1.Quantitative Comparison
i)Number of seconds in 2 weeks
ii)Number of minutes in 90 days

Solution
The Number of seconds in 2 weeks is 1209600 (60*60*24*7*2)

2.Jill's weekly income was 130% of Bill's weekly income.
Bill's weekly income is how much percentage of jill's weekly income?

Solution
Such problems are available in R.S Agarwal.
If Jill’s weekly income was 30% (If Jill earns 13$ n Bill earns 10$ then Jill earns 30% more than Bill i.e. Jill earns 130% of Bill's earning) more than Bill then Bill is less than Jill by [30/(100+30)*100]% , this gives how much lesser Bill earns than Jill, subtract this from 130% n that gives answer.(This is my guess, if some one could come with more better solution ,we will put it here)

  • hi..,
    for the 2nd problem ... i did not understand ur solution n moreover that is too complicated method i guess...

    let bill's income is 100..then jill's is 130.
    if jill's income(130) is considered 100% then bills income is wat % of it
    100*100/130 gives approx 77 r 78 %
