- Question
In a business, A invested 1200 rs. more than B. B invested his amount for 15 months while A invested for 4 months more than that of B. If total profit was 1240 rs. in which the profit of B is 280 Rs. less than that if A. then what was the invested amount of A?
Options- A. 6000
- B. 7000
- C. 5000
- D. 8000
- Correct Answer
- 6000
ExplanationAns.
Let B?s investment = x rs.
? A?s investment =( x + 1200) rs.
Ratio of the profits of A and B = (x+1200)*(15+4):x*15 = {19(x+1200)}:15x
Now,let the total profit of A =y
? total profit of B = (y-280)
But total profit = 1240
?y+(y-280)=1240
?2y=1520
?y= 760
?profit of A = 760rs.
Profit of B = 760-280=480 rs.
Ratio of profits= 760:480 = 19:12
According to the question,19(x+1200)/15x = 19/12
12x+14400 = 15x
?3x = 14400
?x = 4800 rs.
?investment of A = 4800+1200
= 6000 rs. - 1. Five coins are tossed at a time. Then, the probability of obtaining at least one tail is

Correct Answer: 31/32
Explanation:
Total events = n (s) = 25 = 32
n(E) of getting heads = 1
p(E) = 1/32
? n(E) = 1 - p(E) = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32
Correct Answer: 178
Explanation:
Number of trees that can be planted on one side of road = (1760 / 20) + 1
= 88 + 1
=89
? Trees on the both side = 2 x 89=178
Correct Answer: 1708249
Explanation:
1307 x 1307 = (1307)2
= (1300 + 7 )2
= (1300)2 + (7)2 + 2 x 1300 x 7
= 1690000 + 49 +18200
= 1708249
Correct Answer: 7 meter
Explanation:
? 2?R - 2?r = (176-132)
? 2?(R-r) = 44
? R-r = ( 44 x 7 )/ (2 x 22)
= 7 m
Correct Answer: 161 / 176
Explanation:
Given Exp. = (1/2 x 1/4 + 20) / (2 + 20) = (161/8) x (1/22)
= 161 / 176
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
NA
Correct Answer: 22/3
Explanation:
If the required fraction be P
According to the question
(P x P) / (1/P) = 1826/27
? P3 = 512/27
? P = 8/3 = 22/3
Correct Answer: 0.000064
Explanation:
(0.04)3 = 0.04 x 0.04 x 0.04
= 0.000064
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
We have p3 + q3 + r3 ? 3pqr = (p + q + r) (p2 + q2 + r2 ?pq ? qr - rp)
Here p = a ? 4, q = b ? 3, r = c ?1
So, given expression is (p + q + r) (p2 + q2 + r2 ? pq ? qr ? rp)
= (a ? 4 + b ? 3 + c ? 1) (p2 + q2 + r2 ? pq ? qr ? rp)
= (a + b + c ? 8) (p2 + q2 + r2 ? pq ? qr ? rp)
= (8 ? 8) (p2 + q2 + r2 ? pq ? qr ? rp)
? (a ? 4)3 + (b ? 3)3 + (c ? 1)3 ? 3 (a ? 4) (b ? 3) (c ? 1) = 0
Correct Answer: 2630
Explanation:
Let 3571 + x - 6086 = 115
Then, x = 6086 +115 -3571
= 6201-3571
= 2630
