In an examination x% failed in Hindi and y% failed in Science, if z% of the candidates failed in both of the subjects. The percentage of students who passed in both of the subjects is, 100-(x+y-z) 7. If A's income is r% more than B's income, the B's income is less than A's income by (r/100+r) * 100% 8.If A's income is r% less than B's income, then B's income is more than A's income by (r/100-r) * 100 9. (i)If the price of commodity increases by r% then reduction in consumption so as not to increase the expenditure is (r/100+r) * 100 (ii)If the price of commodity decreases by r% then,(r/100-r)*100 10.If the population of town (or) length of a tree is 'p' and its annual increase is r% then, (i)population (or) length of a tree after 'n' years is, p[1+(r/100)] (ii)population (or) length of a tree 'n' years ago is, p/[1+(r/100)n] 11.If the population of town (or) value of a machine is 'p' and annual decrease is r% then, (i)population (or) value of machine after 'n' years is, p[1-(r/100)n] (ii)population (or) value of a machine 'n' years ago is, p/[1-(r/100)n] 12. If two values are respectively x% and y% more than a third value, then the first is [(100+x) / (100+y)] * 100% of second 13.Total no. of votes = (Difference in votes/Difference in %) * 100 14.Maximum marks = [(pass marks/pass %) * 100] 15.Total marks = (Difference in marks / Difference in %)*100 16. (i)Reduced rate = [(Amount/Quantity more) * (Reduction % /100)] (ii)Original rate (or) previous rate = [(Amount/Quantity more) * (Reduction % /100-reduction%)] 17. (i)Increased rate = [(Amount/Quantity less) * (increase % /100)] (ii)Original rate (or) previous rate = [(Amount/Quantity less) * (Increase % /100-increase%)] 18. If the numerator of fraction is increased by x% and its denominator is diminished by y% ,the value of the fraction is A/B.Then the original fraction is, (A/B) * [(100-y) / (100+x)]
