Percentages

If the price increases by 20%, the new price is 120% of the original. To find the percentage decrease to return to the original price, calculate the decrease from 120% back to 100%, which is (20/120)*100 = 16 2/3%.

Let the original salary be x. After a 10% raise, salary becomes 1.10x. Then a 5% reduction makes it 0.95 × 1.10x = 1.045x. Given this equals Rs.1045, so 1.045x = 1045, hence x = 1045 / 1.045 = 1000. However, this calculation shows original salary as 1000, which matches option C. Rechecking calculation: 1.10 × x = raised salary, then reduced by 5% means multiplied by 0.95, so final salary = 1.10 × 0.95 × x = 1.045x. So x = 1045 / 1.045 = 1000. Therefore, original salary is Rs.1000, option C is correct.

Let the three numbers be x (first), y (second), and z (third). Given z = 1125. The second number y = (1/9) of z = 1125/9 = 125. Given (5/7)*x = 48% of y = 0.48 * 125 = 60. So, (5/7)*x = 60 => x = (60 * 7)/5 = 84. Finally, 25% of x = 0.25 * 84 = 21. Therefore, the correct answer is 21, which corresponds to option D.

The percentages given are 44% Muslims, 28% Hindus, and 10% Sikhs, totaling 82%. The remaining percentage for other communities is 100% - 82% = 18%. Calculating 18% of 850 gives (18/100) × 850 = 153. Therefore, 153 boys belong to the other communities, making option C the correct answer.

If 20 teachers out of 80 are transferred, the number of teachers remaining is 80 - 20 = 60. To find the percentage remaining, calculate (60/80) × 100 = 75%. Therefore, 75% of the original faculty remains, which corresponds to option D.

The question states that the number of valid votes received by candidate A exceeds those received by candidate B by 15% of the total votes polled. Total votes polled = 8720. Invalid votes = 20% of 8720 = 1744. Valid votes = 8720 - 1744 = 6976. Let votes for B = x. Then votes for A = x + 15% of total votes = x + 0.15 * 8720 = x + 1308. Since total valid votes = votes for A + votes for B, we have x + (x + 1308) = 6976, which simplifies to 2x + 1308 = 6976. Solving for x gives x = (6976 - 1308)/2 = 2834. Therefore, votes for B = 2834, which corresponds to option C. This matches the explanation and the calculations verified by the search results. The initial correct_answer field was incorrect and has been corrected to C.

If Mr. X's salary is 30% more than Mr. Y's, then Mr. X's salary is 130% of Mr. Y's salary. To find what percent of Mr. X's salary is more than Mr. Y's salary, calculate the difference relative to Mr. X's salary: ((130 - 100) / 130) * 100 = (30 / 130) * 100 = 23 1/13 %. Therefore, Mr. X's salary is 23 1/13 % more than Mr. Y's salary when expressed as a percentage of Mr. X's salary. This matches option C.

Let the man's income be Rs. x. He donates 5% of his income, so the remainder is 95% of x, which is 0.95x. He then deposits 20% of this remainder in the bank, leaving him with 80% of 0.95x, which is 0.8 × 0.95x = 0.76x. Given that this amount is Rs. 1919, we have 0.76x = 1919. Solving for x gives x = 1919 / 0.76 = 2525. Therefore, the man's income is Rs. 2525, which corresponds to option B.

Let the number be x. Two-fifths of one-third of three-sevenths of x is given as 15. This can be written as (2/5) * (1/3) * (3/7) * x = 15. Simplifying the fractions: (2/5) * (1/3) * (3/7) = (2 * 1 * 3) / (5 * 3 * 7) = 6/105 = 2/35. So, (2/35) * x = 15, which gives x = 15 * (35/2) = 262.5. Now, 40% of 262.5 is 0.4 * 262.5 = 105. Since 105 is not among the options, the question or options appear inconsistent. The correct calculated answer is 105, but it is not listed. Therefore, the question or options need correction. Given the current options, none is correct for the stated problem. The verified correct answer is 105, which is not listed.

There are 40% technicians and 60% non-technicians. Among technicians, 60% are permanent, so 40% are temporary: 40% × 40% = 16%. Among non-technicians, 40% are permanent, so 60% are temporary: 60% × 60% = 36%. Total temporary = 16% + 36% = 52%. However, this calculation shows 52%, which matches option C, but the original question states 60% of technicians and 40% of non-technicians are permanent, so temporary percentages are 40% and 60% respectively. Calculating temporary workers: (40% technicians × 40% temporary) + (60% non-technicians × 60% temporary) = 16% + 36% = 52%. Therefore, the correct answer is C (52%).

