only trick n this question is to ignore 50 % information as farm tax is levied uniformly in the village and that includes mr william ' s land . what percentage of tax mr william paid ? this will be equal to the percentage of total cultivated land he holds over the total cultivated land in the village . that leads to ( 480 / 3840 ) x 100 = 12.5 % in percentage terms . but the question asks ratio between his total land to total cultivated land . hence the answer is 12.5 % x ( 100 / 50 ) = 25 % and the answer is not there in the options . the correct answer is ( b ) .

how many even 4 - digit numbers can be formed , so that the numbers are divisible by 4 and no two digits are repeated ?

one fourth of a solution that was 10 % sugar by weight was replaced by a second solution resulting in a solution that was 14 percent sugar by weight . the second solution was what percent sugar by weight ?
say the second solution ( which was 1 / 4 th of total ) was x % sugar , then 3 / 4 * 0.1 + 1 / 4 * x = 1 * 0.14 - - > x = 0.26 . alternately you can consider total solution to be 100 liters and in this case you ' ll have : 75 * 0.1 + 25 * x = 100 * 0.14 - - > x = 0.26 . answer : e .

a = 1 / 24 b = 12 * a c = 1 - b d = 1 / 36 e = c / d

a ( 4 , w ^ 2 ) is the ( x , y ) coordinate of point located on the parabola y = x ^ 2 + 9 . what is the value of w ?
"y = x ^ 2 + 9 w ^ 2 = 4 ^ 2 + 9 w ^ 2 = 25 w = 5 answer c"
a = 4 ** 2 b = a - 9 c = 9 / 4 d = b ** c

two cars started at the same time , from the same point , driving along the same road . the rate of the first car is 50 mph and the rate of the second car is 60 mph . how long will it take for the distance between the two cars to be 30 miles ?
car 1 50 50 50 total = 150 car 2 60 60 60 total = 180 differece = 30 miles after 3 hrs . answer : c
a = 60 - 50 b = 30 / a
a ) 65 , b ) 80 , c ) 85 , d ) 82 , e ) 89

divide(add(240, 650), speed(240, 24))
a train 240 m long passes a pole in 24 seconds . how long will it take to pass a platform 650 m long ?
speed = ( 240 / 24 ) m / sec = 10 m / sec . therefore , required time = ( 240 + 650 ) / 10 sec = 89 sec . answer is e .
a = 240 + 650 b = a / speed
a ) 40 % , b ) 45 % , c ) 50 % , d ) 60 % , e ) 55 %

a feed store sells two varieties of birdseed : brand a , which is 40 % millet and 60 % sunflower , and brand b , which is 65 % millet and 35 % safflower . if a customer purchases a mix of the two types of birdseed that is 50 % millet , what percent of the mix is brand a ?
"another method to solve this question using equations : 1 kg of brand a will have 400 g millet and 600 g sunflower . 1 kg of brand b will gave 650 g millet and 350 g sunflower . suppose , x kg of brand a and y kg of brand b are in the mixture . then total weight of millet = 400 x + 650 y g total weight of mixture = 1000 x + 1000 y g given that millet is 500 % hence ( 400 x + 650 y ) / ( 1000 x + 1000 y ) = 1 / 2 or , 800 x + 1300 y = 1000 x + 1000 y or 300 y = 200 x or , x / y = 3 / 2 % of brand a = ( 3 / ( 3 + 2 ) ) * 100 = 60 % hence answer is d"
a = 3 + 2 b = 3 / a c = b * 100
