Correct Answer: 6 : 10 : 5
Explanation:
Let investment of A = 3N
? Investment of B = 5N
Investment of C = 5N
As we know,
Ratio of profits = Ratio of investments
? A's share : B's share : C's share
= 3N x 12 : 5N x 12 : 5N x (12 - 6)
= 3N x 12 : 5N x 12 : 5N x 6
= 6 : 10 : 5
Correct Answer: ? 20000
Explanation:
Ajay's share : Vijay's share
= 25000 x 12 : 30000 x (12 - 3)
= 25 x 12 : 30 x 9 = 10 : 9
Ajay's share = 10/(10 + 9) x 38000
= 10/19 x 38000
= 10 x 2000 = ? 20000
Correct Answer: ? 16400
Explanation:
As we know,
Ratio of profits = Ratio of investments
? Srikant's share : Vividh's share = 185000 : 225000 = 37 : 45
Let Srikant's share = 37N
Vividh share = 45N
According to the question,
45N = 9000
? N = 9000/45 = 200
? Total profit = 37N + 45N = 82N
= 82 x 200 = ? 16400
Correct Answer: Rs. 233364.71
Explanation:
Let the initial investment of A, B, C be Rs. 3k, Rs. 5k and Rs. 7k respectivily.
Then, (3k - 45600) : 5k : (7k + 337600) = 14 : 59 : 167
? (3k - 45600) / 5k = 14 / 29
? k = 77788.24
? A investment initially Rs. (77788.24 x 3) = Rs. 233364.71
Correct Answer: Rs. 1625
Explanation:
Ratio of rent = (18 x 4) : (25 x 2) : (28 x 5) : (21 x 3)
= 72 : 50 : 140 : 63
Let the total rent = Rs. N
Then A's share = Rs. (N x 72)/325 = Rs. 72N / 325
? 72N / 325 = 360
? N = (325 x 360)/72 = Rs. 1625
Correct Answer: Data inadequate
Explanation:
Time is not given in the question. So, we cannot find the profit of Ramesh. Hence, the data is inadequate.
Correct Answer: ? 3250
Explanation:
Ratio of rents of A, B, C and D
= (18 x 4) : (25 x 2) : (28 x 5) : (21 x 3)
= 72 : 50 : 140 : 63
Let the total rent be N.
Then, A's share = [72N / (72 + 50 + 140 + 63)] = 72N/325
According to the question. 72N/325 = 720
? N = (720 x 325)/72 = 3250
? Total Rent = ? 3250
Correct Answer: 8 : 4 : 1
Explanation:
Here, p1 : p2 : p3 = 5 : 3 : 1 and x1 : x2 : x3 = 5 : 6 : 8
According to the formula,
Required ratio = p1/x1 : p2/x2 : p3/x3
= 5/5 : 3/6 : 1/8
= 1 : 1/2 : 1/8 = 8 : 8/2 : 8/8 = 8 : 4 : 1
Correct Answer: ? 2000
Explanation:
Let share of Raghu be 100. Then share of Mona = 90 and share of Sonu = 99
Sonu : Mona : Raghu = 99 : 90 : 100
? Investment of Raghu = [100/(99 + 90 + 100)] x 5780
= (100/289) x 5780 = ? 2000
Correct Answer: ? 1000
Explanation:
Let the total profit be ? N,
Then, A's share in profit = ? 3N/5
Remaining profit = N - 3N/5 = (5N - 3N) / 5 = 2N/5
? B's share in profit = ? N/5
C's share in profit = ? N/5
According to the question,
(3N/5 - N/5) = 400
2N/5 = 400; N = (400 x 5)/2 = ? 1000
