SSC CHSL - 6 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q79

Sunita appeared for a test consisting of 260 questions and answered 40% of the first 130 questions correctly. What percentage of the rest 130 questions must she answer correctly so as to score 60% in the entire test?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 80%.

Understanding

Total number of questions = 260

Number of questions answered correctly from 40% of the first 130 questions = 40/100 × 130 = 52

To score 60% in the test number of questions needed to be answered correctly = 60/100 × 260 = 156

Number of questions that are to be needed more  = 156 - 52 =  104

% of questions = 104/130 × 100 = 80%

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
