  • Question 1/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    The ratio of the number of students of three class is 2 : 3 : 4. If 12 students are increased in each class then the ratio of number of students in three classes becomes 8 : 11 : 14 respectively. Find the total number of students of all the three classes before adding 12 students in each class?
    Solutions

    Given:

    Initially the ratio of number of students = 2 : 3 : 4

    After adding 12 students in each class, the ratio becomes = 8 : 11 : 14

    Calculation:

    Let number of students in each class be 2x, 3x and 4x respectively.

    After adding 12 students in each class, the number of students becomes 2x + 12, 3x + 12, 4x + 12

    After adding 12 students in each class, the ratio becomes = 8 : 11 : 14

    So, equating the ratio of first two classes:

    2x + 12 : 3x + 12 = 8 : 11

    2x + 12 / 3x + 12 = 8 / 11

    22x + 132 = 24x + 96

    2x = 36

    x = 18

    So, we get the number of students in each class before adding 12 students as:

    2x = 2 × 18 = 36

    3x = 3 × 18 = 54

    4x = 4 × 18 = 72

    So, the total number of students before adding 12 students in each class = 2x + 3x + 4x = 9x = 9 × 18 = 162

    Hence, option 1 is correct.

  • Question 2/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Divide 1320 rupees among 7 men, 11 women and 5 boys so that a woman get three times of a child's share and a man receives a sum equal to the share of woman and a boy. Find the share of each person.
    Solutions

    Given:

    Total amount=1320 rupees

    There are 7 men, 11 women and 5 boys.

    Calculation:

    Let share of each man, woman and boy be x, y and z respectively.

    Total share of 7 men, 11 women and 5 boys=7x + 11y + 5z = 1320 rupees  ---------(1.)

    It is given that share of a woman is 3 times that of a boy, i.e. y = 3z   ---------(2.)

    It is given that a man receives a sum equal to the share of a woman and a boy i.e. x = y + z  ---------(3.)

    Putting equation 2 in equation 3, we get,

    x = 3z + z = 4z ---------(4.)

    Putting equation 4 and equation 2 in equation 1, we get,

    7 × 4z + 11 × 3z + 5z = 1320

    28z + 33z + 5z = 1320

    66z = 1320

    z = 20

    Putting value of z in equation 4, we get value of x,

    x = 4z = 4 × 20 = 80

    Putting value of z in equation 2, we get value of y,

    y = 3z = 3 × 20 = 60

    The shares of each man, woman and boy are 80, 60 and 20 respectively.

    Hence, option 1 is correct. 

  • Question 3/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Jack choose three numbers J, O and Y such that when we add them the answer is 118. The ratio between J and O is 3 : 4  and between O and Y is 5 : 6. What is the value of O?
    Solutions

    Given:

    The sum of three nos. J, O and Y is 118.

    The ratio between J and O is 3 : 4.

    The ratio between O and Y is 5 : 6.

    Formula Used:

    Simple concept of Ratio.

    Calculation:

    It is given that, J + O + Y = 118       ----(1)

    And, J/O = 3/4

    ⇒ J = (3 × O)/4

    Also, O/Y = 5/6

    ⇒ Y = (6 × O)/5

    Put the values of J and Y in eq. (1)

    (3 × O)/4 + O + (6 × O)/5 = 118

    ⇒ (59/20) × O = 118

    ⇒ O = 118 × 20 / 59

    ⇒ O = 40

    ∴ The value of the second number O is 40.

    Alternate Method

    J : O = 3 : 4       ----(i)

    O : Y = 5 : 6       ----(ii)

    To make the value of O in both the ratios, We have to multiply 5 with equation (i) and 4 with equation (ii)

    5 × (J : O) = 15 : 20

    4 × (O : Y) = 20 : 24

    So, J : O : Y = 15 : 20 : 24

    Let J = 15x

    O = 20x

    Y = 24x

    15x + 20x + 24x = 118

    ⇒ 59x = 118

    ⇒ x = 2

    So, value of O = 20 × 2 = 40

    ∴ value of O is 40

  • Question 4/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    In 729 litres solution of acid and water, the ratio of acid and water is 7 : 2. How many litres of water must be added to it to get the solution in which the ratio of acid and water is 5 : 3?
    Solutions

    Quantity of acid in the solution = 729 × 7/9 = 567 litres

    Quantity of water in the solution = 729 - 567 = 162 litres

    Let quantity of added water be x, then

    ⇒ 567/(162 + x) = 5/3

    ⇒ 3 × 567 = 5 × 162 + 5x

    ⇒ 1701 = 810 + 5x

    ⇒ 5x = 1701 - 810

    ⇒ x = 178.2

    ∴ The quantity of added water is 178.2 litres.
  • Question 5/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Rs. 2025 is distributed between A, B and C in the ratio of 13 ∶ 9 ∶ 3. Find the difference between the shares of A and C.
    Solutions

    Given:

    A ∶ B ∶ C = 3 : 9 : 13

    Total amount = Rs. 2025

    Calculation:

