Set-57
Study the following information carefully and give the answer of the following questions.
A school has 400 students- boys and girls, who are in the ratio of 3:5. The students speak Hindi, English or both the Languages. 12% of the boys speak only Hindi, 22% of the girls speak only English, 24% of the total students speak only Hindi and the number of boys speaking both the Languages is six times the number of boys speaking only Hindi.
1. How many boys speak Hindi?

Ans:3
Total Number of students = 400
Ratio of boys and girls; B: G = 3: 5
Number of boys = 400 * 3/8 = 150
Number of girls = 400 * 5/8 = 250
Total number of students who speak only Hindi (400) -> 24% of 400 = 96
Number of Boys (150):
Only Hindi ->12% of 150 = 18
Only English -> 150 – 18 – 108 = 24
Both -> 6 * 18 =108
Number of Girls (250):
Only Hindi->96 – 18 = 78
Only English ->22% of 250 = 55
Both->250 – 78 – 55 = 117
Number of boys who speak only Hindi = 18
Number of boys who speak Hindi + English = 108
18 + 108 = 126
Therefore, the numbers of boys who speak Hindi are 126

 

2. How many girls speak only Hindi?

Ans:2
Total Number of students = 400
Ratio of boys and girls; B: G = 3: 5
Number of boys = 400 * 3/8 = 150
Number of girls = 400 * 5/8 = 250
Total number of students who speak only Hindi (400) -> 24% of 400 = 96
Number of Boys (150):
Only Hindi ->12% of 150 = 18
Only English -> 150 – 18 – 108 = 24
Both -> 6 * 18 =108
Number of Girls (250):
Only Hindi->96 – 18 = 78
Only English ->22% of 250 = 55
Both->250 – 78 – 55 = 117
From the table above, we get to know that number of girls who speak only Hindi are 78.
Therefore, the numbers of girls who speak ONLY Hindi are 78.

 

3. How many students speak English?

Ans:2
Total Number of students = 400
Ratio of boys and girls; B: G = 3: 5
Number of boys = 400 * 3/8 = 150
Number of girls = 400 * 5/8 = 250
Total number of students who speak only Hindi (400) -> 24% of 400 = 96
Number of Boys (150):
Only Hindi ->12% of 150 = 18
Only English -> 150 – 18 – 108 = 24
Both -> 6 * 18 =108
Number of Girls (250):
Only Hindi->96 – 18 = 78
Only English ->22% of 250 = 55
Both->250 – 78 – 55 = 117
Total number of students – Number of students who speak only Hindi
400 – 96 = 304
Therefore, the numbers of students who speak English are 304.

 

4. The number of girls speaking only Hindi is what percent of the total number of students speaking only Hindi?

Ans:2
Total Number of students = 400
Ratio of boys and girls; B: G = 3: 5
Number of boys = 400 * 3/8 = 150
Number of girls = 400 * 5/8 = 250
Total number of students who speak only Hindi (400) -> 24% of 400 = 96
Number of Boys (150):
Only Hindi ->12% of 150 = 18
Only English -> 150 – 18 – 108 = 24
Both -> 6 * 18 =108
Number of Girls (250):
Only Hindi->96 – 18 = 78
Only English ->22% of 250 = 55
Both->250 – 78 – 55 = 117
Number of girls who speak Hindi – 78 [x]
Total number of students who speak only Hindi – 96 [y]
As we need to find the percentage change we know that
x/y * 100
78/96 * 100
81.25%
Therefore, 81.25% is the percentage change.

 

5. What is the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls speaking both the languages?

Ans:1
Total Number of students = 400
Ratio of boys and girls; B: G = 3: 5
Number of boys = 400 * 3/8 = 150
Number of girls = 400 * 5/8 = 250
Total number of students who speak only Hindi (400) -> 24% of 400 = 96
Number of Boys (150):
Only Hindi ->12% of 150 = 18
Only English -> 150 – 18 – 108 = 24
Both -> 6 * 18 =108
Number of Girls (250):
Only Hindi->96 – 18 = 78
Only English ->22% of 250 = 55
Both->250 – 78 – 55 = 117
Number of boys speaking both the languages = 108
Number of Girls speaking both the languages = 117
The ratio of the number of boys who speak both the languages: Number of girls who speak both languages
= 108: 117
By further simplification we get,
12:13
Therefore, the ratio of boys is to girls who speak both the languages are 12:13.

 

Set-58
Study the following information and give the answer of the following questions.

6. What is the number of employees in Account Department of offices TCS and HCL?

Ans:2
In TCS = 18 * 3/2 = 27
In HCL = 32 * 7/8 = 28
Required total = 27+28 = 55

 

7. What is the number of employees in Other Departments of offices HCL and Wipro?

Ans:3
In HCL = 32 * 7/8 = 28
In HCL, in Account = 28, so in Others = 250 – (32+28) = 190
In Wipro, in Account = 48 * 11/6 = 88, so in Others= 360 -(48+88) = 224
Required total = 190 + 224 = 414

 

8. In Office L&T, 25%, 20% and 50% people in HR, Account and Others Department respectively are females. What is the number of males in these departments in office L&T?

Ans:4
In L&T, in HR = 16, so males = 75/100 * 16 = 12
In L&T, in Account = 16 * 5/8 = 10, so males = 80/100 * 10 = 8
In L&T, in others = 280 – (16+10) = 254, so males = 50/100 * 254 = 127
Required number = 12+8+127 = 147

 

9. What is the ratio of number of employees in Other Departments in offices TCS and HCL?

Ans:5
In TCS = 18 * 3/2 = 27
In TCS, in others = 270 – (18+27) = 225
In HCL = 32 * 7/8 = 28
In HCL, in others = 250 – (32+28) = 190
Required ratio = 225: 190 = 45: 38

 

10. What is the total number of employees in Account Department in all offices?

Ans:2
In TCS = 18 * 3/2 = 27
