A sum of $Rs.350$ is to be divided between $A$ and $B$ in the ratio $3:4.$ If the amount distributed in the ratio $4:3$ the amount gained by $A$ is 

  1. $Rs.10$

  2. $Rs.30$

  3. $Rs.50$

  4. $Rs.100$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Let $A$ got $3x$ and $B$ got $4x$. Then,

$3x+4x=350$

$7x=350$

$x=50$

Therefore, $A$ got $150 Rs.$ and $B$ got  $200 Rs.$.

If the ratio was $4 : 3,$ $A$ got $Rs. 200$ and $B$ got $Rs. 150$.

Therefore, the amount gained by $A = Rs. 50$

Instead of dividing $Rs.\,117$ among $P,Q,R$ in the ratio $\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\colon\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}\colon\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}$, by mistake it was divided in the ratio $2\,\colon\,3\,\colon\,4$. Who gained in the transaction? 

  1. only $P$

  2. only $Q$

  3. only $R$

  4. both $Q$ and $R$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Desired ratio $=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\colon\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}\colon\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\times12\colon\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}\times12\colon\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}\times12$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=6\colon4\colon3$
Ratio by mistake $=2\colon3\colon4=6\colon9\colon12$
Hence, it is clear that both $Q$ and $R$ gained in the transaction.

If $2$ kg of almonds cost as much as $8$ kg of walnuts and the cost of $5$ kg of almonds and $16$ kg of walnuts is Rs. $1080$, the cost of almonds per kg is

  1. Rs. $160$

  2. Rs. $150$

  3. Rs. $120$

  4. Rs. $140$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the cost of almond per kg be Rs. $x$ and cost of walnuts per kg be Rs. $y$. Then
$2x=8y\;\;\Rightarrow\;y=\displaystyle\frac{x}{4}$
Given, $5x+16y=1080$
$\Rightarrow\;5x+\displaystyle\frac{16\times\,x}{4}=1080$
$\Rightarrow\;9x=1080\,$

$\Rightarrow\,x=120$

A man encashes a cheque of $Rs. 600$ from a bank. The bank pays him money in $10$ rupee notes and $5$ rupee notes only, totalling $72.$ The ratio of the number of $10$ rupee notes to that of $5$ rupee notes is

  1. $1 : 2$

  2. $2 : 1$

  3. $2 : 3$

  4. $3 : 2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the number of 10 rupee notes = x. Then,
Number of 5 rupee notes = 72 - x
Given, $x \times 10 + 5 (72 - x) = 600$
$\Rightarrow 10x + 360 - 5x = 600 \Rightarrow 5x = 240 \Rightarrow x = 48$
$\therefore$ Required ratio $= \displaystyle \frac{48}{(72 - 48)} = \frac{48}{24} = \frac{2}{1} =2 : 1$

46.3=_______________

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{46}{10}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{460}{10}$

  3. $\displaystyle 46\frac{3}{10}$

  4. $\displaystyle \frac{463}{100}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

46.3 is the number we have to convert in a fraction. 

First we'll convert the given decimal in a fraction to eliminate the decimal point.
46.3=463/10
Now we divide 463 by 10.
 10×46=460 so the remainder is 3.
The resulting fraction will be, 46 whole 3/10.
So option C is the correct answer.

If Rs. $60$ is divided into two parts in the ratio $2 : 3,$ then the difference between those two parts is ______

  1. Rs. $10$

  2. Rs. $12$

  3. Rs. $5$

  4. none


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Rs. $60$ is divided into two parts $2:3$.
Their sum is $2+3=5$.
Thus first part is $60\, \times\, \displaystyle \frac {2}{5} =$ Rs. $24$
and second part will be $60\, \times\, \displaystyle \frac {3}{5}\, =$ Rs. $36$.
Therefore, difference will be $ 36 - 24 =$ Rs. $12$.

  2. $14, 21, 28$

  3. $20, 15, 30$

  4. $20, 30, 40$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let the three numbers be 2x, 3x and 4x.
Given, $(2x)^2 + (3x)^2 + (4x)^2 = 725$
$\Rightarrow 4x^2 + 9x^2 + 16 x^2 = 725 \Rightarrow 29 x^2 = 725$
$\Rightarrow x^2 = 25 \Rightarrow x = 5$
$\therefore$ The numbers are 10, 15 and 20.

