Sample Problems On Percentage Dear Reader, Below are three problems based on the calculations of percentange on given amounts.

Question 1 Mr.Madhan purchases some articles with market price of Rs.2400. If the tax of the article increased from 10/3 % to 7/2 % then what will be the difference in his purchases. a)Rs 5 b)Rs 3 c)Rs 1 d)Rs 2 Answer: b)Rs 3 Solution: Given that the market price of the articles is Rs.2400. 7/2 % of Rs.2400 = 7/2 x 1/100 x 2400 10/3 % of Rs.2400 = 10/3 x 1/100 x 2400 Then, the required difference = [7/2 x 1/100 x 2400] - [10/3 x 1/100 x 2400] ==> [7/2 - 10/3] x 1/100 x 2400 = 1/6 x 24 = Rs.3 Hence the answer is Rs.3 Question 2 A seller takes 5% on all his sales upto Rs. 5000 and 4% on all his sales exceeding Rs.5000. He returns RS.67150 to his owner after deducting his commission. Then the amount of his total sales is : a)Rs 90000 b)Rs 70000 c)Rs 75000 d)Rs 95000 Answer: b)Rs.70000 Submit Your Resume For Bank & Finance Jobs Solution: Let his total sales be Rs.X Now, Total sales - commission = Rs.67150 X - [ 5% of 5000 + 4% of (X-5000)] = 67150 X - [5/100 x 5000 + 4/100 x 5000] = 67150 X - [250 - 200 +4X/100 ] = 67150 X - 50 - 4X/100 = 67150 96X = [50 + 67150]100

X = 6720000/96 = 70,000 Hence he made total sales of Rs.70,000 Question 3 A machine worth Rs.1,50,000 is insured to 80% of its cost. The machine becomes useless by an accident and the insurance company paid 90% of the insurance. Then the difference between the cost of the machine and the amount received is: a)Rs 42000 b)Rs 50000 c)Rs 63000 d)Rs 28000 Answer: a)Rs.42000 Solution : Amount paid to machine by insurance company: 90% of 80% of the original cost of the machine 90/100 x 80/100 x 1,50,000 7200 x 15 Rs.108000 Then, the required difference is Rs[150000 - 108000] = Rs. 42,000 Hence the answer is Rs.42000 If the operation, + is defined by the equation a + b = ab - b. Then the value of a in a + 1 = 1 + a is : a)0 b)1 c)2 d)none of these Answer: b)1 Solution: Since a + b = ab - b Then a + 1 = a1 - 1 And, 1 + a = 1a - a Therefore, a + 1 = 1 + a becomes,

a1 - 1 = 1 a - a a-1=1-a 2a = 2 a=1 Hence the answer is a=1. Question 2 If the operation, x is defined by the equation X x Y = XY + 5X. Then find the value of a in a x 5 = 5 x a a)5 b)1 c)25 d)none of these Answer: a)5 Submit Your Resume For Bank & Finance Jobs Solution: Given X x Y = XY + 5X. Then, a x 5 = a5 + 5a And, 5 x a = 5a + 55 Therefore, a x 5 = 5 x a becomes a5 + 5 a = 5 a + 5 5 a5 = 5 5 a=5 Hence the value of a is 5.

Question 3 Given sqrt(-1) = i and if the operation, / is defined by the equation X/Y = X+Y / X-Y then which one of the following options is true when a/7 x 7/a = 1 ? a) (a+7)(a-7) = i b) (a+7)/(a-7) = i c) (a2 - 72) = i d)none of these. Answer: b) (a+7)/(a-7) = i Solution: Given X/Y = X+Y / X-Y Then a/7 = a+7 / a-7 And, 7/a = 7+a / 7-a Therefore, a/7 x 7/a = 1 becomes [a+7 / a-7 ] x [ 7+a / 7-a ] = 1 (a+7)2 = (7-a) (a-7) (a+7)2 = (a-7)2 x (-1) a+7 = sqrt[ (a-7)2 x (-1) ] = sqrt(-1) x (a-7) = i(a-7) a+7 / a-7 = i Hence the answer is option b.

Sample Train Problems For Bank PO Exam Dear Reader, Below are three problems on train with time calculations. Points to remember:

1) km/hr to m/s conversion: a km/hr = a x 5/18 m/s. 2) Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a pole or standing man or a signal post is equal to the time taken by the train to cover l metres. 3) Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a stationery object of length b metres is the time taken by the train to cover (l + b) metres. 4) Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in the same direction at u m/s and v m/s, where u > v, then their relative speed is = (u - v) m/s. Question 1 A train 200 m long is moving with the speed of 50km per hour.Find the time taken to pass a tree standing near the railway track. a)14 2/5 seconds b)15 seconds c)16 1/2 seconds d)17 seconds Answer : a)14 2/5 seconds Solution: Speed of the train = 50km/hr = 50 x 5/18 m/sec = 250/18 m/sec Length of the train = 200 m Time taken to cross the tree = 200 / (250/18) = 200 x 18/250 = 72/5 = 14.4 seconds Hence the answer is 14 2/5 seconds. Question 2 A train of length 80 m. If the speed of the train is 120km/hr, then the time taken to cross a 150 m long wall is: a)5 seconds b)3 seconds c)7 seconds d)6 seconds Answer: c)7 seconds Submit Your Resume For Bank & Finance Jobs Solution: speed of the train = 120 km/hr = 120 x5/18 m/sec = 100/3 m/sec

