What is the difference between the total number of people who did not vote at Centres A and B together and that who did not vote at Centres D and E together?

116

Correct Answer is: E

Solution:

Required difference = (24%of 2400 + 15% of 2000) - (20% of 2100 + 20%1700) = (576 + 300) - (420 +340) = 876-760 = 116

Q. 71. The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers of Set A is 125. What will be the sum of Set B containing 4 consecutive odd numbers, if the smallest odd number of Set B is 16 more than the highest odd number of Set A?

Select the correct answer

192

202

198

Correct Answer is: C

Solution: Let the five consecutive odd number of set A be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x+ 8 Then x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 125 or, 5x + 20 = 125 or, 5x = 105 x = 21 Highest odd number of Set A = 21 + 8 = 29 Smallest odd number of Set B = 29 + 16 = 45 Sum of four consecutive odd numbers of Set B = 45 + 47 + 49 + 51 = 192 Method 2 Middle number (or average) = 125/5 = 25 so, 5 consecutive odd nos, are 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 Reqd sum = 45 + 47 + 49 + 51 = 192

Select the correct answer

Rs. 9,450

Rs. 18,800

Rs. 20,700

Rs. 21,200

Rs. 2750

Correct Answer is: A

Solution:

Method II: Suppose Simi's salary = Rs. 100 Remaining after Ep = 25 Simi's saving = 60% of 25 = 15 She gave,
25 - 15 = 10 to her sister Here 10 = 2100 , 100 = 21000 Rimi's salary = 75% of 21000 = $\frac{3}{4}$ x 21000 = Rs. 15750 Rimi's expenditure = 60% of 15750 = $\frac{3}{5}$ x 15750 = Rs. 9450