$\Rightarrow 38x^{2} = 1862$
$\Rightarrow  x^{2} = 1862 \div 38 = 49$
$\Rightarrow x = 7$ 
The numbers are $21, 14, 35$.

Divide Rs.$3600$ between Satya and Vishnu in the ratio of $3:5$. Then Vishnu gets money -

  1. Rs.$2,000$

  2. Rs.$2,250$

  3. Rs.$3,250$

  4. Rs.$3,200$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

According to the question;

Let Satya get $3x$ and Vishnu get $5x$
Then,
\begin{array}{l} 3x+5x=3600 \ \Rightarrow 8x=3600 \ \Rightarrow x=\frac { { 3600 } }{ 8 }  \ \Rightarrow x=450 \end{array}
Thus Satya gets $3x$=$3\times450=1350$ rupees and Vishnu gets $5x$=$5\times450=2250$ rupees.

In an examination, the ratio of passes to failures was 4 : 1. Had 30 less appeared and 20 less passed, the ratio of passes to failures would have been 5 : 1. Find the number of students who appeared for the examination.

  1. 150

  2. 140

  3. 130

  4. 120


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Suppose $x$ candidates passed and $y$ failed; therefore,
$\dfrac { x }{ y } =\dfrac { 4 }{ 1 } $
$x=4y$                                                                                    (1)
In the second case; no. of students appeared $= x+y -30$

and no. of those who passed  $ = x -20$
No of failed
$N=x+y-30-(x-20)$
$N=y-10$
from the question 
$\dfrac { x-20 }{ y-10 } =\dfrac{5}{1}$
$x-20=5y-50$
$x-5y=-30$
from ( 1)
$4y-5y=-30$
$y=30$
$x=120$
So, $x+y=150$
Total number of students who appeared for the examination $=150$

                                                                          $=1-\dfrac38$$=\dfrac58$

Portion of the book read on another day $= \dfrac{4}{5}$ of portion of the book left unread after one day
                                                                 
                                                                    $=\dfrac{4}{5}$$\times$ $\dfrac{5}{8}$

                                                                    $=\dfrac{1}{2}$


So the portion of the book read on second day= $\dfrac12$

On a particular day, $\dfrac{2}{15}$th of the total number of students in a school were absent. If $1950$ were present on that day, find the total strength of the school.

  1. $1570$

  2. $2250$

  3. $1925$

  4. $2750$

                                                                              $=\dfrac18$

Let there be '$x$' number of pages in the book
According to question,
$\dfrac18 \text{ of x}=60$
$\Longrightarrow  x=480$

Therefore, total number of page$=480$

The annual incomes of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their annual expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves Rs. 5, 000 then, find their annual incomes.

  1. A = Rs. 22,000 and B = Rs. 30,000

  2. A = Rs. 30,000 and B = Rs. 40,000

  3. A = Rs. 50,000 and B = Rs. 70,000

  4. A = Rs. 40,000 and B = Rs. 20,000


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the annual incomes of A and B be $ 3x $ and $ 4x $

And the annual expenditures of A and B be $ 5y $ and $ 7y $

Since each of them saves $ Rs  5000 $. 

$ 3x-5y = 5000 $ ----- (1)
$4x-7y = 5000 $ ---- (2)

Multiplying equation  $ (1) $ with $ 4 $ we get, $ 12x - 20y = 20000 $ ----- equation $ (3) $

Multiplying equation  $ (2) $ with $ 3 $ we get, $ 12x-21y=15000 $ ----- equation $ (4) $

Subtracting equation $ (4) $ from $ (3) $, we get $ y = 5000 $

Substituting $ y = 5000 $ in the equation $ (1) $, we get $ 3x-5(5000) = 5000 = x = 10000 $

Hence,, annual income of A $ = 3x =$ Rs $30000 $ and of B $ = 4x =$ Rs $ 40000 $

  2. $\;46,58,75$

  3. $\;42,56,70$

  4. $\;45,60,75$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let the numbers of one rupee, $50:p$ and $25:p$ coins be $3x,4x$ and $5x$ respectively. Then,
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;3x\times1+4x\times0.50+5x\times0.25=93.75$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\,3x+2x+1.25x=93.75$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\,6.25x=93.75$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\,x=\displaystyle\frac{93.75}{6.25}=\displaystyle\frac{9375}{625}=15$.
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\therefore\;$The number of onerupee, $50\ p$ and $25\ p$ coins are $45,60$ and $75$ respectively.

