Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:09:

pass English =80%
fail=100-80=20%
pass Math = 70%
fail in Math=100-70=30%
fail in both=10%
total fail students= fail in Eng+fail in Math-common
= 20+30-10=40%
if 40% fail then 60% will pass
let total students=x
hence
60% 0f (total students)=144
60/100 of (x)= 144
x=(144×100)/60
X=240
total students=240

B. 105
C. 424
D. 2124
Recent Answer : Added by G S Dheeraj On 2022-08-14 16:33:59:

The series is 15, 16, 34, 105, 424, 2124, 12576
1) (15*1) + 1 = 16
2) (16*1) + 2 = 34
3) (34*3) + 3 = 105
4) (105*4) + 4 = 424
5) (424*5) + 5 = 2125
Clearly, they gave 2124 instead of 2125, so it is the wrong number in the series.

9600*10/100 = 960

9600 – 960 = 8640

8640*3/8 = 3240 + 960

= 4200

Ques:- A reduction of 40% in the price of bananas would enable a man to obtain 64 more for Rs.40, what is reduced price per dozen?
Recent Answer : Added by Pavithra On 2023-05-26 01:10:38:

Reduction of 40% or 4/10th in price of bananas will lead to an increase of 4/(10 – 4) = 2/3rd part in quantity if expenditure is constant.
If original quantity is q, then :
2q/3 = 64
=> q = 64 x 3/2 = 96 = 8 dozens.
=> Original price per dozen = 40/8 = Rs 5
