Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 3

If the radius of circle is increased by 110% its area is increased by

Detailed Solution for Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 3

Option ( c) 341 is correct. 

Explanation:- 

{Let the initial radius of circle = 10 cm

Then, it's area = π r^ 2 

=  π (10) ^2 

=  100 π cm square. 

Given, (radius is  increased by 110%) 

New radius = ( 100+110) % of 10 cm

=> 210% of 10 cm

{ 210 /100 * 10} cm

=> 21 cm

Therefore, area of circle of radius (21) cm

=> π (21) ^2 

=>  441 π cm square. 

Increase in area=  ( 441 π - 100 π ) cm square. 
=> 341 cm square. }

Detailed Solution for Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 4

= 80% of 7500
= 6000

Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 5

In an exam 80% of the students passed in Eng, 85% in Math and 75% in both. if 40 students failed in both subjects, the total number of students is?

Detailed Solution for Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 5

Let n(A) = no. of students pass in english
    n(B) = no. of students pass in math
    n(A U B) = no. of students pass in either math or english
    n(A ∩ B) = no.of students pass in both math and english
let x are no. of students
⇒ n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
               = 80x/100 + 85x/100 - 75x/100
               = 90x/100
no. of students fail in both either math or english = x - n(A U B)

⇒ 40 = x - 90x/100

 ⇒ 40 =  x/10

⇒  x = 400
total no. of students = 400

In an examination, Summit got 30% marks and failed by 15 marks. In the same examination, Rohit got 40% marks, which is 35 marks more than the pass marks. Then what is the total marks in the examination?

Detailed Solution for Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 8

The correct option is A.
Let the total marks be x.
Sumit got = 30% of x
= 0.3x
Passing marks = 0.3x+15

Rohit got = 40% of x
= 0.4x
Passing marks = 0.4x - 35

Equating both passing marks , we get
0.3x+15 = 0.4x - 35
50 = 0.1x
x = 500

Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 10

In Mathematics exam, a student scored 30% marks in the first paper, out of the total of 180. How much should he score in second paper out of a total of 150, if he is to get an overall average of at least 50%

Detailed Solution for Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 10

Firstly, marks he scored in first paper out of 180 will be

180 x 30÷100 = 54 marks

So he scored 54 marks out of 180 in the first paper.

Now total marks of the examination is 330 i.e 150+180.

50% of 330 is 165.

So in second paper he has to score 165–54=111 marks to get 50% marks over all.

Now the ans is asked in terms of percent so,

111÷150 x 100 = 74%

So he has to get 74 % in the second paper to get a overall percent of 50%.

Detailed Solution for Test: Percentage- 1 - Question 12
It is given that 42% fail in Hindi and 52% fail in English and 17% fail in both
So total fail percentage would be

=> 77 % who have failed SO the percentage passing in both would be 
100-77= 23%
