TCS Company Numerical Ability Percentage

Jose is a student of horticulture in the University of Hose. In a horticultural experiment in his final year, 200 seeds were planted in plot I and 300 were planted in plot II. If 57% of the seeds in plot I germinated and 42% of the seeds in plot II germinated, what percent of the total number of planted seeds germinated?

Read Solution (Total 2)

48% of planted seeds germinated.

In plot 1, out of 200 seeds 57% is germinated = 57*200/100 = 114 seeds germinated

In plot 2, out of 300 seeds 42% is germinated = 42*300/100 = 126 seeds germinated

Total = Plot 1 + Plot 2 = 114seeds + 126seeds = 240seeds germinated out of 500.

Percentage : 240/500 *100 = 48% pf planted seeds germinated.

57%outof 200seeds in plot1=57/100*200=114
42% germinated outof 300=42/100*300=126
total no of germinated =114+126=240 ,and the no of seeds were planted=200+300=500.
%of plants germinated=240/500*100=48
so answer is 48

TCS Other Question

Guitar Strings often go dead - become less responsive and bright in tone - after a few weeks of intense use. A researcher whose son is a classical guitarist hypothesized that dirt and oil, rather than changes in the material properties of the string, were responsible. Which of the following investigations is most likely to yield significant information that would help evaluate the researcher's hypothesis? Red blood cells in which the malarial-fever parasite resides are eliminated from a person's body after 120 days. Because the parasite cannot travel to a new generation of red blood cells, any fever that develops in a person more than 120 days after that person has moved to a malaria free region is not due to malarial parasite. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?
