Two employees X and Y are paid a total of Rs. 550 per week by their employer. If X is paid 120 percent of the sum paid to Y, how much is Y paid per week?
Answer: Option 'C'
Let the amount paid to X per week = x
and the amount paid to Y per week = y
Then x + y = 550
But x = 120% of y = 120y/100 = 12y/10
∴12y/10 + y = 550
⇒ y[12/10 + 1] = 550
⇒ 22y/10 = 550
⇒ 22y = 5500
⇒ y = 5500/22 = 500/2 = Rs.250

Rahul went to a shop and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 30 Paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Answer: Option 'A'
Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25
Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax
=> Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100
Let the cost of the tax free items = x
Given that tax rate = 6%
∴ (25−30/100−x)6/100 = 30/100
⇒ 6(25 −0.3 −x) = 30
⇒ (25 − 0.3 − x) = 5
⇒ x = 25 − 0.3 − 5 = 19.7

Two students appeared at an examination. One of them secured 9 marks more than the other and his marks was 56% of the sum of their marks. What are the marks obtained by them?
Answer: Option 'A'
Let the marks secured by them be x and (x + 9)
Then sum of their marks = x + (x + 9) = 2x + 9
Given that (x + 9) was 56% of the sum of their marks
=>(x+9) = 56/100(2x+9)
=>(x+9) = 14/25(2x+9)
=> 25x + 225 = 28x + 126
=> 3x = 99
=> x = 33
Then (x + 9) = 33 + 9 = 42
Hence their marks are 33 and 42
