The ratio of number of boys and girls in a class is 3 : 2.  In the 1st semester exam 20% of boys and 25%
    of girls get more than or equal to 90%  marks. What percentage of students get less than 90% marks ?

a) 56    b) 70    c) 78    d) 80











. Expl : Let boys =3x and girls =2x.

    Number of those who get less than 90% mark  =(80% of 3x) + (75% of 2x)

    =(80/100 )*3x +(75/100 *2x)  =39x/10

    Required percentage = (39x/10 *1/5x *100)% = 78%.

It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep. What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
