    Question

    If 40% of 'P' is 60 less than 30% of 'Q', then find 250%

    of 'Q', given that (P + Q) = 900.
    A 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; 0.4P + 60 = 0.3Q Or, 60 = 0.3Q - 0.4P........ (I) Also, P + Q = 900 Or, P = 900 - Q...... (II) Using equation (I) and (II), we have; 60 = 0.3Q - 0.4(900 - Q) Or, 60 = 0.3Q - 360 + 0.4Q Or, 420 = 0.7Q So, Q = 600 So, required value = 600 x 2.5 = 1500
