- Question
One year ago the ratio between Maneela?s and Shanthi?s salary was 3 : 4. The ratios of their individual salaries between last year?s and this year?s salaries are 4 : 5 and 2 : 3 respectively. At present the total of their salary is Rs. 4160. The salary of Maneela, now is?
Options- A. Rs. 1600
- B. Rs. 1700
- C. Rs. 1800
- D. Rs. 1900
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 1600
ExplanationLet the salaries of Maneela and Shanthi one year before be M1, S1 & now be M2, S2 respectively.
Then, from the given data,
M1/S1 = 3/4 .....(1)
M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)
S1/S2 = 2/3 .....(3)
and M2 + S2 = 4160 .....(4)
Solving all these eqtns, we get M2 = Rs. 1600.

Correct Answer: 3^(1/2) :2
Explanation:
area of a square = a² sq cm
length of the diagonal = cm
area of equilateral triangle with side
=
required ratio =
Correct Answer: 17.60
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
When we divide 1234 by 8, remainder is 2
When we divide 1235 by 8, remainder is 3
When we divide 1237 by 8, remainder is 5
---> 2 x 3 x 5 = 30
As 30 will not be the remainder because it is greater than 8,
when 30 divided by 8, remainder = 6.
Correct Answer: 2 cm
Correct Answer: 2.7 hrs
Explanation:
Let Speed of boat in still water = b
Let Speed of still water = w
Then we know that,
Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water
Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water
Given, U + D = 82
b - w + b + w = 82
2b = 82
=> b = 41 kmph
From the given data,
41 - w = 105/3 = 35
w = 6 kmph
Now,
b + w = 126/t
=> 41 + 6 = 126/t
=> t = 126/47 = 2.68 hrs.
Correct Answer: 8k days
Explanation:
As we know that a week has 7 days,
k weeks k days = (7k + k) days = 8k days.
Correct Answer: 74
Explanation:
Number of runs scored more to increse the ratio by 1 is 26 - 14 = 12
To raise the average by one (from 14 to 15), he scored 12 more than the existing average.
Therefore, to raise the average by five (from 14 to 19), he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average. Thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74.
Correct Answer: Rs. 616
Explanation:
Let the average expenditure per head be Rs. p
Now, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44p
After joining of 15 more students, the average expenditure per head is decreased by Rs. 3 => p-3
Here, given the expenditure of the mess for (44+15 = 59) students is increased by Rs. 33
Therefore, 59(p-3) = 44p + 33
59p - 177 = 44p + 33
15p = 210
=> p = 14
Thus, the expenditure of the mess for old students is Rs. 44p = 44 x 14 = Rs. 616.
Correct Answer: 37.5
Explanation:
Average speed = (2xy) /(x + y) km/hr
= (2 * 50 * 30) / (50 + 30) km/hr.
37.5 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Speed in still water = Average of Speed in Upstream and speed in Downstream
= 1/2 (12 + 6) kmph = 9 kmph.
