    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 3) 5:07
      Solution : Dozen means = 12
      12/(2+3) = 12/5 ==> wrong
      12/(3+4) = 12/7 ==> wrong
      12/(5+7) = 12/12 = 1 ==> Right (Answer = 5:7)

    • 3) 128 coins
    • 4) None of these
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 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

    • ( 3 ) The least whole number which when subtracted from both the terms of the ratio 6 : 7 to give a ratio less than 16 : 21, is.

    • 1) 2
    • 2) 4
    • 3) 3
    • 4) 6
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 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.

      Answer : 3) Rs 900
      Solution : he ratio of the share students : teacher: benefactor = 1 : 1.5 : 4.5.
      So the proportion to teacher's share = 1.5/7
      Hence, the teachers would donate = (1.5/7) * 4200 = Rs 900.

      Solution : Let Rs 100 be the profit.
      Rs 90 is to be divided in the ratio 12 : 16 : 12. i.e 3 : 4 : 3
      R gets (3/10)*90=27 and 10 for managing.
      => Thus, 27 + 10 = 37%.

    • ( 8 ) Two number are in the ratio 3 : 5. If 9 is subtracted from each, the new numbers are in the ratio 12 : 23. The smaller number is:

    • 1) 27
    • 2) 33
    • 3) 49
    • 4) 55
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 2) 33
      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.

    • ( 9 ) An amount of money is to be distributed among F, Q and R in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7. If Qs share is Rs. 1500, what is the difference between Ps and Rs shares? .

    • 1) Rs. 1200

    • 3) Rs, 1500
    • 4) Rs. 1900
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 1) Rs. 1200
      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
