Problems on Percentage (MCQs)


26. Jamila required Rs. 800 for paying her fees. She borrowed 20 % from her brother and 30 % of the remaining was given by her mother. In her bank she had Rs. 200. How much more money does she need (in Rs.)

(a) 150
(b) 235
(c) 248
(d) 425

Click for Answer/Explanation

Correct Answer is (c)

Amount Required = 800

Got from brother = 800 x 20/100 = 160

Got from mother = (800-160) * 30/100 = 640 * 30/100 = 192

Amount in Bank = Rs. 200

So, she needs 800 – (160 + 192 + 200) = 800 – 552 = Rs. 248 (Ans.)
