- 2) 4400

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 1) 3300
Solution : Clearly, Manish invested his capital for 12 months, Vibhor for 9 months and Vivek for 3 months.
So, ratio of their capitals = (45000 * 12) : (60000 * 9) : (90000 * 3)
= 540000 : 540000 : 270000 = 2:2:1.
Manishs share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600; Vibhors share = Rs. [16500 * 2/5] = Rs. 6600; Viveks share = Rs. [16500 * 1/5] = Rs. 3300.

( 2 ) Rs 4830 is divided among Abhishek, Dishant and Prashant such that if Abhishek's share diminishes by Rs 5, Dishant's share diminishes by Rs 10 and Prashant's share diminishes by Rs 15, their shares will be in the ratio 5:4:3. Find the Dishant's original share.
- 1) Rs 1610
- 2) Rs 5421
- 3) Rs 2314
- 4) Rs. 1600
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 1) Rs 1610
Solution : Let actual share of Abhishek, Dishant and Prashant be A, D , P respectively.
A + D + P = 4830
Hence, A's, D's and P's share are diminished by Rs 5, Rs 10 and Rs 15, their net share will be Rs.4800.
Dishant's diminished share = 412 * 4800 = Rs 1600
Hence, Dishant actual share = Rs 1600 + Rs 10 = Rs 1610.

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 1) 4888.88
Solution : Let, x be the total profit.
And, Their investment ratio = 3600:4400:2800=9:11:7.
So, A gets total amount of profit Rs. 8000 i.e
=> 8000 = (1/4) * x + (9/27) * (3/4) * x = (1/2) * x.
=> x = Rs 16,000.
Therefore, B's profit = (11/27) * (3/4) * 16,000 = Rs 4888.88.

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 2) Rs 12
Solution : If they shared equally, each got 4 eggs (12/3 = 4).
So, 1st man gave him 3 eggs and 2nd man gave him 1 egg .
Ratio of their share is 3 : 1.
So, 1st man gets (3/4) * 24 = Rs 18.
And, 2nd man gets (1/4) * 24 = Rs 6.
The required difference is 18 - 6 i.e 12.

( 5 ) Rs.700 is divided among A,B and C so that A receives half as much as B and B half as much as C. Then C's share is :
- 1) Rs.400
- 2) Rs.300
- 3) Rs.200

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 1) Rs.400
Solution : Let C's share = Rs.x. Then
B's share = Rs.x2
And, A's share = Rs.x4
A:B:C = x4 : x2 : x = 1 : 2 : 4
Hence, C's share = Rs.(700 * 4/7) = Rs.400