Distance covered in passing the long wall = (80+150) = 230 m Time taken to cross the wall = 230 x 3/100 = 6.9 sec Hence the answer is 7 seconds(approximately) Question 3 A bike and the train are running at a speed of 15km/hr and 70km/hr. The length of the train is 200m.Find the time taken by the train to cross the bike. a)11seconds b)10seconds c)9seconds d)13seconds Answer : d)13 seconds Solution: Speed of the train relative to bike (70 - 15) = 55km/hr = 55 x 5/18 m/sec = 275/18 m/sec Time taken to cross the bike = time taken to cross 200 m at 275/18 m/sec = 200 x 18/275 = 8 x 18/11 = 13.09 seconds. Hence the answer is 13 seconds(approximately)

IBPS Sample Age Problems Dear Reader, Below are three problems based on the calculations of ages. Question 1 The difference of the ages of Ragu and Vimal is 21 years and the product of their age is 72 years. Find the ratio of the ages of Ragu and Vimal. a)8:1 b)6:5 c)7:4 d)2:3 Answer : a)8:1

Solution : Let a be the age of Ragu and b be the age of Vimal. According to the question, a - b = 21 ...(1) and ab = 72 ==> b = 72/a Then (1) becomes, a - 72/a = 21 a2 - 72 = 21a a2 - 21a - 72 = 0 a2 - 24a + 3a -72 = 0 a(a-24) + 3(a-24) = 0 (a-24)(a+3) = 0 a = 24 or a = -3 Since age cannot be a negative number, the age of Ragu will be 24 years. Therefore b = 3. Hence the age of Vimal is 3 years Then the required ratio = Ragu / Vimal = 24/3 = 8/1 Hence the answer is 8:1 Question 2 Five years ago, Karthick's age was twice that of his daughter's age and the present age of Karthick and his daughter is in the ratio of 11:6 respectively. What is Karthick's age ? a) 55 b) 53 c) 57 d)54 Answer : a) 55 Solution: Let K be karthick's age and D be his daughter's age. Five years ago, K-5 = 2(D-5) K - 2D = -5 ....(1) and their ages are in the ratio 11:6. i.e., K/D = 11 / 6 6K = 11D ==> K = 11D/6 ....(2)

Sub. K = 11D / 6 in (2) (11D/6) - 2D = -5 11D - 12D = -30 -D = -30 ==> D=30 Thus, the age of her daughter is 30 years. Now, K = 11 x 30/6 = 55 years Hence the age of Karthick is 55 years. Question 3 The present age of Somu is half that of Ramu. After 5 years, the ratio of Somu's age to that of Ramu's age will be 6:11. Then the present age of Somu and Ramu will be a)20,40 b)25,50 c)30,60 d)35:45 Answer: b) 25,50 solution: Let X be Somu's age, then Ramu's age will be 2X. After 5 years their ages will be X+5 and 2X+5 respectively. Given that the ratio(after 5 Years) is = 6:11 i.e., 6/11 = X+5 / 2X+5 ==> 6(2X+5) = 11(X+5) 12X + 30 = 11X + 55 X = 55 - 30 = 25 And 2X = 50 Hence the ages of Somu and Ramu will be 25 and 50.

Now work is to be done by half of the team (4 m + 5 w) work will be done by half of the team is double time i.e. 40 days. 136. 3; Others are equal to 192. 137. 4 138. 2; Percentage of production of F in April = 592 100 = 79% 748 139. 1; Growth rate of components = June May 100 May A C E F G 50.6% 12.12% 2.9% 34.82% 33.97% 140. 4; percentage growth of C = 374 183 100 = 104% 183 141. 2; Percentage production of D with respect to G = 426 100 = 82% 546 142. 3; Others are equal to 288. 143. 3; Volume of large box = 3 4 4.5 224 = 54 224 Area of box = 54 224 = 576 21 Therefore Side of square = 576 = 24 cm. 144. 5. 145.3; Percentage growth over the period

= 366 315 100 = 51 100 = 16% 315 146. 2; 350 100 = 108 324 147. 2; LCM of 18, 24, 32 and 56 = 1016 Lesser number of five digits = 10000 1000 + 2016 gives remainder 1936. Subtracting from LCM, (2016 1936) = 80 So the least number = 10000 + 80 = 10080 148. 3; Area of triangle = area of parallelogram = base altitude = 36 21 = 378 cm2 149. 2; Let the C.P. = 100 C.P. of retailer = 100 88 94 97 = 88 0.94 0,97 = 80.23 100 100 100 Consumer price = 100 92 97 98 = 87.45 100 100 100 % of profit = 87.45 80-.23 100 = 9 80.23 150. 4; Speed = 30 1000 = 25 m/sec 60 60 3 Time = 87.5 + 62.5 = 150 3 = 18 sec 25/3 25
