Questions and Answers

Q 1 - Divide Rs. 1500 among U,V,W,X so that u and V together get thrice as much as W and X together, V gets four times of what W gets and W gets 1.5 times as much as X. V gets Rs

A - 800

B - 900

C - 700

D - 450

Answer : B

Explanation

U+V+W+X=1500 ------ (1)
Here   U+V=3(W+X)
From (1)
And 4(W+X) =1500 => W+X=375
U+V=1125
Given that V=4W & W=1.5X
=> 2.5X = 375 => X=150
=> V=4*1.5*X=900

Q 2 - If 420 Mangoes was distributed among three children's in the ratio 1/3:2/3:3/4 , how many bananas did the first child get?

A - 75

B - 80

C - 90

D - 66

Answer : B

Explanation

1/3:2/3:3/4=(4:8:9)/12
Mangoes are in the ratio 4x:8x:9x
 4x+8x+9x = 420
=> x=20
 => First child get 4*20=80 mangoes

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 - 1/x :1/y :1/z =2:3:5, then x:y:z=?

A - 2:3:5

B - 15:10:6

C - 5:3:2

D - 6:10:15

Answer : B

Explanation

Let 1/x = 2k , 1/y = 3k and 1/z = 5k
At that point x = 1/2k, y =1/3k, z = 1/5k 
∴   x:y:z = 1/2k : 1/3k: 1/5k
∴  x:y:z = 15:10:6

Q 5 - On the off chance that a:b =c:d =e: f =1:2 , then (3a+5c+7e) : (3b +5d +7f ) = ?

A - 1:2

B - 1:4

C - 2:1

D - 8:7

Answer : A

Explanation

a/b=c/d=e/f=1/2?a= b/2,c=d/2 and e=f/2.
  ∴ (3a+5c+7e)/(3b+5d+7f) =
(3b/2+5d/2+7f/2)/(3b+5d+7f) 
= 1/2(3b+5d+7f)/3b+5d+7f) = 1/2.
=>  (3a+5c+7e):(3b+5d+7f)= 1:2.

Q 6 - If 32 understudies In a class are females and the proportion of females to guys understudy is 16:9 , then what % of the class is females ?

A - 32%

B - 36%

C - 56.25%

D - 64%

Answer : D

Explanation

Let the females be16x and males 9x .
Then, 16 x = 32  
=> x=2
 So, there are 32 females and 18 males in the class. 
 Percentage of females = {32/50*100)% = 64 %

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 - Which of the accompanying is the most reduced proportion?

A - 7:13

B - 17:25

C - 7:15

D - 15:23

Answer : C

Explanation

7/13 =0.538, 17/25 =0.68, 7/15= 0.466, 15/23 =0.652
Clearly, 7/15 is the smallest.

Q 9 - Rs. 5625 are separated among A, B and C so that A receives 1/2 as much as B and C together gets and B gets 1/4 of what An and C together gets. The offer of A is more than B by:

A - 750

B - 775

C - 1500

D - 1600

Answer : A

Explanation

A= 1/2(B+C) 
=> B+C= 2A 
=> A+B+C= 3A
∴ 3A = 5625 
=> A= 1875.
B= 1/4 (A+C) 
=> A+C =4B 
=> A+B+C = 5B
∴ 5B = 5625 
=> B =1125
Hence, (A-B) = (1875-1125) =750

Q 10 - Two equivalent glasses are 1/3 and 1/4 loaded with milk. They are then topped off with the water and the substances are blended in a tumbler. The milk's proportion and water in the tumbler is:

A - 7:5

B - 7:17

C - 3:7

D - 11:23

Answer : B

Explanation

First glass contains milk =1/3, water=2/3.
Second contains milk =1/4,water=3/4.
New tumbler contains milk=(1/3+1/4)=7/12,water=(2/3+3/4)=17/12.
Ratio of milk and water in it =7/12:7/12=7:17.
