If the radius of a circle is increased by 6%, then the area of the circle is increased by -
Correct Answer:
C: 12.36%
Explanation:
If the radius of a circle is increased by 6%, then the area of the circle is increased by - Correct Answer 12.36% Initial area = πr2 New radius = r + 6% of r = 1.06r So, new area = π(1.06r)2 = 1.1236πr2 So, percentage of increase in area = (1.1236πr2 - πr2) / πr2 x 100% = 12.36%
If the circumference of a circle is increased by 50%, its area will be increased by :
Correct Answer:
C: 125%
Explanation:
If the circumference of a circle is increased by 50%, its area will be increased by : Correct Answer 125% Circumference of a circle increases only with radius. Therefore, radius of the circle gets increased by 50%. Now, new radius = R + 50% of R = 1.5R Initial area = π R2 New area = π (1.5R)2 = 2.25 π R2 Percent increase = ((2.25 π R2) - (π R2)} / (π R2) x 100% = 125%

If x/y=4 and y is not 0, what percentage (to the nearest percent) of x is 2x-y?
Correct Answer:
D: 175%
Explanation:
If x/y=4 and y is not 0, what percentage (to the nearest percent) of x is 2x-y? Correct Answer 175% Here, x / y = 4 or, x = 4y or, 2x = 8y or, 2x - y = 8y - y or, 2x - y = 7y Now, (2x - y) / x = 7y / 4y or, 2x - y = 7 / 4 x 100% So, 2x - y = 175% of x

A mixture of 20 kg of spirit and water contains 10% water. How much water must be added to this mixture to raise the percentage of water to 25% ?
Correct Answer:
A: 4
Explanation:
A mixture of 20 kg of spirit and water contains 10% water. How much water must be added to this mixture to raise the percentage of water to 25% ?

A bookseller can gain 6.666% if he offers a 20% commission on the written selling price of a book. If the commission is reduced to 10% , what will be his gain ?
Correct Answer:
C: 20%
Explanation:
A bookseller can gain 6.666% if he offers a 20% commission on the written selling price of a book. If the commission is reduced to 10% , what will be his gain ? Correct Answer 20% Let the actual and written price be A and S respectively. Selling price at 6.666% gain = A + 6.666% of A = 1.0666A Selling price at 20% commission or written price = S - 20% of S = S - 0.2S = 0.8S Selling price at 6.666% gain = Selling price at 20% commission on written price or, 1.066A = 0.8S or, S = 1.066A/0.8 = 1.33325A Selling price at 10% commission = S - 10% of S = S - 0.1S = 0.9S So, gain at 10% commission on written price = (0.9S - A) / A x 100% = (0.9 ×1.33325A - A) / A × 100% = (1.2A - A) / A × 100% = 0.2 × 100% = 20%
