• A school has 4 sections of class 12, such that half the number of students of 1st section, 1/3rd of 2nd section, 1/4th of 3rd section and 1/5th of the 4th section are equal. If total number of students in class 12 is 420, find the number of students in sections 1st and 2nd.
  A) 180
  B) 120
  C) 240
  D) 150
  E) 260
  Answer & Explanation

  D) 150
  Explanation: 
  Let number of students in 4 sections be A, B, C, D respectively. Then
  1/2 of A = 1/3 of b = 1/4 of C = 1/5 of D
  So A : B : C : D = 2 : 3 : 4 : 5            [When A/2 = B/3 = C/4, then ratio A: B : C = 2 : 3 : 4] So students in 1st and 2nd section = [(2+3)/(2+3+4+5)] * 420 = 150
• The income of A, B, and C are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 7. If their incomes be changed such that the new income of A is 50% increased, 25% increased for B and 25% decrease for C. Find the ratio of their new incomes. 
  A) 18 : 40 : 23
  B) 17 : 12 : 21
  C) 18 : 20 : 21
  D) 28 : 20 : 21
  E) None of these
  Answer & Explanation

  C) 18 : 20 : 21
  Explanation: 
  Previous ratio = 3 : 4 : 7
  New ratio = (150/100) * 3 : (125/100) * 4 : (75/100) * 7
• A, B and C divide Rs 4200 among themselves in the ratio 7 : 8 : 6. If Rs 200 is added to each of their shares, what is the new ratio in which they will receive the money? 
  A) 9 : 8 : 7
  B) 8 : 9 : 7
  C) 8 : 9 : 8
  D) 9 : 10 : 8
  E) 7 : 9 : 8
  Answer & Explanation

  B) 8 : 9 : 7
  Explanation: 
  A gets = [7/(7+8+6)] * 4200 = 1400
  B gets = [8/(7+8+6)] * 4200 = 1600
  C gets = [6/(7+8+6)] * 4200 = 1200
  Rs 200 added to each share, so new ratio =
  1400+200 : 1600+200 : 1200+200
  1600 : 1800 : 1400
• The ratio of the monthly salaries of A and B is in the ratio 15 : 16 and that of B and C is in the ratio 17 : 18. Find the monthly income of C if the total of their monthly salary is Rs 1,87,450. 
  A) Rs 66,240
  B) Rs 72,100
  C) Rs 62,200
  D) Rs 65,800
  E) Rs 60,300
  Answer & Explanation

  A) Rs 66,240
  Explanation: 
  A/B = 15/16 and B/C = 17*18
  So A : B : C = 15*17 : 16*17 : 16*18
  = 255 : 272 : 288
  So C’s salary = [288/(255+272+288)] * 1,87,450
• The ratio of the incomes of A and B last year was 9 : 13. Ratio of their incomes of last year to this year is 9 : 10 and 13 : 15 respectively. The sum of their present incomes is Rs 50,000. What is the present income of B? 
  A) Rs 32,000
  B) Rs 24,000
  C) Rs 20,000
  D) Rs 30,000
  E) None of these
  Answer & Explanation

  D) Rs 30,000
  Explanation: 
  Ratio of last year income to this year income of A is 9 : 10. So income of A last year is 9x and this year is 10x.
  Ratio of last year income to this year income of B is 13 : 15. So income of B last year is 13y and this year is 15y.
  So ratio of the incomes of A and B last year was 9x : 13y
  Now given that ratio of the incomes of A and B last year was 9 : 13.
  So 9x/13y = 9/13
  This gives x = y
  Total of incomes of A and B this year = 10x+15y = 10x+15x = 25 x              (because x=y)
  So 25x = 50,000
  This gives x = 2,000
  So present income of B = 15y = 15x = 15*2000 = 30,000
• A sum of Rs 315 consists of 25 paise, 50 paise and 1 Re coins in the ratio 3 : 4 :6. What is the number of each kind of coin respectively?.

  B) 108, 144, 216
  C) 27, 72, 216
  D) 120, 35, 108
  E) 102, 150, 210
  Answer & Explanation

  B) 108, 144, 216
  Explanation: 
  25 paise = 25/100 Rs, 50 paise = 50/100 Rs
  So value ratio of these coins become = 3*(25/100) : 4*(50/100) : 6*(1)
  = 3/4 : 2 : 6 = 3 : 8 : 24
  So 25 paise coins value= [3/(3+8+24)] * 315 = Rs 27, so coins = 27 * (100/25) = 108
  Similarly find others.
• Rs 650 was divided among 3 children in the ratio 2 : 4 : 7. Had it been divided in the ratio 1/2 : 1/4 : 1/7, who would have gained the most and by how much? 
  A) C, Rs 246
  B) C, Rs 264
  C) B, Rs 18
  D) A, Rs 246
  E) A, Rs 264
  Answer & Explanation

