Solutions (1-5)

Total Candidates = 45000
With Work Experience = 38250
Without Work Experience = 45000 – 38250 = 6750

1. (2)
Required number of candidates = 10800 + 4050 = 14850

2. (4)
Required number of candidates = 23400 + 8550 = 31950

3. (2)
Required ratio = 1350 : 900 = 3 : 2.


4. (3) Required number of candidates = 5400 + 6750 = 12150.

5. (3) Required percentage = 6750/10800 * 100 = 62.5


Solutions (6-10)
6. (2)
Total marks of Charu = 72% of 100 + 60% of 100 + 68% of 150 + 74% of 60 + 68% of 150 + 75% of 40
= 72 + 60 + 102 + 44.4 + 102 + 30 = 410.4
Percentage of marks = 410.4/600 * 100 = 69 approx

7. (3
Required difference = (85 – 75) = 10

8. (2)
Required percentage = 55% of 40/66% of 100 * 100 = 33.33%

9. (2)
Required percentage = (80% of 60 + 62% of 40)/ (60 + 40) * 100 = 72.8

10. (5)
Average marks of all students in science = (82 + 85 + 72 + 80 + 68 + 90)/6 * 150/100 = 119.25
