2. Rahul's Mathematics test had 75 problems, 10 arithmetic, 30 algebra, 35 geometry problems. Although he answered 70% of arithmetic, 40% of arithmetic and 60% of geometry problems correctly, still he got less than 60% problems right. How many more questions he would have to answer more to get passed

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Number of questions attempted correctly = (70% of 10 + 40% of 30 + 60% of 35)
= 7 + 12 + 21 = 40.

Questions to be answered correctly for 60% = 60% of total quations

Rs. 9.36
Rs. 10.36
Rs. 11.36
Rs. 12.36

Answer: Option A

Then increased price will be,

$\begin{aligned} \left(\frac{130}{100}x\right) \\ => \frac{7.80}{x}-\frac{7.80}{\frac{130}{100}x} = 3\\ => \frac{7.80}{x}-\frac{780}{130x} = 3 \\ => 390x = 234 \\ => x = 0.6 \\ \text{Actual price was Rs 0.6} \\ \text{Present price per dozen will be} \\ Rs.\left(12*\frac{130}{100}*0.6 \right) \\ = Rs. 9.36 \end{aligned}$
