A) 10 B) 12
C) 14 D) 16

Part filled in 2 hours = 2/6=1/3

 

Remaining part =1-13=23

 

 (A + B)'s 7 hour's work = 2/3

 

(A + B)'s 1 hour's work = 2/21

 

C's 1 hour's work = { (A + B + C)'s 1 hour's work } - { (A + B)'s 1 hour's work }

Q:

The number of oranges in three baskets are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5. In which ratio the no. of oranges in first two baskets must be increased so that the new ratio   becomes 5 : 4 : 3?

A) 1:3 B) 2:1
C) 3:4 D) 2:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:1

Explanation:

Let,   B1 : B2 : B3 = 3x : 4x : 5x 

 

again  B1 : B2 : B3 = 5y : 4y : 3y

 

Since there is increase in no.of oranges in first two baskets only, it means the no. of oranges remains constant in the third basket

 

Therefore,   5x = 3y

 

Hence    3x : 4x : 5x   =>   9y5:12y5:15y5 = 9y:12y:15y

 

and       5y : 4y : 3y   =>   25x : 20x : 15x

 

Therfore, increment in first basket = 16

 

Increment in second basket = 8

 

Thus, required ratio = 16/8 = 2:1
