- 2. If 3 is added to the denominator of a fraction, it becomes 1/3 and if 4 be added to its numerator, It becomes 3/4, then fraction is?
Options- A. 4/9
- B. 3/20
- C. 7/24
- D. 5/12 Discuss
Correct Answer: 5/12
Explanation:
Let the required fraction be p/q
? p / (q + 3) = 1/3
? 3p - q = 3 ...(i)
and, (p + 4) / q = 3/4
? 4p - 3q = -16 ...(ii)
Solving these equations, we get p = 5, q = 12
? Required fraction = 5/12- 3. If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 2 and the denominator is increased by 1, the fraction because 5/8 and if the numerator of the same fraction is increased by 3 and the denominator is increased by 1, the fraction becomes 3/4 . What is the original fraction?
Options- A. Data inadequate
- B. 2/7
- C. 4/7
- D. 3/7 Discuss
Correct Answer: 3/7
Explanation:
Let the original fraction be p/q
Then, (p + 2) / (q + 1) = 5/8
? 8p - 5q = 11 .....(i)
Again (p + 3) / (q + 1) = 3/4
? 4p - 3q = 9 ...(ii)
Solving equations , (i) and (ii), we get ,
p = 3 and q = 7

Correct Answer:6 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1 7 6 5 7 5 3
Explanation:
We are asked to arrange the given fractions in descending order based on their value. To compare the fractions, we will convert them to a common denominator or use approximate decimal values. Here's the analysis of each option:
- 5. The price of commodity X increases by 40 paise every year, while the price of commodity Y increases by 15 paise every year. If in 2001, the price of commodity X was Rs. 4.20 and that of Y was Rs. 6.30, in which year commodity X will cost 40 paise more than the commodity Y?
Options- A. 2010
- B. 2011
- C. 2012
- D. 2013 Discuss
Correct Answer: 2011
Explanation:
Suppose commodity X will cost 40 paise more than Y after z years.Then, (4.20 + 0.40z) - (6.30 + 0.15z) = 0.40
⟹ 0.25z = 0.40 + 2.10
⟹ z = 2.50 = 250 = 10. 0.25 25 ∴ X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10 years after 2001 i.e., 2011.
- 6. If a fraction's numerator is increased by 1 and the denominator is increased by 1 and denominator is increased by 2 then the fraction becomes 2/3. But when the numerator is increased by 5 and the denominator is increased by 1, then the fraction becomes 5/4. What is the value of the original fraction?
Options- A. 3/7
- B. 5/8
- C. 5/7
- D. 6/7 Discuss
Correct Answer: 5/7
Explanation:
Let the numerator and denominator be p and q respectively.
Then, (p + 2) / (q + 3) = 7/9
? 9(p + 2) = 7(q +3)
? 9p - 7q = 3 ....(i)
Again, (p - 1) / (q - 1) = 4/5
? 5p - 4q = 1 ....(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get,
p = 5, q = 6

- 10. A man spends (1/7)th of his salary on food, half of the remaining on clothing and (1/3)rd of the remaining on entertainment. He is still left with Rs. 600. How much does he spend on entertainment?
Options- A. Rs. 600
- B. Rs. 450
- C. Rs. 300
- D. Rs. 700 Discuss
Correct Answer: Rs. 300
Explanation:
Let man's salary be Rs. N
Money spend on food =N/7
Money spends on clothing = (N - N/7) x 1/2 = (6N/7) x (1/2) =3N/7
Money spend on entertainment = (N - N/7 - 3N/7)/3 = (7N - 4N)/7 = N/7
Now, money left =600
? N - N/7 - 3N/7 - N/7 = 600
? 7N - 5N/7 = 600
? N = 600 x 7/2 = Rs. 2100
? Money spend on entertainment = 1/7 x 2100 = Rs. 300
