Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: D

Required percentage=(600-480)/480*100=25% more

2) Answer: A

Required ratio=600:420=10:7

3) Answer: C

The number of burgers sold in shop T=140

The number of burgers sold in shop U=350-140=210

The number of sandwiches sold in shop T=260

The number of sandwiches sold in shop U=410-260=150

Required average=(210+150)/2=360/2=180

4) Answer: D

The number of burgers and sandwiches sold in shop P=800

The number of pizzas sold in shop P=400*3-800=400

The number of pizzas in shop P=400*4/3=1600/3

Required total=(1600/3)*3/8=200

5) Answer: D

The number of burgers and sandwiches sold in shop S=1000

The number of sandwiches sold in shop S=550+260=810

Required difference=1000-810=190

6) Answer: D

Wages for men = 3/5 * 2500 = 1500

Wages for women = 2/5 * 2500 = 1000

Required difference = 1500 * 36 – 1000 * 40 = 14000

7) Answer: D

Required total = 3/4 * (2500 + 3800 + 2800 + 2700 + 3000) = 11100

8) Answer: B

Required total = 40/100 * 3000 + 25/100 * 2800

= 1900

9) Answer: E

Required average = (2500 + 3800 + 2800 + 2700 + 3000)/5

= 2960

10) Answer: C

The original wage of men = x

x * 125/100 = 1500

x = 1200

Women wage = 2500 – 1200 = 1300
