- Question
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's salary?
Options- A. 38000
- B. 46800
- C. 36700
- D. 50000
- Correct Answer
- 38000
ExplanationLet the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then,
(2x+4000) / (3x+4000) = 40 / 57
? 57 × (2x + 4000) = 40 × (3x+4000)
? 6x = 68,000
? 3x = 34,000
Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000 - 1. A train 300 meters long passes a standing man is 15 seconds. The speed of the train is?

Correct Answer: 72 km/hr
Explanation:
? Speed = Distance / Time = (300/15)
= 20 m/sec
= (20 x 18) / 5 = 72 km/hr
Correct Answer: Becomes four fold
Explanation:
Ratio of the areas = area of original square / area of new square
= [ d2 / 2 ] / [ (2d)2 / 2 ] = 1/4
? New area becomes 4 fold.
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
So, 24 is wrong, it should be 8 (48/6 = 8).
Correct Answer: 2520 m2
Explanation:
Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.
∴ Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2.
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
Let the number be x,
Then, 4x/5 - 2x/3 = 8
? (12x - 10x) / 15 = 8
? 2x = 120
? x = 60
Correct Answer: 39°
Explanation:
39°
Correct Answer: ? 4000
Explanation:
Share of Rakesh : Share of Dinesh : Share of Mahesh
= 5000 : 8000 : 12000 = 5 : 8 : 12
Total earned profit = ? 12500
? Share of Dinesh in profit
= [8/(5 + 8 + 12)] x 12500 = (8/25) x 12500
= 8 x 500 = ? 4000
Correct Answer: 364
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.
Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.
Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.
∴ Required number = (90 x 4) + 4 = 364.
Correct Answer: 0.954
Explanation:
⟹ log (33 ) = 1.431
⟹ 3 log 3 = 1.431
⟹ log 3 = 0.477
∴ log 9 = log(32 ) = 2 log 3 = (2 x 0.477) = 0.954.
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
| ∴ Required number of ways | = (3C1 x 6C2) + (3C2 x 6C1) + (3C3) | |||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||
| = (45 + 18 + 1) | ||||||||||||||
| = 64. |