Let A's salary be x and B's salary be 2000 - x. A's savings = 5% of x = 0.05x; B's savings = 15% of (2000 - x) = 0.15(2000 - x). Since their savings are equal, 0.05x = 0.15(2000 - x). Solving gives x = 1250, so A's salary is Rs.1250.

C's monthly income is Rs. 15,000. B's income is 12% more than C's, so B's income = 15000 + 12% of 15000 = 15000 + 1800 = Rs. 16,800. The ratio of A to B is 5:2, so A's income = (5/2) × 16800 = Rs. 42,000 per month. Therefore, A's annual income = 42000 × 12 = Rs. 504,000.

If the candidate got 35% of the votes and lost by 2250 votes, the rival got 2250 votes more, which is 65% of the total votes. The difference (65% - 35% = 30%) corresponds to 2250 votes. So, 30% of total votes = 2250, thus total votes = 2250 / 0.30 = 7500.

Let the number be x. According to the problem, 30% of x exceeds 20% of x by 18, so 0.3x - 0.2x = 18, which simplifies to 0.1x = 18. Therefore, x = 18 / 0.1 = 180.

The total percentage spent is 40% + 25% + 15% + 5% = 85%. Therefore, the remaining balance is 15% of the total money. Given that 15% equals Rs. 1305, the total money is Rs. 1305 ÷ 0.15 = Rs. 8700.

Let the number be x. Then 15% of 30% of 50% of x equals 90, so (0.15)(0.30)(0.50)x = 90. This simplifies to 0.0225x = 90, so x = 90 / 0.0225 = 4000. However, 4000 is option A, so the correct answer is A, not D. Rechecking calculation: 0.15 * 0.30 = 0.045; 0.045 * 0.50 = 0.0225; 90 / 0.0225 = 4000. Therefore, correct answer is A.

Squares ending in 1 occur when the original number ends in 1 or 9. From 1 to 70, numbers ending in 1 or 9 appear 7 times each (e.g., 1,11,21,...,61 and 9,19,29,...,69), totaling 14 numbers. Thus, 14 numbers have squares ending in 1.

Let the number be x. The difference between the number and its two-fifth is x - (2/5)x = (3/5)x = 510. Solving for x gives x = 510 * (5/3) = 850. Ten percent of 850 is 0.10 * 850 = 85, which corresponds to option B.

Given: 5% of A's income = 15% of B's income, and 10% of B's income = 20% of C's income. Income of C is Rs. 2000 (note the question states Rs. 2000 in verified sources, not Rs. 200). From 10% of B = 20% of C, we get B = 2 × C = 2 × 2000 = Rs. 4000. From 5% of A = 15% of B, we get A = 3 × B = 3 × 4000 = Rs. 12000. Total income = A + B + C = 12000 + 4000 + 2000 = Rs. 18000. The original question states C's income as Rs. 200, but all verified sources use Rs. 2000, so the question and options have been corrected accordingly. The correct total income is Rs. 18000, which corresponds to option A.

The percentage of students who failed in at least one subject is calculated using the formula for union of two sets: Failed in Urdu + Failed in English - Failed in both = 40% + 45% - 25% = 60%. This means 60% of the students failed in Urdu or English or both, i.e., at least one subject. This matches option C (60%). The initial correct answer was B (65%), which is incorrect. The correct answer is C (60%).

If the price increases by 50%, the new price is 1.5 times the original. To keep expenditure the same, quantity must be reduced such that (new quantity) × (new price) = original quantity × original price. Therefore, new quantity = original quantity / 1.5 = 2/3 of original quantity, so quantity must be reduced by 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 or 33 1/3%.

The student needs 36% to pass and fails by 14 marks, meaning he scored 14 marks less than 36% of the total. So, 130 + 14 = 144 marks is 36% of the total marks. Therefore, total marks = 144 / 0.36 = 400.

If y exceeds x by 25%, then y = 1.25x. To find by what percent x is less than y, express x in terms of y: x = y / 1.25 = 0.8y. This means x is 0.8 (or 80%) of y, so x is 20% less than y. Therefore, the correct answer is 20%.

To find 37.5% of 976, convert the percentage to a decimal: 37.5% = 0.375. Then multiply: 0.375 × 976 = 366. This matches option C, which is the correct answer. The original marked correct answer (B) was incorrect.

If P gets 25% more than Q, then let Q = 1 unit. P = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25 units. The question asks by what percent Q is less than P, which means the difference relative to P: ((P - Q) / P) × 100 = (1.25 - 1) / 1.25 × 100 = 0.25 / 1.25 × 100 = 20%. Therefore, Q gets 20% less than P. The correct answer is option C (20%).
