Correct Answer: 2 : 3 : 3
Correct Answer: Quantity I < Quantity II
Explanation:
Quantity I= Let the three numbers will be 5x, 6x and 10x respectively
ATQ
10x+5x?6x=126
9x=126 X=14
So largest number =10x=10×14=140
Quantity II=let x and y are two numbers
ATQ
12% of x=25%of y And their difference is 78
So first no.=150 2nd no.=72
Hence Quantity I < Quantity II
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Let monthly salary of Pia = Rs.500x => Monthly salary of Som = Rs.400x Amount given by Pia to her mother = 3/5 * 500x = 300x Amount for her sister tuition fees = 15*500x/100 = 75x Amount for loan = 18*500x/100 = 90x => Amount left = 500x ?(300x +75x +90x) = 2100 => 500x - 465x = 35x = 2100 => x = 2100/35 = 60 Therefore, Som's salary = 400 x 60 = Rs. 24,000
