Aptitude - Percentage - Discussion

Why we need to divide 50/110?

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

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

Therefore %= 50/110* 100 = 45.454545

In what ratio should wheat at Rs. 4.5 per kg be mixed with another variety at Rs. 5.25 per kg so that the mixture be worth of Rs. 5 per kg?

a. 1:2
b. 2:1
c. 1:3
d. 3:1.

Please anybody tel the answer with explanation.

3*4+8*6=60.

So answer will be (C).

Total scored = 110
runs made by boundary and six = 3*4+8*6
=60
then run scored by running b\w the wicket =110-60
=50
.)lets take an eg. to convert any integral or fractional value into percentage

as we know 1/100 = %
so
x/100 = x%

eg. 1/2 = {(1/2)*100}/100 = 50%

similarly 1/3=33.33%

.)5/6 = 1/2+1/3 = 50%+33.33% = 83.33%

.)3/8 = 12.5*3 = 37.5% (1/8=12.5%)

now carefully read the last line of Que. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?

so % required = {(50/110)*100}/100 = 45.45%

Let given that 110
4*3=12
6*8=48
12+48=60
110-60=50
(50/110)*100%
=45*5/11%

Thanks aprana your answer is very clear.

Is it just me or is this question impossible for those who have no knowledge on cricket terminology? i.e., 1 boundary means a score of 4?

Can any one explain me that how to convert decimal to fraction.

What is the quantity A and Quantity B. How to compare?
