Latest Percentage MCQ Objective Questions
Percentage Question 1:
\(22\frac{1}{2}\%\) of 400 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
Percentage = 221⁄2%
Number = 400
Formula used:
Percentage of a number = (Percentage × Number) ÷ 100
Calculation:
221⁄2% = 45⁄2 %
⇒ (45/2 × 400) ÷ 100
⇒ (18000 / 2) ÷ 100 = 9000 /100 = 90
∴ Final Answer = 90
Percentage Question 2:
20% of \(\frac{1}{3}=\)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
20% of (1)/(3) = ?
Formula Used:
20% of a number = (20 / 100) × number
Calculation:
20% of (1)/(3) = (20 / 100) × (1)/(3)
⇒ 20 × (1)/(3) / 100
⇒ (20 × 1) / (3 × 100)
⇒ 20 / 300
⇒ 1 / 15
Percentage Question 3:
45% of 450 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
45% of 450
Formula used:
Percentage of a number = (Percentage × Number) / 100
Calculation:
45% of 450 = (45 × 450) / 100
⇒ (45 × 450) / 100
⇒ 202.5
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
Percentage Question 4:
If two-third of a number is 48, then 30% of the number is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Two-third of a number = 48
Calculations:
Let the number be x. Then,
\(\dfrac{2}{3}x = 48\)
⇒ \(x = 48 \times \dfrac{3}{2}\)
⇒ x = 72
30% of x = \(\dfrac{30}{100} \times 72\)
⇒ \(\dfrac{30 \times 72}{100} = 21.6\)
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
Percentage Question 5:
What is 15% of 40% of 45% of 60% of 45000?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
15% of 40% of 45% of 60% of 45000?
Calculation:
45000 × (60 ÷ 100) × (45 ÷ 100) × (40 ÷ 100) × (15 ÷ 100)
⇒ Result = 45000 × 0.6 × 0.45 × 0.4 × 0.15
⇒ 45000 × 0.6 × 0.45 × 0.4 × 0.15
⇒ 729
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
Top Percentage MCQ Objective Questions
If P is 40% less than Q, then Q is how much percentage more than P?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
P is 40% less than Q.
Shortcut Trick
40% = 2/5
So, Q is 2/(5-2) × 100 = 2/3 × 100 = 66.66% more than P.
∴ Q is 66.66% more than P.
Calculation:
Let, Q = 100y
So, P = 100y × (100 - 40)/100 = 100y × 60/100 = 60y
Now,
(Q – P)/P × 100 = 40y/60y × 100 = 66.66%
∴ Q is 66.66% more than P.
Additional Information
If A is 20% less than B,
So,
B is 20/(100 - 20) × 100 = 20/80 × 100 = 25% more than A
Similarly,
If B is 25% more than A,
So,
A is 25/(100 + 25) × 100 = 25/125 × 100 = 20% less than B.
If 200% of k - (k + 2)% of 50 = k, then what is the value of k?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
200% of k - (k + 2)% of 50 = k
Formula used:
A% of B = (A/100) × B
Calculation:
⇒ 200% of k - (k + 2)% of 50 = k
⇒ (200/100) × k - (k + 2)/100 × 50 = k
⇒ 2k - 0.5(k + 2) = k
⇒ 2k - 0.5k - 1 = k
⇒ 1.5k - 1 = k
⇒ 1.5k - k = 1
⇒ 0.5k = 1
⇒ k = 1/0.5 = 2
The price of sugar is decreased by 25% and due to this, a family purchase 12 kg more sugar than earlier and the expenditure decreases by 7%. Find the increased consumption.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSuppose the initial price = Rs. x per kg
Suppose the family spends Rs. 100 initially and this comes down to Rs. 93;
∴ [93/0.75x] – [100/x] = 12
⇒ 124/x – 100/x = 12
⇒ 24/x = 12
⇒ x = 2
∴ Increased consumption = 100/2 + 12 = 62 kg(120% of 675) + 92 = (? % of 1240) + 716
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 9 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula Used:
X% = X/100
Calculation:
(120% of 675) + 92 = (? % of 1240) + 716
⇒ \(\frac{120}{100} \)× 675 + 92 = \(\frac{?}{100} \)× 1240 + 716
⇒ 810 + 92 = 12.4 × ? + 716
⇒ 902 - 716 = 12.4 × ?
⇒ 186/12.4 = ? = 15
∴ The correct answer is 15
(980 of 12%) - (450 of ? %)= 227 of 30%
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 10 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula Used:
X% = X/100
Calculation:
⇒ 980 of 12% = \(\frac{980\times12 }{100}=117.6\)
⇒ 227 of 30% = \(\frac{227\times30 }{100}=68.1\)
⇒ 117.6 - \(\frac{450\times? }{100}\)= 68.1
⇒ 117.6 - 68.1 = \(\frac{450\times? }{100}\)
⇒ \(\frac{49.5\times100 }{450}\) = ? = 11
∴ The correct answer is 11.
What will be the value of 75% of 480 + 48% of 750?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 11 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSolution:
75% of 480 + 48% of 750
⇒ (75/100) × 480 + (48/100) × 750
⇒ (3/4) × 480 + (12/25) × 750
⇒ 3 × 120 + 12 × 30
⇒ 360 + 360
⇒ 720
If 80% of A = 50% of B and B = x% of A, then the value of x is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 12 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
80% of A = 50% of B and B = x% of A
Calculation:
80% of A = 50% of B.
⇒ \(\dfrac{80}{100}\) A = \(\dfrac{50}{100}\) B
⇒ 8A = 5B
⇒ \(\dfrac{A}{B} = \dfrac{5}{8} \)
∴ B = \(\dfrac{8}{5} \times 100\) = 160
So, the value of x is 160.
If 20% of (x + y) = 25% of (x - y), then what percent of y is equal to x?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Percentage Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
20% of (x + y) = 25% of (x - y)
Formula used:
Percentage = (Obtained value/Total value) × 100
Calculation:
20% of (x + y) = 25% of (x - y)
⇒ 20(x + y) = 25(x - y)
⇒ 20x + 20y = 25x - 25y
⇒ 20y + 25y = 25x - 20x
⇒ 45y = 5x
⇒ x = 9y
Now, Percentage = (Obtained value/Total value) × 100
⇒ (x/y) × 100
⇒ (9y/y) × 100
⇒ 900%
