Match List-I with List-II
| List-I (% of amount) | List-II (correct value) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | 12 % of 874 | (I) | 42.56 |
| (B) | 8 % of 532 | (II) | 104.88 |
| (C) | 5.5 % of 356 | (III) | 2.69 |
| (D) | 3.4 % of 79 | (IV) | 19.58 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
To find \(r\%\) of a number, multiply the number by \(r\) and divide by 100.
(A) \(\displaystyle\frac{12\times874}{100}=104.88\), which is (II)
(B) \(\displaystyle\frac{8\times532}{100}=42.56\), which is (I)
(C) \(\displaystyle\frac{5.5\times356}{100}=19.58\), which is (IV)
(D) \(\displaystyle\frac{3.4\times79}{100}=2.686\approx2.69\), which is (III)
Shortcut:
(A) is the only large percentage of a large number, so it must be the largest value, 104.88; only Option (3) gives (A) – (II)
