Always read mathematics problems
completely and carefully before solv-
ing. If you glance at a question too
quickly you may misunderstand what
really needs to be done.

Key
1. 15% of 70000
15
70000 = 10500 tonnes
100
2. Total exports
= 60 + 45 + 50 + 70 + 40 + 55 = 320
15% of 320000 = 48000
Two years less
70 60
3. Required percent = 100 = 16.67%
60
4. Exports of rice in 2008 = 50000 tonnes
with an increment of 25%, it becomes
125
50000 = 62500
100
Contribution of D = 20% of 62500
= 12500 tonnes
5. Required ratio = 15% : 30% = 1 : 2
6. Let the distance be x km.
x x 15
= x = 50 km
40 50 60
Shortcut:
Distance =
Product of speeds
Difference in time
Difference of speeds
40 50 15
= 50 km

7. When 'n' teams participate, the total number
n (n 1)
of matches =
2
n (n 1)
= 171 n = 19

Note: Instead of solving the equation, sub-
stitute 'n' value in the given options
and check.
8. The average marks
(1 50) + (1 65) + (1 45) + (2 80)
=
1 + 1 + 1 + 2
320
= = 64

9. Total of 15 numbers = 15 32 = 480
Total of first 8 numbers = 8 41 = 328
Total of last 8 numbers = 8 25 = 200
Total of 16 numbers = 328 + 200 = 528
8
th
number = 528 480 = 48
Shortcut :
Increment in the first 8 numbers
= 8 (41 32) = 72
Decrement in the last 8 numbers
= 8 (32 25) = 56
Total increment = 72 56 = 16

th
number = 32 + 16 = 48

E = = 70
145
Shortcut:
Expenditure is always 100%. Profit is 45%
means income will be 145%.
If 145% = Rs.101.50 lakhs, then
100
100% = 101.50 = Rs.70 lakhs
145
12. 100% value (Expenditure) is Rs.76 lakhs,
170
170% value (Income) = 76
100
= Rs.129.20 lakhs
13. Profit% for 2010 & 2013 is 60%
160
Income = 120 = Rs.192 lakhs
100
15. As profit percents for both the years are
different, it can't be determined.
16. 172 17 = 155; 155 34 = 121
