   Option B
   Solution:
   In section B, Arts = 3/10 * 20/100 * 1200
   In section C, Arts = 2/5 * 25/100 * 1200
   Solve, total = 192
   In section C, commerce = 3/5 * 25/100 * 1200
   In section D, commerce = 1/5 * 10/100 * 1200
   Solve, total = 204
   So required % = (204-192)/204 * 100 = 6%
3. If 25% of students who will opt for Arts in sections A and E gets shifted to Commerce, then what will be the total number of students who will opt for Commerce from these 2 sections?
   A) 448
   B) 506
   C) 685
   D) 443
   E) 432
   
   View Answer

   Option E
   Solution:
   Arts in sections A and E = 1/6 * 30/100 * 1200 + 7/15 * 15/100 * 1200 = 60 + 84 = 144
   Now 25% of this gets shifted so 25% of 144 = 36
   Students in A + E = 45/100 * 1200 = 540
   So Commerce opting = 540 – 144 = 396
   And now after shift = 396 + 36 = 432
4. What is the ratio of students who want to opt for Commerce in sections A and D to students who want to opt for Arts in sections B and C?
   A) 42 : 31
   B) 33 : 15
   C) 27 : 16
   D) 17 : 23
   E) 29 : 15

   Option C
   Solution:
   Commerce in sections A and D = 5/6 * 30/100 * 1200 + 1/5 * 10/100 * 1200 = 324
   Arts in sections B and C = 3/10 * 20/100 * 1200 + 2/5 * 25/100 * 1200 = 192
   324 : 192
5. The number of students who want to opt for Commerce in section E forms what approximate percent of the number of students who want to opt for Arts in sections A and B?
   A) 76%
   B) 80%
   C) 65%
   D) 73%
   E) None of these
   
   View Answer

   Option D
   Solution:
   Commerce in section E = 8/15 * 15/100 * 1200 = 96
   Arts in sections A and B = 1/6 * 30/100 * 1200 + 3/10 * 20/100 * 1200 = 132
   So required % = 96/132 * 100

   Option A
   Solution:
   Section A, class 1 = 250
   Total in class 1 = 250+150+200 = 600
   So required % = 250/600 * 100 = 41.67%
10. Total number of students in class 2 is how much % less than in classes 4 and 5 together?
    A) 24.62%

    View Answer

    Option A
    Solution:
    Class 2 = 450+425+350 = 1225
    Class 4 + 5 = 300+200+175 + 300+325+325 = 1625
    So required % = (1625-1225)/1625 * 100 = 24.62%
