What is the minimum number of those who like this ? A) 50 B) 60 C) 70 D)80 Ans. A A U B = n A + n B – n(A n B) Or 100 = 80+70-n(A n B) n (A n B) = 150-100 = 50Q.3 In two successive years 104 & 96 students of a school appeared at the final examination & 75% & 87 ½ % passed. The average % of the passing is :- A) 80 % B) 81 % C) 82 % D) 83 % Ans. B % of passing = Total passing / Total students * 100 Students passed in Ist year = 104*75/100 = 78 Students passed in IInd year = 96*87.5/100 = 84 Therefore, total pass = 78+84 = 162 Or Total students = 104+96 = 200 Thus, according to the formula, we have 162/200*100 = 81% Q.4 Salaries of A & B together amount Rs.2000/- A spent 95 % of his salary & B 85% of his salary .

A Salary of A & B together Rs. 2000/- Let A’s salary =x then B’s salary = (2000-x) Expenditure of A = 95% of x Savings of A = 5% of A Savings of B=15% of (2000-x) 5% of A = 15% of B Or 5x/100 = 15/100 (2000-x) Or 5x = 30000-15x 20x = 30000 Or x=1500 Q.5 A’s salary is 30% more than the B’s salary. B’s salary is 40 % of C’s salary . If the total salary of A,B & C together is 7680. What is the A’s salary ? A) 2060 B) 2070 C) 2080 D) 2090 Ans. C Let C’s salary be 100, B = 40/100*100 = 40X A = 4
