Correct Answer: 54
Correct Answer: 32
Explanation:
Given ratio of number of sheep and horses = 4 : 15
Let number of sheep and horses are 4k and 15k
Number of horses = 13200/110 = 120
Now 15K = 120 and k = 8
Number of sheep = 4k = (4 x 8) = 32
Correct Answer: 10 points
Explanation:
a:b = 60:40
a:c = 60:45
c/a x a/b = 45/60 x 60/40 = 45/40 = 90/80
So C gives B => 10 points.
Correct Answer: 165
Explanation:
Ratio C1:C2 = 3:5 and C2:C3 = 7:11
So C1:C2:C3 = 21 : 35 : 55
Let the strength of three classes are 21x, 35x and 55x respectively, then
Given that 21x + 35x + 55x = 333
=> 111x = 333 or x=3
So strength of the class with highest number of students =55x = 55x3 = 165.
Correct Answer: 8 years
Explanation:
Since Pooja and Shipra are twins so their ages be same. Let their ages be x and age of Mounika be y , then
x+x = y -------(1)
and
Now, from equation (1),
7x - 4x = 15 => x = 5
So the age of Shipra 3 years hence will be 5+3 = 8 years
Correct Answer: 131 calls
Explanation:
1st supporter recieve 440 calls
2nd supporter recieve 360 calls
3rd supporter recieve 300 calls
So total calls = 1100 calls ;
Calls this month= 1500
So remaining calls to be distributed is 400
So Now Ratio 1st:2nd:3rd ==> 440:360:300
=> 22:18:15
Now No. of More Calls 2nd supporter will get => [18/(22+18+15)] x 400
=> (18/55) x 400
=> 131 Calls
So 131 more Calls than last month.
Correct Answer: Rs. 1595.14
Explanation:
Ratio of the share of a lady, a gents and a girl is 7 : 4 : 3
No of ladies, gents and girls are 5, 3, 3
Thus effective ratio of ladies, gents and girls is 7 x 5 : 4 x 3 : 3 x 3 = 35 : 12 : 9
so part of gents = (12/56) x 7444 = Rs. 1595.142
so part of 1 gents = 1595.142/3 = Rs. 531.71.
Correct Answer: 9

(3P - 100) and (4P - 100)
The ratio of their expenditure = 1:2
(3P - 100):(4P - 100) = 1:2
2P = 100 => P = 50
Their incomes = 150, 200
Correct Answer: 1 : 4 : 6
