If the price of rice increases by 45%, how much should one reduce the consumption in order to keep expenditure constant???What is the logic of solving this question???What are the shortcut methods for solving this question???
let price be .. 100 new price is 145 expenditure is constant.
(c*p)/e= (c1*p1)/e where c1,p1 is new consmption n new price respectively. or 100*c=c1*145 c1/c=100/145 so change should be (c1-c)/c= 100-145/145 (-ve shows reduction) somewhere around 31.03%???
Shyam spends 20% of his monthly income of this household expenditure, 15% of the rest of books, 30% of the rest on clothes and says the rest. On counting, he comes to know that he has finally saved Rs9520. Find his monthly income??? What is the shortcut of solving this type of questions???
speed up ur calculations & u can solve this faster..
it requires to be solved or u can cross check with answers after getting equations.
In a class, 25% of the students were absent for an exam. 30% failed by 20 marks and 10% just passed because of grace marks of 5. Find the average score of the class in the remaining students school an average of 60 marks and the past marks are 33 (counting the final scores of the candidates)???a) 37.266b) 37.6c) 37.8d) 36.93
consider 100 students.25 didnt appear.30 got 13 marks. (33-20)and 10 got 33 exactly (forget the 5 grace marks .. passing matters.. that's engg blood talking!!! )rest 35 students got 60 marks.so class average will be.. (33*10+13*30+35*60)/75=2820/75 =37.6correct me if i am wrong
clearly 3 *(something) , rest is cancelled... you may go ahead and check further but you may save time and mark c.
Although, do check just in case if they have none of these option. multiply the (p-q)(q-r)(r-p) given in C option and see it it gives "something" part.
