Q:

Two partners invest Rs 12500 and Rs 8500 respectively in a business and agree that 60% of the profit should be divided equally between them and the remaining profit is to be treated as interest on capital. If one partner gets Rs 240 more than the other, find the total profit made in the business.

A) 3250 B) 4050
C) 3550 D) 3150
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3150

Explanation:

Clearly, If 60 % is equally divided then remaining 40% of total profit will be divided between 2 persons A and B in ratio of (profit of A) : (profit of B)= 12,500 : 8500 = 125 : 85 = 25:17
now difference in amount = 25-17 = 8 this difference = 240
therefore 40% of total profit = 240*(25+17)/(25-17) = 1260
∴ 100% profit = 1260 / 40 × 100 = 3150

Q:

A girl read 2/5 part of a book in 1st day, 34% in second day and remaining page in next two days. In two days she read equal number of page. If she read 52 pages on last day, then find out how many pages did the book contain?

A) 400 B) 376
C) 382 D) 356
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 400

Explanation:

1st day the girl read = 40%

2nd day she read = 34 %

Remaining percentage of book = 100% - (40% +34%) = 26%

But given last two days she read equal number of pages

=> Each day she read 26%/2 = 13%

Last day she read 52 pages = 13%

13% = 52

1% = 4

=> 100% = 400

Total pages in the book is 400.

Q:

If a person having Rs. 2000 and he want to distribute this to his five children in the manner that each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one , what will be the share of youngest child ?

A) Rs. 175 B) Rs. 325
C) Rs. 340 D) Rs. 260
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 340

Explanation:

Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x

According to the question ;
each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one

Second child will get = Rs. x + 30
Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60
Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90
Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120

Total amount they got = Rs. 2000

x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 2000
5x + 300 = 2000
5x = 1700
x = Rs. 340
So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.