$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ Given, $5x-x=3600\;\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\;4x=3600$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\,x=900$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\therefore\;A's\;share+B's\;share=Rs.\,3\times900+Rs.\,900$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=Rs.\,2700+Rs.\,900$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;=\,Rs.\,3600$

A certain sum of money is divided between $P$ and $Q$ in the ratio $3\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\,\colon\,5\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}$. If $P$ gets $Rs.\,180$ less than $Q$, then what is the share of $Q$?

  1. $\;Rs.\,315$

  2. $\;Rs.\,495$

  3. $\;Rs.\,630$

  4. $\;Rs.\,810$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let Q's share be Q, and P's share be $(Q - 180)$


P : Q is $7 : 11$

    $\dfrac { Q -  180 }{ Q } =\dfrac { 7 }{ 11 } $
$11Q - 1980=\quad 7Q$
               $ 4Q= 1980$
                 $Q = 495$

So, Q is Rs $495$.

The ratio of the monthly income to the saving of a family is $9\,\colon\,2$. If the monthly income of the family is $Rs.\,2700$, then its monthly expenditure will be

  4. $\;1,60,000;\,2,40,000;\,3,20,000$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Amount to be paid in taxes $=20\%$ of $Rs.\,9,00,000=Rs.\,1,80,000$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ Amount to be distributed among $P,Q\,and\,R=9,00,000-1,80,000=7,20,000$.
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\therefore\;Let\;the\;shares\;of\;P,Q\,and\,R\;be\,x,\displaystyle\frac{3x}{2}$ and $2x$ respectively. 

Then,
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;x+\displaystyle\frac{3x}{2}+2x=7,20,000\;\Rightarrow\;\;x=Rs.\,1,60,000$.
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;The\;share\;of\;P,Q\,and\,R\;are\;Rs.\,1,60,000,Rs.\,2,40,000\,and\,Rs.\,3,20,000$.

If $378$ coins consist of one rupee, $50$ paise and $25$ paise coins whose values are in the ratio $13 : 11 : 7,$ then the number of $50$ paise coins will be

  1. $132$

  2. $128$

  3. $136$

  4. $133$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let, Number of one-rupee coins = x,
Number of 50 paise coins = y,
Number of 25 paise coins = z,
Given, x + y + z = 378              ....... (1)
Also, $1 \times x : \displaystyle \dfrac{50}{100} \times y : \dfrac{25}{100} \times z = 13 : 11 : 7$
$\Rightarrow x : y/2 : z/4 = 13 : 11 : 7$
$\Rightarrow \displaystyle \dfrac{x}{13} = \dfrac{y/2}{11} = \dfrac{z/4}{7} =k $  (say)
$\Rightarrow x = 13k, y = 22 k, z = 28 k.$
Then, $13 k + 22k + 28 k = 378 $        (From (1))
$\Rightarrow 63 k = 378$  hence $ k = 6$
$\therefore $ Number of 50 paise coins $= 22 \times 6 = 132$

The ratio of the number of ladies to that of gents at a party was $3 : 2.$ When $20$ more gents joined the party, the ratio was reversed. The number of ladies present at the party was

  1. $36$

  2. $32$

  3. $24$

  4. $16$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the number of ladies and gents in the party be 3x and 2x respectively. Then,
$\displaystyle \frac{3x}{2x + 20} = \frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow 9x = 4x + 40 \Rightarrow 5x = 40$
$\Rightarrow x = 8$
$\therefore$ Number of ladies in the party $= 3x = 3 \times 8 = 24$

  1. $\;30$

  2. $\;28$

  3. $\;24$

  4. $\;10$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let the two numbers be $2x$ and $3x$. Then,
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\displaystyle\frac{2x-2}{3x+2}=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\;\Rightarrow\;4x-4=3x+2\;\Rightarrow\,x=6$
$\therefore$ The numbers are $12$ and $18$.
Required sum$=12+18=30$.

The ratio of the number of boys to that of the girls in a school of $432$ students is $5\colon4$. How many new girls should join the school for the ratio to be $1\colon1$.

  1. $\;16$

  2. $\;68$

  3. $\;116$

  4. $\;48$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Number of boys $=\displaystyle\frac{5}{9}\times432=240$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ Number of girls $=432-240=192$.
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ Let the number of new girls be $x$. Then,
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\displaystyle\frac{240}{192+x}=\displaystyle\frac{1}{1}\;\Rightarrow\,240=192+x\,\Rightarrow\,x=48$.

