Q:

Rs.1200 divided among P, Q and R. P gets half of the total amount received by Q and R. Q gets one-third of the total amount received by P and R. Find the amount received by R ?

A) Rs. 1100 B) Rs. 500
C) Rs. 1200 D) Rs. 700
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 500

Explanation:

Let the amounts to be received by P, Q and R be p, q and r.
p + q + r = 1200
p = 1/2 (q + r) => 2p = q + r

Adding 'p' both sides, 3p = p + q + r = 1200
=> p = Rs.400

q = 1/3 (p + r) => 3q = p + r

Adding 'q' both sides, 4q = p + q + r = 1200
=> q = Rs.300

r = 1200 - (p + q) => r = Rs.500.

Q:

The difference of two numbers is 14. Their LCM and HCF are 441 and 7. Find the two numbers ?

A) 63 and 49 B) 64 and 48
C) 62 and 46 D) 64 and 49
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 63 and 49

Explanation:

Since their HCFs are 7, numbers are divisible by 7 and are of the form 7x and 7y

Difference = 14
=> 7x - 7y = 14
=> x - y = 2

product of numbers = product of their hcf and lcm
=> 7x * 7y = 441 * 7
=> x * y = 63

Now, we have
x * y = 63 , x - y = 2
=> x = 9 , y = 7

The numbers are 7x and 7y
=> 63 and 49
