1. 

A batsman scored 110 runs which included 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?

[A]. 45%[B].
45 5 %
11
[C].
54 6 %
11
[D]. 55%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Number of runs made by running = 110 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6)

= 110 - (60)

= 50.

Required percentage = 50 x 100 % = 45 5 %
110 11

110 - (3 * 4 + 8 * 6)/110 * 100 = 500/11.

How 45 came?

Why we have to divide by 110 & multiply by 100?

Aparna said: (Mon, Dec 27, 2010 08:22:28 AM)    
 
Just we have used the formula.

50 runs are scored by running out of total score 110.

And as we have asked the ans. Should be in percentage.

Any quantity when multiplied by 100, we get the value in percentage.

How 45 came can you pls explain ?

Vicky said: (Wed, Jan 26, 2011 03:19:31 PM)    
 
(50*100)/110=500/11 are you agree with this, then

45*11=495 where 11 is denominator then by adding 5 to 495 we will get 500, then keep the denominator same.

@seshadri,
remember one thing
any fraction can be written in the following format

quotient *(remainder/divisor)

we get fraction as
500/11

just convert it into above format
thats it

Hai I can't understand this problem.

Vidyasagar said: (Mon, Mar 7, 2011 12:12:42 AM)    
 
As 2*1/2 =5/2

Similarly 500/11=45* 5/11 that is

( (45*11)+5)/11

@VICKY HOW 4*1 PLZ EXPLAIN....

Just 50/100 is not correct?

Vivek said: (Sat, Apr 16, 2011 12:15:47 AM)    
 
When we divide 500 by 11 then we get 45 as answer and 5 as remainder so B is the answer.

I really clear and thx Aparna

Runs=110;
fours=4*3=12;,sixes=8*6=48;
total=48+12=60;
110-60=50;
100=110
?=50;
45.51..

Why we need to divide 50/110?

Nagendra said: (Wed, Jun 29, 2011 02:11:19 AM)    
 
In order to find the percentage of runs scored by running the wickets.

see the total runs scored by the batsman is 110.
runs scored by fours and sixes is 4*3+6*8=60

then runs scored by running b/w wickets = 50(total runs(110) - runs scored by fours and sixes(60))

for 110 runs if he scored 50 runs by running b/w wickets
then for 100 how much

this can written in the ratio form as 110:100::50:X
then x=(100*50)/110
solving we get the answer as 500/11
converting in mixed fraction we 45*5/11.

i hope u understood.. have a nice day.

3*4=12,
8*6= 48
48+12=60

Total run b/w the wickets 110 - 60=50

Therefore %= 50/110* 100 = 45.454545

3*4+8*6=60.

So answer will be (C).

An important interview question:

Question: 75% of a number when added to 75 becomes the number itself. The number is ?

Solution:

Let the required number be x.

x = 75% of x + 75

x = 75/100x + 75

1x = 0.75x + 75

1x - 0.75x = 75

0.25x = 75

x = 75/0.25

x = 7500/25

x = 300.

Verification:

75% of 300 = 275
Now 755 + 75 = 300

Hence 300 is the required answer.
