Percentage - MCQ 4 - Question 1

In a library 5 percent books are in English, 10 percent of the remaining are in hindi and 15 percent of the remaining are in Sanskrit. The remaining 11628 books are in French. Then find the total number of books in the library.

Detailed Solution for Percentage - MCQ 4 - Question 1

5% of books are in English,

10% of remaining books are in Hindi,

15% of remaining books are  in Sanskrit. 

Remaining books are in french = 11628

Calculation:

Let the total books in the library be 100%

According to question:

5% of books are in English

Remaining books = 100 - 5 = 95%

10% of remaining are in hindi = 10% of 95 = 9.5

Remaining books = 95 - 9.5 = 85.5%

15% of remaining books are in sanskrit = 15% of 85.5 = 12.825%

Remaining books = 85% - 12.825% = 72.675%

According to question:

72.675% = 11628

⇒ 1% = (11628/72.675)

⇒ 100% = (11628/72.675)× 100 = 16000

∴ Required value = 16000
