Q 1 - In a class, the number of boys is more than the number of girls by 16% of the total strength. The ratio of boys to girls is
Answer : C
Explanation
Let the number of boys and girls be x and y respectively. Then (x-y) = 16% of (x+y) (x-y)= 4/25(x+y) 25x-25y = 4x+4y =>21x = 29y x/y = 29/21 =>x:y = 29:21
Q 2 - If 19 inches correspond to 48.26 cm, how many numbers of Centimeters are there in 39 inches?
Answer : B
Explanation
Let 39 inches corresponds to x cm. Given that 19 inches corresponds to 48.26 cm =>19/48.26=39/x =>x=39/19*48.26=99.06
Q 3 - If A:B =5:7 and B:C = 6:11, then A:B:C =?
Answer : B
Explanation
A:B = 5:7 = 30:42 B:C = 6:11 = 42:77 Thus A: B: C = 30:42:77
Answer : D
Explanation
Let x/5=y/8 = k ,then x = 5k and y = 8k &therw4; x+5/y+8 = 5k+5 / 8k +8 = 5(k+1)/ 8(k+1) = 5/8 => (x+5) : (y+8 ) = 5:8
Q 5 - The proportion of young men and young ladies in a school is 3:2 . at the point when 6 more young ladies join , this proportion gets to be 6:5 . What are number of young men there in the school?
Answer : D
Explanation
Let the quantity of young men and young ladies be 3x and 2x individually. At that point ,3x/(2x+6)=6/5 ?15x=12x+36?3x=36?x=12. Number of boys=(3*12)=36.
Q 6 - The proportion of winning of An and B is 8:9 , if the gaining of An is expanded by half and procuring of B is diminished by 25%, the new proportion of their acquiring is 16:9 , what are An acquiring?
Answer : D
Explanation
New earnings of A and B=Rs (150% of 8x), Rs (75%of 9x) =Rs (150/100*8x), Rs (75/100*9x) = Rs 12x,Rs 27x/4 Ratio of new earnings = 12x: 27x/4 = 48:27 = 16:9. Thus, we cannot find A's earnings.
Q 7 - Two numbers are separately 20% and half all the more than a third Number. These two numbers are in the proportion:
Answer : B
Explanation
Let the 3rd number be X. Then, 1st number = 120% of X= (120/100*X)= 6x/5 2nd number= 150 % of X= (150/100 *X) =3x/2 ∴ Ration of these no. = 6x/5 :3x/2 =12:15 =4:5
Q 8 - Which of the accompanying is the most reduced proportion?
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 - Income of A ,B and C are in the proportion 7:9:12 and their consumption are in the proportion 8:9:15 . On the off chance that A sparing is 1/4 of his wage, then the proportion of sparing of A,B and C is:
Answer : A
Explanation
Let the incomes of A, B and C be 7x, 9x and 12 x and their expenditures be Rs 8y,Rs 9y and Rs 15y respectively. Then their savings are Rs(7x -8y), Rs(9x-9y) and Rs (12x-15y). ∴7x-8y=1/4*7x =>28x-32y=7x =>21x=32y. Ratio of saving=(7x-8y):(9x-9y):(12x-15y) = (7*32/21y-8y):(9*32/21y-9y):(12*32/21y-15y) = (32y-24y/3):(96y-63y/7):(128y-105y/7) = 8y/3:33y/7:23y/7=56:99:69.
Q 10 - A and B are two compounds of gold and copper arranged by blending metals in the extent 7:2 and 7:11 separately. In the event that the equivalent amounts of the combination are dissolved to frame a third amalgam C, the extent of gold and copper In C will be:
Answer : C
Explanation
Gold in C=(7/9+7/18)=21/18=7/6. Copper in C=(2/9+11/18)=15/18=5/6. ∴Gold:Copper=7/6:5/6=7:5.
