SSC CGL Tier II Paper 1 (02.03.2023)
Explanation:
- There are 350 eggs in total.
- 12% of these eggs are rotten.
- To find out how many eggs are rotten, calculate 12% of 350.
- 12% of 350 = 0.12 * 350 = 42.
- This means there are 42 rotten eggs.
- Subtract the rotten eggs from the total to find the good eggs: 350 - 42 = 308.
- Therefore, the number of good eggs is 308.
- Option 1: 408 - Incorrect, this is too high.
- Option 2: 310 - Incorrect, slightly off.
- Option 3: 308 - Correct, matches our calculation.
- Option 4: 410 - Incorrect, this is too high.
