Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 1) 160 coins
Solution : 5paisa : 10paisa : 20paisa = 1 : 2 : 4 ---> coins ratio
= 5 : 20 : 80 ----> money ratio
5 paisa * 80 coins = Rs.4/-
10 paisa * 160 coins = Rs.16/-
Then 10 paisa coins in that bag = 160 cions

- 1) 2
- 2) 4
- 3) 3
- 4) 6
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 3) 3
Solution : Let x is subtracted. Then, ((6 - x)/(7 - x)) < 16 / 21
21(6 - x) < 16(7 - x)
=> 5x > 14 = x > 2.8.
Least such number is 3.

Solution : Let the numbers be 3x and 5x.
Then, 3x - 9/5x - 9 = 12/23
23(3x - 9) = 12(5x - 9)
9x = 99
x = 11.
The smaller number = (3 * 11) = 33.

Solution : Let P = 3x, Q = 5x and R = 7x.
Then, 5x = 1500 => x = 300.
P=900,
Q=1500 and
R = 2100.
Hence, (R - p) = (2100 - 900) = 1200
