Correct Answer: Rs. 340
Explanation:
Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x
According to the question ;
each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one
Second child will get = Rs. x + 30
Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60
Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90
Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120
Total amount they got = Rs. 2000
x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 2000
5x + 300 = 2000
5x = 1700
x = Rs. 340
So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.
Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
1 2 3 4 5 6(Shankar) 7(Nitu) 8(Althaf) 9 10 11 12 13 14
Here, Althaf is 8th from front, Shankar is 9th from rear end and Nitu is between them
So minimum no. of boys standing in the queue = 14
Correct Answer: 3 days
Explanation:
Let x men can do the in 12 days and the required number of days be z
More men, Less days [Indirect Proportion]
Less work, Less days [Direct Proportion ]
Correct Answer: 12th element
Explanation:
If we consider the third term to be ?x?
The 15th term will be (x + 12d)
6th term will be (x + 3d)
11th term will be (x + 8d) and
13th term will be (x + 10d).
Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.
x + 9d will be the 12th term.
Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.
Correct Answer: 48 paise
Explanation:
Quarter of Kg means 250 gm
Less weight, less price (Direct Proportion)
So,
250 : 200 :: 60 : x => x = 48
So 200 gm will cost 48 paise.
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Let the required number of revolutions made by larger wheel be x.
Then, More cogs, Less revolutions (Indirect Proportion)
14 : 6 :: 21 : x => 14 x x = 6 x 21
x=6*21/14 => x=9
Correct Answer: 42
Explanation:
After 10 days : 150 men had food for 35 days.
Suppose 125 men had food for x days.
Now, Less men, More days (Indirect Proportion)
125 : 150 :: 35 : x 125 x x = 150 x 35
Correct Answer: Rs. (yd/x)
Explanation:
Cost of x metres = Rs. d.
Cost of 1 metre = Rs.(d/x)
Cost of y metres = Rs.[(d/x).y] = Rs.(yd/x)
Correct Answer: 48 Paise
Explanation:
Let the Required cost be X paise. Less Weight , Less cost (Direct Proportion)
Therefore, 250 : 200 :: 60 : x
=> (250 * x) = (200 * 60)
=> x= 48
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let the required number of days be x.
Less cows, More days (Indirect Proportion)
Less bags, Less days (Direct Proportion)
1 x 40 x x = 40 x 1 x 40
=> x = 40.
