- Question
The incomes of two persons A and B are in the ratio 3:4. If each saves Rs.100 per month, the ratio of their expenditures is 1:2. Find their incomes ?
Options- A. 200, 400
- B. 100, 300
- C. 100, 200
- D. 150, 200
- Correct Answer
- 150, 200
ExplanationThe incomes of A and B be 3P and 4P.
Expenditures = Income - Savings
(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: 9
Explanation:
Here the number of cogs is inveresly proportional to number of revolutions
=> More cogs less revolution
=> 6 : 14 :: x : 21
=> (21x6)/14 = 9
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: 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. 10,500
Explanation:
The ratio of distribution should be:
21 x 15 : 15 x 35 : 35 x 21
= 315 : 525 : 735
= 3 : 5 : 7
The smallest share will be of worth:
3/15 x 52,500 = Rs. 10,500
Correct Answer: 54
Correct Answer: 1 : 4 : 6
Correct Answer: 3:2:4
Explanation:
Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y
Also
Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz +
2yz = xy +
2z = x + y
Only option (B) satisfies the equation.
Correct Answer: 16/25
Explanation:
If there are total 100 candidates,
40 candidates are really capable and
60 candidates are incapable.
Of the candidates who are really capable = 80%
40*(80/100)=32 pass the test and
of the incapable= 30%
60*(30/100)=18 pass the test.
Total candidates who passed the test = 32+18 = 50
The proportion of the really capable students who can pass the test to the total students who can pass = 32/50 = 16/25.
Correct Answer: 35 : 103
Explanation:
Santhosh's investment = 6000 x 70/100 = Rs.4200
Rajitha's investment = 4200 x 5/4 = Rs.5250
Therefore, total amount invested = 6000 + 4200 + 5250 = Rs.15450.
Required ratio = 5250 : 15450 = 35 : 103.
Correct Answer: 1 : 1 : 2
