Question Detail

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

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let x is subtracted.
Then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{(6-x)}{(7-x)}< \frac{16}{21} \\

21(6—x) < 16(7—x)\\
=> 5x > 14 = x > 2.8
\end{aligned}

Least such number is 3

1. If a:b = 2:3 and b:c = 4:3, then find a:b:c

8:12:9
2:3:8
2:3:9
2:3:12

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
a:b = 2:3 \\
b:c = 4:3 = (4*\frac{3}{4} : 3*\frac{3}{4}) \\
= 3:\frac{9}{4} \\
a:b:c = 2:3:\frac{9}{4} \\
= 8:12:9
\end{aligned}

2. If Rs. 782 is divided into three parts, proportional to
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4}
\end{aligned}

find the first part.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4} \\
= 6:8:9\\
\text{First part =} 782 * \frac{6}{23} \\
= 204
\end{aligned}

3. In a mixture 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water 2 : 1. If the this ratio is to be 1 : 2, then the quanity of water to be further added is

20 liters
30 liters
50 liters
60 liters

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Quantity of Milk = 60*(2/3) = 40 liters
Quantity of water = 60-40 = 20 liters

As per question we need to add water to get quantity 2:1

=> 40/(20+x) = 1/2
=> 20 + x = 80
=> x = 60 liters

4. Find the fourth proportion to 2,3,6

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

2:3 :: 6:x

=> 2/3 = 6/x
=> x = 18/2
=> x = 9

5. Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2:3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs 4000, the new ratio becomes 40:57. What is Sumit present salary.

32000
34000
38000
40000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the original Salaries of Ravi and Sumit is 2x and 3x.

So as per question

\begin{aligned}
\frac{2x+4000}{3x+4000} = \frac{40}{57} \\
=> 57(2x+4000) = 40(3x+4000) \\
=> 6x = 68000 \\
=> 3x = 34000 \\

\text{ Sumit Salary =} 3x+4000 \\
34000 + 4000 = 38000

\end{aligned}
