- Question
- In the certain party, there was a bowl of rice for every two guests , a bowl of juice for every three of them and a bowl of meat for every four of them. If there were all 65 bowls of food , then how many guests were there in the party?
Options- A. 65
- B. 24
- C. 60
- D. 48
- Correct Answer
- 60
ExplanationLet the number of rice bowls be a, the number of juice bowls be b, and the number of meat bowls be c.
According to question,
a + b + c = 65........................(1)
The total number of guests = 2a
The total number of guests = 3b
The total number of guests = 4c
So the total number of guests will be same in the party.
2a = 3b = 4c..........................(2)
As per Equation (2)
b = 2a/3................................(3)
c = 2a/4 = a/2......................(4)
Now put the value of b and c from Equation (3), (4) in Equation (1),
a + 2a/3 + a/2 = 65
(6a + 4a + 3a)/6 = 65
13a = 65 x 6
a = 5 x 6 = 30
Put the value of a in equation (3) and (4) in order to get the value of b and c,
b = 2 x 30/3 = 2 x 10 = 20
c = 30/2 = 15
The Total number of Guests = 2a = 3b = 4c = 60 - 1. 198.995 x 12.005 + 16.25 x 6.95 =?

Each of the number except 28, is a multiple of 3.
Correct Answer: 4171250
Explanation:
6674 x 625 = 6674 x (5)4
= 6674 x (104/24
= 66740000/16 = 4171250
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
As we know that given in question,
ax + by = 6 ........................ (i)
bx ? ay = 2 ........................ (ii)
On squaring the both equation and adding,
a2 x2 + b2 y2 + 2abxy + b2 x2 + a2 y2 ? 2abxy = 36 + 4
? x2 (a2 + b2) + y2 (a2 + b2) = 40
? (a2 + b2) (x2 + y2) = 40
As per given question, x2 + y2 = 40 , Put this value in above equation, we will get
? (a2 + b2) × 4 = 40
? a2 + b2 = 10
Correct Answer: 2/13
Explanation:
Clearly, n (S) = 52, there are 4 kings and 4 queens
? P(E) = n (E) / n (S) = 8/52 = 2/13
Correct Answer: 28
Explanation:
Lat the 4th proportional = N
Then, 4 : 16 : : 7 : N
? 4/16 = 7/N
? 4N = 7 x 16
? N = (7 x 16)/4 = 7 x 4 = 28
Correct Answer: ? 11856
Explanation:
CP = 100/70 = x 6384 = ? 9120
To gain 30%, SP = 130% of 9120
SP = (130/100) x 9120 = ? 11856
Correct Answer: 0.25
Explanation:
(2/3) x (6/8) x (2/3) x (3/4) = 1/4 = 0.25
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Second number = (LCM x HCF) / first number
= (72 x 12)/ 24 = 36
