Question

If 90% of a number is 621, what will be 50% of 20% of that number?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2020 (Tier-2) Statistics Previous Year Paper 3 (28-Jan-2022)
The correct answer is

69

Step 1 – Find the number: Let the number be x. Given \(0.9x = 621\), so \(x = \dfrac{621}{0.9} = 690\).

Step 2 – Combine the percentages: 50% of 20% = \(0.5 \times 0.2 = 0.10\), i.e. 10% of the number.

Step 3 – Compute: \(0.10 \times 690 = 69\).

Hence the answer is 69.
