    A. 24.76% B. 24.72% C. 25.76% D. 25.72% E. None of these

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
→ No. of illiterate female from village B = 60 % (700) = 420
→ No. of illiterate from village B = [latex](\frac {9}{20}) \times 2000 = 900[/latex]
Therefore,
→ No. of illiterate male from village B = 900 - 420 = 480
→ No. of male from village B = 65 %( 2000) = 1300
→ % of male, who is illiterate from village B = [latex](\frac {480}{1300}) \times 100 [/latex] = 36.9 ≈ 37
2. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
→ No. of Literate from village A = [latex](\frac {2}{5}) \times 750[/latex] = 300
→ No. of Literate from village B = [latex](\frac {11}{20}) \times[/latex] 2000 = 1100
→ No. of Literate from village C = [latex](\frac {13}{1}) \times[/latex] 1500 = 1300
→ No. of Literate from village D = [latex](\frac {4}{5}) \times[/latex] 2750 = 2200
→ No. of Literate from village E = [latex](\frac {1}{4}) \times[/latex] 2500 = 625
→ No. of Literate from village F = [latex](\frac {11}{30}) \times[/latex] 3000 = 1100
→ Total no. of literate in all villages= 300 + 1100 + 1300 + 2200 + 625 + 1100 = 6,625
→ Total no. of people in all villages= 750 + 2000 + 1500 + 2750 + 2500 + 1100 = 12,500
→ % of literate people in all villages = [latex](\frac {6625}{12500}) \times[/latex] 100 = 53 %
3. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
→ Illiterate from village B = 2000 - 1100 = 900
→ Illiterate from village C = 1500 - 1300 = 200
→ Illiterate from village D = 2750 - 2200 = 550
→ Female from village A = 48% (750) = 360
→ Female from village E = 61% (2500) = 1525
→ Female from village F = 25% (3000) = 750
→ Ratio = (900 + 200 + 550) : (360 + 1525 + 750) = 1650 : 2635 = 330 : 527 (ans)
4. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
→ Since we don’t have enough data for village F
→ We cannot determine the answer
5. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
→ Female from village A = 360
→ Female from village C = 825
→ Total = 1185
→ Female from village D = 825
→ Female from village F= 750
→ Total= 1575
→ Less% = [latex][\frac {(1575 – 1185)} {1575}] \times 100 = (\frac {390}{1575}) \times 100 = 24.76[/latex] %

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option
Explanation -
Average expenses of P
= (10% Of [latex]\frac {96}{360}[/latex] + 30 % of [latex]\frac {129}{360}[/latex] + 10% of [latex]\frac {36}{360}[/latex] + 40% of [latex]\frac {51}{360}[/latex] + 20% of [latex]\frac {48}{360}[/latex]) [latex]\times \frac {120000}{5}[/latex]
= [latex]\frac {960 + 3870 + 360 + 2040 + 960}{3600 } \times \frac {120000}{5}[/latex]
= Rs. 5460
2. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
Amount spent by Rahul on Entertainment
[latex]\frac {20}{100} \times \frac {36}{360} \times 120000 = Rs 2400[/latex]
Amount spent by Preeti on Entertainment
[latex]\frac {15}{100} \times \frac {36}{360} \times 120000 = Rs 1800[/latex]
∴ Required percentage increase
[latex]\frac {2400 - 1800}{1800} \times 100 = 33[/latex]%
3. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
Average expenses of Rohit
= [latex](25% Of [latex]\frac {96}{360}[/latex] + 15 % of [latex]\frac {129}{360}[/latex] + 25% of [latex]\frac {36}{360}[/latex] + 10% of [latex]\frac {51}{360}[/latex] + 10% of [latex]\frac {48}{360}[/latex]) [latex]\times[/latex] 120000
= [latex]\frac {2400 + 1935 + 900 + 510 + 480}{36000 } \times \frac {120000}{5}[/latex]
= Rs 4150
Average expenses of W (wife)
= [latex](15% 0f \frac {96}{360} + 25 % of \frac {129}{360} + 30% of \frac {36}{360} + 10% of \frac {51}{360} + 25% of \frac {48}{360}) \times \frac {120000}{5}[/latex]
= [latex]\frac {1440 + 3225 + 1080 + 510 + 1200}{36000} \times \frac {120000}{5}[/latex]
= Rs 4970
∴ Required percentage
= [latex]\frac {4150}{4970} \times 100 = 83.5[/latex]%
4. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
Required difference
= ((10 + 15) of [latex]\frac {96}{360}[/latex] - (30 + 10)% of [latex]\frac {36}{360}[/latex]) [latex]\times \frac {120000}{2}[/latex]
= [latex]\frac {2400 - 1440}{36000} \times \frac {120000}{5} = Rs.1600[/latex]
∴ Required percentage
= [latex]\frac {1600}{120000} \times 100 = 1.3[/latex]%
5. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Required percentage
[latex]\frac {20 \times 129 + 25 \times 51}{960 + 1290} \times 100[/latex]
[latex]\frac {2580 + 1275}{960 + 1290} \times 100 = \frac {3855}{2250} \times 100 = 171[/latex]%
