Hints & Solutions
1. Solution (5) 22𝑦
Or, 11x = 9
Maximum marks of the exam = 360 2𝑦
Passing marks of the exam = 30% of 360 = 108 Or, x = 9
Since, the marks obtained by student P = 108 + 36 Since, the savings of Mohit is Rs. 3,500 more than
= 144 that of Rohit.
So, 11x – 2y + 3500 = 3y – 8x
144 Or, 19x + 3500 = 5y
𝑥 = × 100 2𝑦
360 So, 19 × + 3500 = 5y
9
x = 40% 7𝑦
Since, the marks obtained by student Q = 108 - 18 Or, 3500 = 9
= 90 So, y = 4500
So, So, income of Mohit = 3 × 4500 = Rs. 13,500
90
𝑦 = × 100 4. Solution (2)
360
y = 25% According to the question,
Required difference = x - y = 40 - 25 = 15 Total number of hindi speaking students = 160×
40
100
= 64
2. Solution (2)
Total number of english speaking students = 160×
Maximum marks = 400 60
Obtained marks by Rahul = x% of 400 = 4x = 96

100 + (𝑥 − 30) 70 + 𝑥
According to the question: 48
400𝑥
4𝑥 − = 80 40 72
70 + 𝑥
280𝑥 + 4𝑥 2 − 400𝑥
= 80
70 + 𝑥
4𝑥 2 − 120𝑥 = 5600 + 80𝑥
𝑥 2 − 50𝑥 − 1400 = 0 72
𝑥 2 − 70𝑥 + 20𝑥 − 1400 = 0 Required percentage = 40 ×100 = 180%
𝑥(𝑥 − 70) + 20(𝑥 − 70) = 0
(𝑥 − 70)(𝑥 + 20) = 0 5. Solution (4)
x = 70 Given:
Obtained marks by Rahul = 4x = 280 15% of the votes were declared invalid
the winner gets 60% of the valid votes
3. Solution (4) Total no. of votes = Valid votes + Invalid votes
Let the expenditure of Mohit be Rs. ‘8x’ Let the total number of votes be 100x
So, income of Rohit = 8x ×
11
= Rs. ‘11x’ Valid votes = (100 − 15)x = 85x
8
Now the winner gets 60% of valid votes and the
Let the expenditure of Rohit be Rs. ‘2y’
loser gets 40% votes
So, income of Mohit = 2y × 1.50 = Rs. ‘3y’
2 4𝑦
Therefore, difference between winner and loser
So, savings of Rohit = 2y × 9 = Rs. 9 votes= (60% − 40%)of 85x
According to question; ⇒ 20% of 85x
4𝑦
11x – 2y = 9
⇒ 17x
And 17x=3400

x=200 8. Solution (2)
100x=20000 Given:
The number of total votes is 20000 20% of the voters did not cast their votes
Total invalid votes = 72
6. Solution (1) The winning candidate got 43% of the total votes
Given: Total winning votes = 276
25% of the votes were declared invalid Let the total number of votes be 100x
the winner gets 52% of the valid votes Total number of voters who cast their votes = 100x
Total no. of votes = Valid votes + Invalid votes 80
× 100
Let the total number of votes be 100x
= 80x
Valid votes = (100 − 25)x = 75x
Total number of valid votes = 80x − 72
Now the winner gets 52% of valid votes and the 43
loser gets 48% votes Votes gained by winning candidate = 100x ×
100
Therefore, difference between winner and loser = 43x
votes = (52% − 48%)of 85x Votes gained by losing candidate = 80x − 72 −
⇒ 4%of 75x 43x
⇒ 3x = 37x − 72
And 3x=1800 Difference between winner and loser votes
x=600 =43x−(37𝑥 − 72)
100x=60000 276 = 43x−37x+72
The number of total votes is 60000 6x = 204
X = 34
7. Solution (1) Total number of voters = 100x
Given: Total number of voters = 3400
10% of the voters did not cast their votes
Total invalid votes = 44 9. Solution (1)
The winning candidate got 53% of the total votes Given:
Total winning votes = 380 70% of the voters cast their votes
Let the total number of votes be 100x 10% 0f casted voted declared invalid
Total number of voters who cast their votes = 100x Let the total number of votes be 100x
×
90 Total number of voters who cast their votes = 100x
100 70
= 90x × 100 = 70x
90
Total number of valid votes = 90x − 44 Total number of valid votes = 70x × 100 = 63x
59
Votes gained by winning candidate = 100x × 100 Given that A candidate got 10143 votes which were
= 59x 70% of the valid votes
10143×100
Votes gained by losing candidate = 90x − 44 − Total valid votes = 70
= 14490
59x = 31x−44 Now total valid votes are 14490 which is equal to
Difference between winner & loser votes = 59x − 63x
(31𝑥 − 44) 63x = 14490
380 = 59x − 31x + 44 X = 230
28x = 336 100x = 23000

Let the total number of votes be 100x = Votes of losing candidate + 3500
Total number of voters who cast their votes = 100x Winning candidate gets 28x + 3500 votes
80 Now, valid votes = Winner candidate
× 100 = 80x
20 votes+Losing candidate votes
Total number of valid votes = 80x × = 64x 70x − 2100 = 28x + 3500 + 28x

