Percentage problems tricks(SSC,BANK,PO)

Percentage is a fraction whose denominator is always 100. x percentage is represented by x%. To express x% as a fraction :  We know x% =  x /100 Thus 10% =  10 /100 (means 10 parts out of 100 parts) =  1 /10 (means 1 part out of 10 parts) To express x/y as a percentage : We know that  x /y  = ( x /y× 100 ) Thus  1 /4 = (  1 /4 ×100 )% = 25% and 0.8 = (  8 /10 ×100 )% = 80% If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then reduction in consumption as not to increase the expenditure is- [  R / (100+R) ×100 ] % If the price of a commodity decreases by R%, then the increase in consumption as not to decrease the expenditure is - [  R / (100-R) ×100 ] % Result on Population :  Let the population of a town be P now and suppose increases the rate of R% per annum, then : Population after n years = P ( 1+  R /100 ) n   Population  n years ago =  P  / ( 1+  R /100 ) n  ...

Time and Work short tricks (part-2)

Example - 1 राम और श्‍याम किसी काम को क्रमश: 10 दिनों तथा 20 दिनों समाप्‍त करते हैंं उन्‍होने 5 दिनों तक काम किया उसके बाद A काम करना छोड दिया B शेष काम को कितने दिनों में समाप्‍त करेगा हल - Example - 2 राम, श्‍याम और मोहन किसी काम को 10 दिनों, 15 दिनों तथा 12 दिनों में समाप्‍त करते हैं तीनों साथ-साथ काम करना आरम्‍भ करते हैं लेकिन राम कर शुरू होने के 1 दिन वाद काम करना छोड देता हैै काम समाप्‍त होने में कुल कितना समय लगेेगा हल - Example - 3 राम किसी काम को 15 दिनों में जबकि श्‍याम उसी काम को 24 दिनों में त‍था रमेेश उसी काम को 20 दिनाें में कर सकता हैै तीनों साथ मिलकर काम शुरू करतेे है लेकिन राम का शुरू होने के 3 दिन बाद तथा श्‍याम काम शुरू होने के 4 दिन बाद काम छोड देतेे हैं पूरे काम को समाप्‍त होने में कुल कितना समय लेगेगा हल - Example - 4 राम किसी काम को 20 दिनों में कर सकता है और मोहन किसी काम को 30 दिनों में कर सकता है दोनों सााथ-साथ काम करना आरम्‍भ करते हैंं पर काम समाप्‍त होने के 5 दिन पहले राम कम करना छोड देता है तो काम समाप्‍त होने में कितना समय लगेगा ...
