Find Percentage
Q / āĻĒā§ā§°āĻļā§āύ: If 36% of x = 81% of y, find the value of x : y. āϝāĻĻāĻŋ xā§° 36% = yā§° 81% āĻšā§, āϤā§āύā§āϤ⧠x : y āĻāĻŋāĻŽāĻžāύ?
Soln / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ:
36% of x = 81% of y, xā§° 36% = yā§° 81%
36/100 x = 81 / 100 y, Cancel 100 on both sides, āĻĻā§ā§ā§āĻĢāĻžāϞ⧰ āĻĒā§°āĻž 100 āĻāĻžāĻāĻŋāϞā§āĻ
36x = 81y , Divide both sides by 9, āĻĻā§ā§ā§āĻĢāĻžāϞ 9ā§°ā§ āĻāĻžāĻ āĻā§°ā§āĻ
4x = 9y
So, āϏā§ā§ā§,
x:y = 9:4
Ans / āϏāĻ āĻŋāĻ āĻāϤā§āϤ⧰: (B) 9 : 4
Q. If 12% of a = 25% of b, find the value of a : b. āϝāĻĻāĻŋ aā§° 12% = bā§° 25% āĻšā§, āϤā§āύā§āϤ⧠a : b āĻāĻŋāĻŽāĻžāύ ?
Soln / āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ:
12% of a = 25% of b, a ā§° 12% = bā§° 25%
12/100 a = 25/100 b, Cancel 100 on both sides. āĻĻā§ā§ā§āĻĢāĻžāϞ⧰ āĻĒā§°āĻž 100 āĻāĻžāĻāĻŋāϞā§āĻ
12a = 25b
So, āϏā§ā§ā§,
a:b = 25:12
Ans / āĻāϤā§āϤ⧰: (A) 25 : 12
Q1. In an examination, 34% of the students failed in Mathematics and 42% failed in English. If 20% of the students failed in both Mathematics and English, what percentage of students passed in both subjects ?
Options: A. 50% B. 44% C. 54% D. 56%
Soln:
- Let the total number of students = 100%
- Percentage of students who failed in at least one subject: 34% + 42% - 20% = 56%
- Percentage of students who passed in both subjects: 100% - 56% = 44%
Ans: 44%
Venn Diagram Idea (Concept)
Draw two circles : Left circle → Math fail (34%), Right circle → English fail (42%). Overlapping part → Both fail (20%)
Calculation: Only Math fail = 34 − 20 = 14%, Only English fail = 42 − 20 = 22%, At least one fail = 14 + 20 + 22 = 56%, So, Passed in both = 100 – 56 = 44%

Q2. In a test, 30% students fail in Math, 40% fail in English, and 10% fail in both. What percent pass in both subjects ?
A. 30% B. 40% C. 50% D. 60%
Soln: 100 − (30 + 40 − 10) = 50%
Ans: C. 50%
Q3. 25% fail in Science, 35% fail in Math, and 15% fail in both. What percent pass in both ?
A. 45% B. 55% C. 60% D. 65%
Soln: 100 − (25 + 35 - 15) = 55%
Ans: B. 55%
Q4. If 48% fail in Hindi, 52% fail in English, and 20% fail in both, then pass in both is:
A. 20% B. 32% C. 48% D. 20%
Soln: 100 - (48 + 52 - 20) = 32%
Ans: B. 32%
