Comparing Quantities (Class 7)

What this worksheet covers

This is an eighteen-question practice worksheet on comparing quantities for Class 7, written to the pattern of the SOF International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO). It carries 24 marks and is designed to be attempted in 45 minutes, split across three sections — Mathematical Reasoning, Everyday Mathematics and Reasoning and Achievers Section. Every question is multiple choice with exactly one correct option, and every one comes with a fully worked solution rather than just an answer key — so a child who gets one wrong can see where the reasoning went astray instead of only learning that it did.

Skills your child practises

• Applied problem-solving on comparing quantities at Class 7 level
• Working accurately against a time limit, as the real paper demands
• Mathematical Reasoning questions in the olympiad format
• Everyday Mathematics and Reasoning questions in the olympiad format
• Achievers Section questions in the olympiad format
• Reading worked solutions to find the step that went wrong

Sample questions from this worksheet

A preview of what's inside Comparing Quantities (Class 7) — the PDF has the full set, and every question comes with a worked solution like these.

1. 1. {3/8} written as a percentage is _______.

   • A30%
   • B83%
   • C38%
   • D37.5%correct
   Solution: Multiply by 100.
   {3/8} × 100 = {300/8} = 37.5%.

2. 2. A bill for ₹2,500 attracts GST at 12%. What is the total amount payable?

   • A₹2,800correct
   • B₹2,700
   • C₹2,512
   • D₹3,000
   Solution: GST = 12% of 2,500 = ({12/100}) × 2,500 = ₹300.
   Total = 2,500 + 300 = ₹2,800.

3. 3. Consider the following statements.(i) Profit and loss per cent are calculated on the cost price.(ii) A discount is calculated on the marked price.(iii) If the selling price equals the cost price, the profit per cent is 100%.Which of the statements is/are correct?

   • A(i) and (ii) onlycorrect
   • B(ii) and (iii) only
   • C(i) and (iii) only
   • DAll three
   Solution: Statements (i) and (ii) are both true. Statement (iii) is false — if SP = CP there is neither profit nor loss, so the profit per cent is 0%, not 100%. Hence (i) and (ii).
