If one needs to score 34% to pass a test, the pass marks out of 40 would be:

 

If the price is reduced by 15 %, then the new price will be 0.85D

If this new price is further reduced by 10%, the discounted price will be 0.9 x 0.85D = 0.765D

20 large cakes will require the equivalent of 10 helpers working for one hour. 700 small cakes will require the equivalent of 20 helpers working for one hour. This means if only one hour were available we would need 30 helpers. But since three hours are available we can use 10 helpers.

Let the number of candidates appeared from each state be x.

In state A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates

In state B, 7% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates

But in State B, 80 more candidates got selected than State A

From these, it is clear that 1% of the total appeared candidates in State B = 80

=> total appeared candidates in State B = 80 x 100 = 8000

=> total appeared candidates in State A = total appeared candidates in State B = 8000

Total number of votes = 7500 

Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid

 => Valid votes = 80%

 Total valid votes = 7500*(80/100) 

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes. 

Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes 

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100) 

7500*(80/100)*(45/100) = 2700

Population afer 3 years = 64000 * (1 +  5/(2 *100) )^3 = (64000 * 41/40 * 41/40 * 41/40 ) = 68921..

Let the original price be Rs. 100.

New final price  = 120 %  of (75 % of Rs. 100) = Rs. [(120/100) * (75/100) * 100] = Rs. 90.

Decrease = 10%

Number of runs made by running = 120 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6) = 120 - (60) = 60 

Required percentage = [(60/120)*100] % = 50%

Let the total original sale be Rs. 100. Then, original number of visitors = 100.

New number of visitors  =  120/0.75 = 160.

Increase % = 60 %.