The sum of three numbers is $116.$ The ratio of the second to the third is $9 : 16$ and the first to third is $1 : 4.$ The second number is

  1. $30$

  2. $32$

  3. $34$

  4. $36$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let the 1st number be $x$. Then, third number $= 4x$
Given, $\displaystyle \frac{\text{2nd number}}{\text{3rd number}} = \frac{9}{16} \Rightarrow \frac{\text{2nd number}}{4x} = \frac{9}{16}$
$\Rightarrow \displaystyle \text{2nd number} = \frac{9}{16} \times 4x = \frac{9}{4} x$
Given, $\displaystyle x + \frac{9x}{4} + 4x = 116$
$\Rightarrow 4x + 9x + 16x = 116 \times 4$
$\Rightarrow 29 x = 116 \times 4 \Rightarrow x = \displaystyle \frac{116 \times 4}{29} = 16$
$\therefore \text{2nd number}= \displaystyle \frac{9}{16} \times 4 \times 16 = 36$

If the difference between Peter and Janet is $Rs.360$ then Anita gets $=\dfrac{12}{6}\times 360=720  Rs.$

Divide 170 into three parts such that the first part is 10 more than the second and its ratio with the third part is 2:5.

  1. $40, 30, 100$

  2. $20, 30, 100$

  3. $40, 50, 100$

  4. $50, 30, 100$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let the first part =x. Then,
Second part = x-10
$\displaystyle \frac {First \ part}{Third \ part} = \frac {2}{5} \Rightarrow Third \ part = \frac {5x}{2} $
Given, $ \displaystyle x= x - 10 + \frac {5x}{2}= 170 \Rightarrow 2x+ 2x - 20 + 5x = 340 \Rightarrow 9x = 360 \Rightarrow x = 40$
$\displaystyle \therefore $ The  three  parts  are  40, 40- 10 , 5 $ \displaystyle \times \frac {40}{2}$, i.e. , 40, 30, 100

$A$ and $B$ have a monthly incomes in the ratio $5\,\colon\,6$ and monthly expenditures in the ratio $3\,\colon\,4$. If they save $Rs.\,1800$ and $Rs.\,1600$ respectively, find the monthly income of $B$.

  2. $\;Rs.\,2700$

  3. $\;Rs.\,1720$

  4. $\;Rs.\,7200$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let the monthly incomes of $A$ and $B$ be $Rs.\,5x$ and $Rs.\,6x$ respectively.
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ Then, $\displaystyle\frac{5x-1800}{6x-1600}=\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\,20x-7200=18x-4800$
$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\Rightarrow\,2x=2400\;\;\Rightarrow\;\;x=1200$
$\therefore$ Monthly income of B$=6\times\,Rs.\,1200=Rs.\,7200$.

A person divided Rs. $10,800$ among his three sons in the ratio $3\colon4\colon5$. Second son kept Rs. $1000$ for himself, gave Rs. $600$ to his wife and divided the remaining money among his two daughters in the ratio $11\colon9$. Then one of his daughter's received

  1. Rs. $1000$

  2. Rs. $1050$

  3. Rs. $1100$

  4. Rs. $1150$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Second son's share $=\displaystyle\frac{4}{(3+4+5)}\times $Rs. $10,800$
$=\dfrac{4}{12}\times $ Rs $,10,800=$ Rs. $3600$
Remaining money with him $=$ Rs. $3600-$ Rs. $(1000+600)$
$=$ Rs. $2000$.
Both the daughter's share are $\displaystyle\frac{11}{20}\times$ Rs. $2000 $ and $\displaystyle\frac{9}{20}\times $ Rs. $2000$

$=$ Rs. $1100$ and Rs. $900$.

