4/13/23, 11:15 AM Percentage - Aptitude MCQ Questions and Solutions with Explanations Page-3 section-1

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Net percentage increase in Population = (2.5 - 0.5) = 2% each year.
Let the Original Population of the town be 100.
Population of Town after 1 year = (100 + 2% of 100) = 102.
Population of the town after 2nd year = (102 + 2% of 102 ) = 104.04
4.04
Now, % increase in population = × 100 = 4.04%
100

30% of his income he spent on education i.e. Rs. 30
Remaining = 100 - 30 = 70

70 × 50
50% of remaining on food = = Rs. 35
100
Now, that 35 must be equal to his saving and rent i.e.
35 = 2800 then,
2800
1=
35
2800 × 100
100 = = Rs. 8000
35
So, his income = Rs. 8000
