Two-fifth of one-third of three-seventh of a number is 15. What is 40% of that number?

A. 72
B. 84
C. 136
D. 140
E. None of these
Explanation:
Let the number be x. Then,
2/5 of 1/3 of 3/7 of
x = 15 => x = (15 * 5/3 * 3 * 5/2) = 525/2
40% of 525/2 = (40/100 * 525/2) = 105

The ratio of the prices of three articles X, Y and Z is 8 : 5 : 3. If the prices of X , Y and Z are increased by 25%, 20% and 33 1/3% respectively, then what would be the ratio of the new prices of X, Y and Z?

The ratio of the prices of three articles X, Y and Z is 8 : 5 : 3. If the prices of X , Y and Z are increased by 25%, 20% and 33 1/3% respectively, then what would be the ratio of the new prices of X, Y and Z?

A. 5 : 3 : 1
B. 5 : 3 : 2
C. 10 : 7 : 4
D. 10 : 8 : 5
E. None of these
Explanation:
Let the prices of X, Y and Z be 8k, 5k and 3k respectively.
After increase
Price of X = 8k * 125/100 = 10k
Price of Y = 5k * 120/100 = 6k
Price of Z = 3k * (133 1/3)/100 = 4k
Required ratio = 10k : 6k : 4k = 5 : 3 : 2.

The ratio of the prices of three articles X, Y and Z is 8 : 5 : 3. If the prices of X , Y and Z are increased by 25%, 20% and 33 1/3% respectively, then what would be the ratio of the new prices of X, Y and Z? Read More »

A. 136
B. 128
C. 164
D. 214
E. None of these
Explanation:
Let the maximum mark in each test be M.
The candidate failed by 36 marks in the second test.
pass mark in the second test = 216 + 36 = 252
45/100 M = 252
Pass mark in the first test = 40/100 M = 40/45 * 252 = 224.
