#### 2. Question
In a school 16(2/3)% students were interested in dance only, 33(1/3)% were interested in music only , 25% were interested in football and rest were interested in other activities. If number of who are interested in other activities is 900 then what is the number of students who are interested in dance.
Answer:(d) 600
Explanation:
Let the number of students in school is 100%
Number of students interested in other activities is
=100%-(50/3 + 100/3 + 25)%
This 25%=900
On solving we get 100%=900/25 *100=3600
Students were interested in dance only=3600/6 =600
Answer:(d) 600
Explanation:
Let the number of students in school is 100%
Number of students interested in other activities is
=100%-(50/3 + 100/3 + 25)%
This 25%=900
On solving we get 100%=900/25 *100=3600
Students were interested in dance only=3600/6 =600

Find increment in population of town P. a) 2000 b) 4000 c) 8000 d) 1000 Correct Answer: () Explanation: P:Q 8x:7x 7x=14000 ,x=2000 Population of the city P before increment=16000 Population of the city Q , after increment=140006/58/7=19200=Q after increment population ratio of P:Q=25:24 then we get population of the city P after increment=20000 then total increment of the city P= 20000-16000=4000 Incorrect Answer: () Explanation: P:Q 8x:7x 7x=14000 ,x=2000 Population of the city P before increment=16000 Population of the city Q , after increment=140006/58/7=19200=Q after increment population ratio of P:Q=25:24 then we get population of the city P after increment=20000 then total increment of the city P= 20000-16000=4000 Lithium mining in the Atacama Desert has been linked to severe environmental impacts, including contamination of ecosystems and exacerbation of water scarcity. The Atacama Desert is already the driest place on Earth, and lithium extraction further strains its limited freshwater resources. Additionally, the process can harm local biodiversity, including species like flamingos that rely on the desert’s fragile ecosystems.
#### 3. Question
Present population of town P and Q is in the ratio 8:7. Present population of town Q is 14000 and it increased by 20% and 14(2/7)% in next two year. Now the population ratio of town Q to P is 24:25. Find increment in population of town P.
Answer: ()
Explanation:
Population of the city P before increment=16000
Population of the city Q ,
after increment=140006/58/7=19200=Q
after increment population ratio of P:Q=25:24
then we get population of the city P after increment=20000
then total increment of the city P= 20000-16000=4000
Answer: ()
Explanation:
Population of the city P before increment=16000
Population of the city Q ,
after increment=140006/58/7=19200=Q
after increment population ratio of P:Q=25:24
then we get population of the city P after increment=20000
then total increment of the city P= 20000-16000=4000
