SSC GD Const (English) - 29 Feb 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q43

What should be added to 95 percent of 480 so that the obtained number becomes equal to 70 percent of 810?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 111.

Let the number added be x

95% of 480 + x = 70% of 810

⇒ 95/100 × 480 + x = 70/100 × 810

⇒ 456 + x = 567

⇒ x = 567 - 456 

⇒ x = 111
