Questions and Answers

Q 1 - If three numbers are in the ratio 3:7:11 and double the sum is 84, then the ratio of squares of the numbers is

A - 9:25:49

B - 9:49:121

C - 16:25:36

D - 16:25:49

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the numbers are 3x:7x:11x
It is given that 2(3x+7x+11x) = 84
 => x=2
Ratio 6:14:22 or 3:7:11
 Their squares 9:49:121

Q 2 - Rs. 960 was divided among three sons Qavi, Shafi and Rafi. If each of them had received Rs 45 less, their shares would have been in the ratio of 3:5:7. What was the amount received by Qavi?

A - 275

B - 260

C - 320

D - 210

Answer : D

Explanation

Total =Rs.960
If each of them receives Rs.45 less then 960-(45*3) =825
Ratio being 3:5:7
=>3x+5x+7x=825
=>x=55
Qavi's amount = (3x) +45=(3*55)+45=Rs.210

Q 3 - If a:b =2:3 and b:c =4:5 , then c:a =?

A - 15:8

B - 6:5

C - 8:5

D - 8:15

Answer : A

Explanation

A/C = (a/b *b/c) = (2/3*4/5 ) = 8/15 
C/A =15/8 , 
so C:A = 15:8

Q 4 - If 7:x ::17.5 :22.5 , then x=?

A - 5.5

B - 7.5

C - 6

D - 9

Answer : D

Explanation

X * 17.5 =7*22.5 
=>  X= 7*22.5/17.5 
= 7*225/175 =9.

Q 5 - Rs. 6400 are separated among three laborers in the proportion 3/5 :2 : 5/3 . The offer of second specialist is ?

A - 2560

B - 3000

C - 3200

D - 3840

Answer : B

Explanation

Given ratio=3/5:2/1:5/3=9:30:25.
Share of the second workers = Rs(6400*30/64)=Rs 3000.

Q 6 - In a class, the no. of young women is 20% more than that of the young fellows. The class' quality is 66. If 4 more young women are admitted to the class, what will be the no's extent of young fellows to that of the young women?

A - 1:2

B - 1:4

C - 3:4

D - 3:5

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the number of boys be x.
Then the no. of girls = 120% of x = (120/100 *X)= 6X/5 .
X+6x/5 =66 
=> 5x+6x=330
 => 11x= 330  
=> x= 3
 Now, the no. of boys= 30 , no. of girls =[6/5*30 +4]=40
 Now the ratio of boys and girls = 30/40 = 3/4 =3:4

Q 7 - What ought to be added to each of the four numbers 6, 14, 18, 38 to make them corresponding?

A - 1

B - 2

C - 3

D - 4

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the number to be added be x. Then,
6+X/14+x=  18+x/38+x
=>  (6+x) (38+x)= (14+ x) (18 +x)
=>  228 +44x+x<sup>2</sup> = 252+32x+x<sup>2</sup>
= 12x=24 
=>  x=2 .
∴ the required number is 2.

Q 8 - if the wage of A is 10% more than that of B and the wage of B is 20 % not as much as that of C, than the pay of A,B, C are in the proportion.

A - 11:10:8

B - 22:20:25

C - 10:9:7

D - 22:18:25

Answer : B

Explanation

Let C income be Rs 100. Then, B income=Rs 80.
A income=(110% of Rs 80)=Rs(110/100*80)=Rs 88.
∴A:B:C=88:80:100=22:20:25.

Q 9 - Some cash is isolated among A, B and C in a manner that 5 times An offer ,3 times of B's offer and 2 times C offer are all equivalent . The proportion between the offer of A, B, c is:

A - 5:3:2

B - 2:2:5

C - 15:10:6

D - 6:10:15

Answer : D

Explanation

Let 5A= 3B= 2C=k. Then,
A = k/5, B = k/3 and C = k/2
∴ A:B:C =k/5 :k/3:k/2 =6:10:15.
