| List-I | List-II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (% of amount) | (correct value) | ||

| (B) | 40% of 265 | (II) | 3825 |
| (C) | 35% of 180 | (III) | 131.1 |
| (D) | 46% of 285 | (IV) | 63 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
\(x\%\) of a number is the number multiplied by \(\frac{x}{100}\).
(A) 125% of 3060 — this matches (II) 3825. 125% is 1.25 times the number: \(3060\times1.25=3825\).
(B) 40% of 265 — this matches (I) 106. \(265\times0.4=106\).
(C) 35% of 180 — this matches (IV) 63. \(180\times0.35=63\).
(D) 46% of 285 — this matches (III) 131.1. \(285\times0.46=131.1\).
Shortcut:
(A) is more than 100% of 3060, so it must be the only value above 3060, 3825; every option gives (A) – (II) except Option (4)
(B) 40% of 265 is a little over \(0.4\times250=100\), so it is 106, which leaves Options (2) and (3)
(C) 35% of 180 is less than half of 180, so it is 63, not 131.1: Option (2)