  E) A, Rs 264
  Explanation: 
  New ratio = 1/2 : 1/4 : 1/7 = 14 : 7 : 4
  So both ratio suggests that C has not gained any money, rather he has lose the money.
  For both ratio find the shares of A and B
  With ratio 2 : 4 : 7, A gets = [2/(2+4+7)] * 650 = 100, B gets = [4/(2+4+7)] * 650 = 200
  With ratio 14 : 7 : 4, A gets = [14/(14+7+4)] * 650 = 364, B gets = [7/(14+7+4)] * 650 = 182
  B has also lose the money, A gain the money and = 364 – 100 = 264
• The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in a school is 6 : 5. If 20% of boys and 45% of girls come by bus to school, what percentage of students opt transport other than bus to come to school? 
  A) 68 9/11%
  B) 68 7/11%
  C) 72 7/11%
  D) 73%
  E) 73 5/11%
  Answer & Explanation

  B) 68 7/11%
  Explanation: 
  If 20% of boys and 45% of girls come by bus, then 80% of boys and 55% of girls opt transport other than bus.
  Let total number of students in school = x
  So boys who opt other transport are (80/100) * 6/(6+5) * x = 24x/55
  And girls who opt other transport are (55/100) * 5/(6+5) * x = x/4
  So total students who opt other transport = (24x/55) + (x/4) = 151x/220
  So required % = [(151x/220)/x] * 100 = 755/11 %
• The incomes of A and B are in the ratio 1 : 2 and their expenditures are in the ratio 2 : 5. If A saves Rs 20,000 and B saves Rs 35,000, what is the total income of A and B?
  A) Rs 30,000
  B) Rs 90,000
  C) Rs 90,000
  D) Rs 60,000
  E) Rs 80,000
  Answer & Explanation

  C) Rs 90,000
  Explanation: 
  Income of A = x, of B = 2x
  Expenditure of A = 2y, of B = 5y
  Savings is (income – expenditure). So
  x – 2y = 20,000
  2x – 5y = 35,000
  Solve the equations, x = 30,000
  So total = x+2x = 3x = 3*30,000 = 90,000
• Rs 5750 is divided among A, B, and C such that if their share be reduced by Rs 10, Rs 15 and Rs 25 respectively, the reminder amounts with them shall be in the ratio 4 : 6 : 9. What was C’s share then? 
  A) Rs 2700
  B) Rs 2725
  C) Rs 2750
  D) Rs 2625
  E) None of these
  Answer & Explanation

  B) Rs 2725
  Explanation: 
  When the shares reduce, the total amount will also reduce which is to be divided among them. So after reducing shares by Rs 10, Rs 15 and Rs 25 respectively, total amount is 5750 – (10+15+25) = 5700
  So C’s share shall be [9/(4+6+9)] * 5700 = 2700
  Actually C would have received = 2700 + 25

• A bag contains 25p, 50p and 1Re coins in the ratio of 2 : 4 : 5 respectively. If the total money in the bag is Rs 75, find the number of 50p coins in the bag. 
  A) 45
  B) 50
  C) 25
  D) 40
  E) None of these
  Answer & Explanation

  D) 40
  Explanation: 
  2x, 4x, 5x
  (25/100)*2x + (50/100)*4x + 1*5x = 75
  x = 10, so 50 p coins = 4x = 40
• A is directly proportional to B and also directly proportional to C. When B = 6 and C = 2, A = 24. Find the value of A when B = 8 and C = 3. 
  A) 42
  B) 40
  C) 58
  D) 48
  E) None of these
  Answer & Explanation

  D) 48
  Explanation: 
  A directly proportional B, A directly proportional to C:
  A = kB, A = kC
  Or A = kBC
  When B = 6 and C = 2, A = 24:
  24 = k*6*2
  k = 2
  Now when B = 8 and C = 3:
  A = 2*8*3
• A is directly proportional to B and also inversely proportional to the square of C. When B = 16 and C = 2, A = 36. Find the value of A when B = 32 and C = 4. 
  A) 25
  B) 20
  C) 18
  D) 32
  E) None of these
  Answer & Explanation

  C) 18
  Explanation: 
  A = kB, A = k/C²
  Or A = kB/ C²
  When B = 16 and C = 2, A = 36:
  36 = k*16/ 2²
  k = 9
  Now when B = 32 and C = 4:
  A = 9*32/ 4²
• A is directly proportional to the inverse of B and also inversely proportional to C. When B = 36 and C = 9, A = 42. Find the value of A when B = 64 and C = 21. 
  A) 24
  B) 40
  C) 32
  D) 48
  E) None of these
  Answer & Explanation

  A) 24
  Explanation: 
  A = k√B, A = k/C
  Or A = k√B/C
  When B = 36 and C = 9, A = 42:
  42 = k√36/9
  k = 63
  Now when B = 64 and C = 21:
  A = 63*√64/21