The incomes of $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $5 : 3.$ The expenses of $A, B$ and $C$ are in the ratio $8 : 5 : 2.$ If C spends $Rs. 2000$ and $B$ saves $Rs. 700,$ then $A$ saves

  1. $Rs. 1500$

  2. $Rs. 1000$

  3. $Rs. 500$

  4. $Rs. 250$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let the expenses of A, B and C be Rs. 8x, Rs. 5x and Rs. 2x respectively. Given, 2x = 2000
$\Rightarrow x = Rs. 1000$
$\Rightarrow$ B's expenses $= 5 \times Rs. 1000 = Rs. 5000$,
A's expenses $=Rs. 8000$
Given, B's saving $= Rs. 700$
$\Rightarrow $ B's income $= Rs. 5000 + Rs. 700 = Rs. 5700$
Given, A's income : B's income = 5 : 3
$\Rightarrow \displaystyle \frac{\text{A's income}}{5700} = \frac{5}{3}$
$\Rightarrow $ A's income $= \displaystyle \frac{5}{3} \times Rs. 5700 = Rs. 9500$
$\therefore$ A's savings $= Rs 9500 - Rs. 8000 = Rs. 1500$

$Rs. 366$ is divided among A,B & C so that A get $\dfrac{1}{2}$ as much B & C together, B get $\dfrac{2}{3}$ as much A & C together , then the share of A is

A sum of money is delivered among $A, B, C$ and $D$ in the ratio $3:4:9:10$. If the share of $C$ is Rs. $2580$ more than the share of $B$, What is the total amount of money of $A$ and $D$ together ?

  1. 6400

  2. 6708

  3. 6700

  4. 6510


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given ratio : $3 : 4 : 9 : 10$
Let $A$ share $= 3x$
$B$ share $= 4x$
$C$ share $= 9x$
$D$ share $ = 10x$
Given, $C$ share is $2580$ more than $B$ share i.e.
$9x - 2580 = 4x$
$5x = 2580$
$x = 516$
So, $A$ share $= 3x = 516\times 3 = 1548$
$D$ share  $= 10x = 516\times 10 = 5160$
$A + D = 1548 + 5160 =$ Rs. $6708$

$Rs. 2430$ are distributed among three persons so that their shares be diminished by $Rs. 5, Rs. 10$ and $Rs. 15$ respectively, the remainder shall be in the ratio $3 : 4 : 5.$ The share of $C$ is

  1. $Rs. 1015$

  2. $Rs. 605$

  3. $Rs. 810$

  4. $Rs. 1415$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let $Rs. 2430$ be divided among three persons with their shares as $x, y$ and $z$ respectively so that $x + y + z = 2430$
Given, $x - 5 : y - 10 : z - 15 = 3 : 4 : 5$
$\Rightarrow x- 5 = 3k, y - 10 = 4k $ and $ z - 15 = 5 k$
$\Rightarrow x = 3k + 5, y = 4k + 10$ and $z = 5k + 15$
$\therefore 3k + 5 + 4k + 10 + 5k + 15 = 2430$
$\Rightarrow 12k + 30 = 2430    \Rightarrow 12 k = 2400 \Rightarrow k = 200$
$\therefore$ C's share $= z = 5k + 15 = 5 \times 200 + 15 = Rs. 1015$

A tiny piggy bank contains Rs. 1, 50 paise, 25 paise  coins in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. If the total value is Rs. 154, then what is the number of 25 paise coins ?

  1. 168

  2. 112

  3. 56

  4. 156


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ratio of coins  = 1 : 2 : 3
Value of the total coin = Rs 154
Let number of one rupee coin is x, 50 paise coin is 2x and 25 paise coin is 3x.
Value of the one rupee coin = x
value of 50 paise coin  =  Rs. $\dfrac{2x}{2}$ = Rs.x
value of the 25 paise coin  = 3x/4
value of whole coins  = 154
x + x + $\dfrac{3x}{4}$ = 154
$8x + 3x = 154 *4$
$11x = 154 *4$
x = 14 *4 = 56. Then
Number of 25 paise coins  = 3x = 3 *56 = 168

A amount of $Rs.735$ was divided between A,B and C. If each of them had received $Rs.25$ less, their shares would have been in the ratio $1:3:2$. The money received by C was

  1. Rs. $195$

  2. Rs. $200$

  3. Rs. $225$

  4. Rs. $245$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

As per the given data,

$(A+25)+(B+25)+(C+25)=735$
$\implies A+B+C=735-75=660$ ....... $(1)$
$A:B:C=1:3:2$
$\implies A=x, B=3x, C=2x$
$\implies x+3x+2x=660$  ...... (From (1))
$\implies x=110$
Money received by C $=2 \times 110 +25=Rs.245$
Hence, option D is correct.

