A supplies whole of the capital amounting to Rs. 45000 with the condition that the profits to be equally divided and that B pays A interest on half of the capital at 10% per annum, but receives Rs. 120 per month for carrying on the concern.Find their total yearly profit when B's income is one half of A's income.

Answer

Let the total profit be Rs. x


Amount paid to B as salary = (120 x 12)


                                       = Rs.1440


Share of each = \inline (\frac{x-1440}{2})


Interest paid by B = \inline \frac{22500\times 10}{100}=Rs.2250


Total money received by  A = \inline \frac{x-1440}{2}+2250


                                       = Rs.\inline (\frac{x+3060}{2})


Total money received by B


\inline [(\frac{x-1440}{2})+1440-2250]= (\frac{x-3060}{2})


\inline \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}-(\frac{x+3060}{2})-(\frac{x-3060}{2})


\inline \Rightarrow x=9180

Q:

In how many ways can 5 different toys be packed in 3 identical boxes such that no box is empty, if any of the boxes may hold all of the toys ?

A) 36 B) 25
C) 24 D) 72
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25

Explanation:

The toys are different; The boxes are identical 

 

If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways 

a. 2, 2, 1 

b. 3, 1, 1 

 

Case a. Number of ways of achieving the first option 2 - 2 - 1 

 

Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C2 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in 3C2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1C1 way. 

 

However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2 

 

Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2 - 2 - 1 option is ways 5C2*3C2= 15 ways

 

 

Case b. Number of ways of achieving the second option 3 - 1 - 1

 

Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C3 ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way.

 

Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3 - 1 - 1 option is 5C3 = 10 = 10 ways.

 

 

 

Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes

 

= number of ways of achieving Case a + number of ways of achieving Case b= 15 + 10 = 25 ways.
