Percentage - MCQ 1 - Question 1

In a class, 60% of the students are boys and in an examination, 80% of the girls scored more than 40 marks(Maximum Marks:150). If 60% of the total students scored more than 40 marks in the same exam, what is the fraction of the boys who scored 40 marks or less.

Detailed Solution for Percentage - MCQ 1 - Question 1

Assume Total no of students = 100
60% of the students are boys. so Boys=60,Girls=40
No. of girls who scored more than 40 marks = 80% of girls = 80% of 40 = 32.
No. of students who scored more than 40 marks = 60% of Total Students = 60
Therefore No. of boys who scored more than 40 marks = 60-32=28
No. of boys who scored less= Total boys – Boys(scored more) = 60-28=32
Fraction=(scored less)/Total boys = 32/60 =8/15

What percentage of his correct new salary will get in the fourth month, if the excess paid to him in the previous three months is to be deducted from his fourth month?

Detailed Solution for Percentage - MCQ 1 - Question 3

Assume Deepak’s salary =10000

Wrongly typed(80%) hike amount = 8000
Diff = 3000; For three months = 9000
Fourth Month Salary = 15000-9000=6000
15000*x/100 = 6000 => x=40%

Therefore % of students who do not get scholarship =100-(12+10) = 78%
