Given:

Monthly income = Rs 12,000

Monthly Expenditure = Rs 10,000

Increase in income after a year = 12%

Increase in expenditure after a year = 5%

Concept Used:

New Amount = Original Amount + Percentage of Original Amount

Savings = Income – Expenditure

Calculation:

Savings before increase = 12000 – 10000 = Rs 2,000

Increase in income after a year = 12000 + 12% of 12000

Increase in income = 12000 +  = 12000 + 1440 = Rs 13440

Increase in expenditure = 10000 + 5% of 10000

Increase in expenditure =  Rs 10500

Savings after increase = 13440 – 10500 = Rs 2940

Increase in savings = Rs 2940 – 2000 = Rs 940

Savings percentage increase = %

Hence, the percentage increase in savings is 47%.

Given:

Average age = 24 years

Age, P : Q = 3 : 2

LCM (age of P, Q) = 48

Calculation:

Let the ages of P and Q be ‘3x’ and ‘2x’ respectively.

⇒ LCM of ages of P and Q = 3 × 2x = 48

⇒ 6x = 48

⇒ x = 8

Age of P = 3x = 24 years

Age of Q = 2x = 16 years

Let age of R be ‘R’

Now,

(24 + 16 + R)/3 = 24

⇒ 40 + R = 72

⇒ R = 32 years

∴ LCM of ages of P, Q and R = LCM of 24, 16 and 32 = 96

Number of toys sold by Shop Ki in March = 325 

profit on 1 toy = 35 - 20 =  Rs 15

Total profit earned by Shop Ki in March = 325 x 15 =  Rs 4875

Number of candidates qualified from all states in the year 2000 = 140 + 150 + 820 + 130 + 150 = 1390

Number of candidates qualified from all states in the year 2001 = 610 + 740 + 124 + 890 + 350 = 2714

Therefore, the required percentage

= 51.21% ≈ 51%

Required average

= 4736

Let, CP of 1 article = Rs 100

CP of 16 articles = Rs 1600

Now he is selling 4 articles for free after purchase of 12 articles. 

So, SP of 12 articles = 120%  of CP of 16 articles

= 120% of  1600 = 1920

SP of 1 article  Rs  Rs 160

MP of 1 article after 20%discount on SP

 Rs 200

Thus, required percent = (200 - 100) x 100 = 100% 

Let the original   

So,  of x

New  of x