X = 200
Let total voters be 5x
100x = 20000
Voters promise to for A=4x
The total number of votes are 20000
20% of the voters went back on their promise to
vote for A
11. Solution (1)
Voters vote for A = (100 − 20)% × 4x
Let total votes be 100x
= 80% × 4x
5000 voters didn’t cast their vote 80
= 100 × 4x
Casted votes = 100x − 5000
Total number of valid vote = (100𝑥 − 5000) × Voters vote for A = 3.2x
80 Voters who went back their promise to vote for A
100 now they will vote for B = 4x − 3.2x
= 80x−4000 Voters who went back their promise to vote for A
Losing candidate got 24% of total votes means he now they will vote for B = 0.8x
gets = 24x Voters promise to for B = 5x − 4x
Winning candidate won by 2400 votes, so he gets Voters promise to for B = x
= Votes of losing candidate + 2400 30% of the voters went back on their promise to
Winning candidate gets 24x + 2400 votes vote for B
Now, valid votes = Winner candidate votes Voters vote for B = (100 − 30)%× x
+Losing candidate votes =70% × x
80x − 4000 = 24x + 2400 + 24x 70
= 100 × x
32x = 6400
= 0.7x
X = 200
Voters who went back their promise to vote for B
total votes be 100x = 100 × 200 now they will vote for A = x − 0.7x
= 20000 Voters who went back their promise and vote for B
the total number of votes are 20000 now they will vote for A = 0.3x
Total Votes secured by A = 3.2x + 0.3x ⇒ 3.5x
12. Solution (3) Total votes secured by B + 0.7x + 0.8x ⇒ 1.5x
Let total votes be 100x Candidate A won by 3500 votes = Votes secured
3000 voters didn’t cast their vote by A − Votes secured by B
Casted votes = 100x − 3000 3500 = 3.5x − 1.5x
Total number of valid vote = (100𝑥 − 3000) × 3500 = 2x

Invalid votes = 5% ⇒ n(T)= 73, n(C)= 65
Valid votes = (100 − 5)% Now, According to the question
Valid votes = 95% n(C ∪ T) ≤ 100
95
Valid votes = 100 (500𝑥 + 10000) ⇒ 𝑛(𝑇) + 𝑛(𝑈) − 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇 ) ≤ 100
⇒ 73 + 65 − 𝑥 ≤ 100
Candidate got 16625 votes which are x% of valid

Also, 73−𝑥 ≥ 0
16625 = 100 × 100 (500𝑥 + 10000) ⇒ 𝑥 ≤ 73
17500 = 5𝑥 2 + 100 65 − 𝑥 ≥ 0
5𝑥 2 + 100 − 17500 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥 ≤ 65
Solving the quadratic equation ∴ 38 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 65
𝑥 2 + 20 − 3500 = 0 Thus, Excluding 36 all options is in between 38 ≤
𝑥 2 + 70x − 50x − 3500 = 0 𝑥 ≤ 65

100 = 55000 11,000+ 110𝑥 - 100𝑥 - 𝑥 2 > 10000
Hence, bonus earned = 1.5% of Rs 55000 = Rs 825 1000+ 10𝑥 − 𝑥 2 > 0
𝑥 2 - 10𝑥 −1000 < 0
16. Solution (4) 𝑥 2 - 10𝑥+25 < 1000+25
Let the total number of votes be 100. (𝑥 − 5)2 < 1025
Number of uncast votes = 8 𝑥 − 5 < 32

25. Solution (3) Let T be the Person who like Tea, C be the person
Let the number of valid votes be x. who like Coffee
Then, 68% of x – 32% of x = 144 ⇒ n(T)= 73, n(C)= 65
⇔ 36% of x = 144 Now, According to the question
36 n(C ∪ T) ≤ 100
⇔ 100 𝑥 = 144
⇒ 𝑛(𝑇) + 𝑛(𝑈) − 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇 ) ≤ 100
⇔ x = 400.
⇒ 73 + 65 − 𝑥 ≤ 100
Total number of votes polled = (400 + 302) = 702
⇒ 𝑥 ≥ 38
26. Solution (3) Also, 73−𝑥 ≥ 0
Total number of voters = 25000 ⇒ 𝑥 ≤ 73
Percentage of voters who voted = 70% 65 − 𝑥 ≥ 0
Percentage of voters who did not vote = 100 - 70 = ⇒ 𝑥 ≤ 65
30% ∴ 38 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 65

× 200 = 100  2.8 x = 2.6x + 6800
100
 0.2 x = 6800
Number of families having a car = 25% of 200 =
25  x = 3400.
100
× 200 = 50
Number of families having both bike and car = 50. Solution (1)
12.5
12.5% of 200 = 100
× 200 = 25 Given, Total Population = 622500
Hence, Number of families that do not have a bike Let, Number of women = 40x,
or a car And Number of men = 43x
So, 40x + 43x = 622500, => X = 7500
= 200 - 100 – 50 + 25 = 75
So, Number of women = 40× 7500 = 300000.
And, Number of men = 43× 7500 = 322500
47. Solution (3)
Number of literate men = 48% of 322500
Let, Number of books in library = X, 48
= 100 × 322500 = 154800
Then, Number of urdu books = 60% 𝑜𝑓 𝑥 = 0.6X,
Remaining books = x - 0.6x = 0.4x Number of Literate women = 16% of 300000
16
 60% of remaining books is hindi = 0.6 × 0.4𝑋 =100 × 300000 = 48000
= 0.24X Total number of literate persons in town
= 154800+48000 = 202800