A pot contains $81$ litres of pure milk. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} $ of the milk is replaced by the same amount of water. Again $\dfrac{1}{3} $ of the mixture is replaced by that amount of water. The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture is:

  1. $1:2$

  2. $1:1$

  3. $2:1$

  4. $4:5$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Initially, Milk = 81 litres and waterr = 0 litre Afte 1st operation,
Milk = $ \displaystyle[81 - \frac{1}{3} \times 81] litres = (81 - 27) litres = 54$ litres
Water =  $\displaystyle [ 0+ \frac{1}{3} \times 54] litres $ = $(54-18)$ litres $= 36$ litres
Water= $\displaystyle [27 - \frac{1}{3} \times 27] litres + [\frac{1}{3} \times 54 + \frac{1}{3} \times 27 ] litres$ = $(27-9)$ litres + $(18+9)$ litres $= 45 $litres 
$\therefore $ Required ratio of milk and water in the new mixture $= 36: 45 = 4:5 $

Divide Rs. $6500$ in two parts, such that if one part is lent out at $9\%$ per annum and other at $10\%$ per annum, the total yearly income(income from simple interest) is Rs.$605$.

  1. $2000,\,4000$

  2. $2000,\,4500$

  3. $1500,\,4000$

  4. $1500,\,4500$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the on one part $=x$

      the other part $6500-x$
$\Longrightarrow \dfrac{9x}{100}+\dfrac{6500-x}{100}\times 10=605$
$\Longrightarrow 9x+65000-10x=60500$
$\Longrightarrow x=4500$
$6500-x=6500-4500=2000$

Explanation:

Quantity of milk $=60\times \dfrac{2}{3}=40$ litres
Quantity of water $=60-40=20$ litres
As per question we need to add water to get quantity $2:1$
$\Longrightarrow \dfrac{40}{20+x}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\;20+x=80$
$\Rightarrow\;x=60$ litres

A basket has 30 items, find the number of items that two persons A and B gets if the the items are divided in the ratio of 2:3.

  1. 14 and 16

  2. 12 and 18

  3. 9 and 21

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since the ratio is $2:3$,

Let A receives $2x$ items then B will receive $3x$ items
But the total items in the basket is $30$, so
$2x+3x=30\Rightarrow 5x=30\Rightarrow x=6$
So person A will get 12 and person B will get 18 items

If the ratio of men to women in an office is $7$ to $5$. Which of the following could not be the number of employees in the office ?

  1. 24

  2. 30

  3. 36

  4. 48


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

According to the problem, there are $7$ men for every $5$ women in the office.
Let the number of men and women be $7x$ and $5x$ respectively.
This means that the total number of employees will always be a multiple of $(7x+5x)=12x$.
From the given options, $30$ is not a multiple of $12$.
So, the required answer is $30$.

$\therefore$  Total number of vowels = $4$.

$\therefore$  $\dfrac{Number\,of\,consonants}{Number\,of\,viwels}=\dfrac{7}{4}$

$\therefore$   Required ratio is $7:4$

A sum of Rs. 9,000 is to be distributed among A, B and C in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 6. What will be the difference between As and Cs shares?

  1. Rs. 600

  2. Rs. 1,000

  3. Rs. 900

  4. Rs. 1,200


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given that,
Total money = Rs. 9000 
A: B: C = 4 :5:6 
As share= $\cfrac{4}{(4 + 5 + 6)} \times 9000 = 2400$
Bs share = $\cfrac{5}{(4 + 5 + 6)} \times 9000 = 3000$
Cs share = $\cfrac{6}{(4 + 5 + 6)}\times 9000=3600$

Total money = Rs. 9000 
Hence, difference between As share and Cs share
= 3600 - 2400 = 1200

The ratio of length of two trains is $5 : 3$ and the ratio of their speed is $6 : 5$. The ratio of time taken by them to cross a pole is

  1. $5 : 6$

  2. $11 : 8$

  3. $25 : 18$

  4. $27 : 16$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is given that,
$\dfrac {l _{1}}{l _{2}} = \dfrac {5}{3}$ and $\dfrac {s _{1}}{s _{2}} = \dfrac {6}{5}\Rightarrow \dfrac {t _{1}}{t _{2}} = \dfrac {\dfrac {l _{1}}{s _{1}}}{\dfrac {l _{2}}{s _{2}}} = \dfrac {l _{1}}{l _{2}}\times \dfrac {s _{2}}{s _{1}} = \dfrac {5}{3}\times \dfrac {5}{6} = \dfrac {25}{18}$
Hence, $t _{1} : t _{2} = 25 : 18$.
