0. A three digit number consists of 9,5 and one more number . When these digits are reversed and then subtracted from the original number the answer yielded will be consisting of the same digits arranged yet in a different order. What is the other digit?
Ans: Let the digit unknown be n.
The given number is then 900+50+n=950+n.
When reversed the new number is 100n+50+9=59+100n.
Subtracting these two numbers we get 891-99n.
The digit can be arranged in 3 ways or 6 ways.
We have already investigated 2 of these ways.
We can now try one of the remaining 4 ways. One of these is n 95
100n+90+5=891-99n
or 199n =796
so, n=4
the unknown digit is 4.

2. On the first test of the semester, kiran scored a 60. On the last test of the semester, kiran scored
75%
By what percent did kiran's score improve?
Ans: 25%
Sol. In first test kiran got 60
In last test he got 75.
% increase in test ( 60(x+100))/100=75
0.6X+60=75
0.6X=15
X=15/0.6=25%
3. group consists of equal number of men and women. Of them 10% of men and 45% of women are unemployed. If a person is randomly selected from the group. Find the probability for the selected person to be an employee.
Ans: 29/40
Sol: Assume men=100,women=100 then employed men & women r (100-10)+(100-45)=145
So probability for the selected person to be an employee=145/200=29/40
