Aptitude - Percentage - Discussion

@Harish.

Really fantastic and simple explanation.

@Jay

1 : 2 is answer.

Why should we write 50/110 * 100?

As my knowledge to get a percentage of 50 in 110 we have to calculate as 50/100 * 110.

45 * (5/11)% = 45.45% then why option B and why not option A?

Total score 110.

3 boundaries = (3 * 4) =12.
8 sixes = 8 * 6 = 48.
12 + 48 = 60.

Remaining runs (110 - 60) scored by running.

So % is 50/110 * 100 = 500/11 = option b.

Thank you @Aparna.

How do we know about 4, when it is not in the problem?

Please, how did you get the 6 since it was not in the problem?

How do we know about 4, when it is not in the problem?

Let me explain.

Total runs made by him = 110 in which he made 3 boundaries and 8 sixes
So basically a boundary means 4, therefore 3 boundaries means 3 X 4 = 12.
And 8 sixes equals to 8 X 6 = 48.

Now adding boundary and sixes made by him,
Therefore 12 + 48 = 60.

So the score 60 was not made by runs.

So let us subtract the score 60 from the total score 110.
So that 110 - 60 = 50
50 is the score which is made by running between the wickets.

The solution is not yet completed, it's about to finish

We need to get a percentage of that runs made by him.

50/110 * 100 = 45 * 5/11 will be the answer.

Hope you understand.