    Let the share of A, B, and C be 13x, 9x and 3x respectively

    Total share of A, B, and C = (13x + 9x + 3x) = 25x

    Now, Total amount = Rs. 2025

    So, 25x = 2025

    ⇒ x = 81

    Difference between share of A and share of C = (13x – 3x) = 10x

    So, 10x = 10 × 81 

    ⇒ Rs. 810

    ∴ Difference between share of A and share of C is Rs. 810

  • Question 6/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    The ratio of boys and girls in a group is 7 : 6. If 4 more boys join the group and 3 girls leave the group, then the ratio of boys to girls becomes 4 : 3. What is the total number of boys and girls initially in the group?
    Solutions

    The ratio of boys and girls in a group is = 7x : 6x

    According to the question

    (7x + 4)/(6x – 3) = 4/3

    ⇒ 3 (7x + 4) = 4 (6x – 3)

    ⇒ 21x + 12 = 24x – 12

    ⇒ 24x – 21x = 12 + 12

    ⇒ 3x = 24

    ⇒ x = 24/3 = 8

    ∴ Number of boys and girls in the group were = 7x + 6x = 13x = 13 × 8 = 104
  • Question 7/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 126 years. 8 years ago their respective ages were in the ratio of 7 : 4. After 7 years what will be the ratio of ages of father and son?
    Solutions

    ∵ 8 year ago the ratio of age of father and his son was 7 : 4

    Let the father and son age be 7x and 4x respectivily

    Present age of father and son is (7x + 8) and (4x + 8) respectivily

    According to question,

    (7x + 8) + (4x + 8) = 126

    ⇒ 11x + 16 = 126

    ⇒ x = 10

    Present age of father = (7x + 8) = 78 years and present age of son = (4x + 8) = 48 years

    After 7 years, father = 78 + 7 = 85 years and son = 48 + 7 = 55 years

    ∴ After 7 years the ratio of ages of father and son = 85 : 55 = 17 : 11
  • Question 8/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    A man distributed his whole money between his three daughters Sakshi, Priya and Suhani in the ratio of 7 : 11 : 9 respectively. If the total amount the man had was Rs. 8910, then find the difference between the share of Priya and Suhani.
    Solutions

    Given:

    Total amount the man had = Rs. 8910

    Ratio of shares between his three daughters Sakshi, Priya and Suhani = 7 : 11 : 9

    Calculation:

    Let the share of Sakshi, Priya and Suhani be 7x, 11x and 9x respectively

    Total share of 3 daughters = (7x + 11x + 9x)

    ⇒ 27x

    Now, difference between share of Priya and Suhani = 11x – 9x

    ⇒ 2x

    Now, according to question

    27x = Rs. 8910

    ⇒ 2x = (8910/27x) × 2x

    ⇒ Rs. (330 × 2)

    ⇒ Rs. 660

    ∴ The difference between share of Priya and Suhani is Rs. 660

  • Question 9/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    The average weight of a ring is 10 gm which contains gold and copper in the ratio of 9.5 : 0.5. What would be the weight of copper in the ring weighing 8 grams if the same ratio is to be maintained?
    Solutions

    Given:

    The average weight of ring = 10 gm

    Ring contains gold and copper in the ratio of 9.5 : 0.5

    Calculation:

    Ring contains gold and copper in the ratio of (9.5 : 0.5) × 2 = 19 : 1  ...........(Ratio multiplied with 2 to remove the decimal ratios)

    if the ratio of gold and copper = 19 : 1, then Let the new wight of ring be 10 × 2 = 20 gm

    20 gm of the ring contains 19 gram gold and 1 gram copper

    Now, the weight of the new ring = 8 gm

    The same ratio of gold and copper is to be maintained, i.e., 19 : 1

    Weight of copper = [1/(19 + 1)] × 8 gm = 8/20 gm = 0.4 gram

  • Question 10/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    In a family, there are three brothers A, B, C. B earns as much more than A as C earns more than B. The ratio of A’s and C’s income is 7 ∶ 11 and the sum of A and C income is 72,000/-. Then, what can the income of B?
    Solutions

    Given:

    The income of A and C = 7 ∶ 11

    Sum of Income of A and C = 72,000/-

    The income of B – Income of A = Income of C – Income of B

    Concept:

    The gap of income of A, B, C is equal, i.e, if A ∶ B ∶ C, then B – A = C – B.

    Calculation:

    Let the income of A = 7x

    Income of C = 11x

    ∵ Income of (A + C) = 72,000/-

    ⇒ 7x + 11x = 72,000

    ⇒ 18x = 72,000

    ⇒ x = 72,000/18 = 4000

    ∴ Income of A = 7x = 7 × 4000 = 28,000/-

    Income of C = 11x = 11 × 4000 = 44,000/-

    ∴ Income of B – 28,000 = 44,000 – Income of B

    ⇒ 2(Income of B) = 72,000/-

    ⇒ Income of B = 72,000/2 = 36,000/-
