A) 521 B) 720
C) 420 D) 225
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 720

Let last digit is 2
when second last digit is 4 remaining 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways, similarly second last digit is 6 remained 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways.
so for last digit = 2, total numbers=240

 

Similarly for 4 and 6
When last digit = 4, total no. of ways =240
and last digit = 6, total no. of ways =240
so total of 720 even numbers are possible.

Q:

In a business, A and C invested amounts in the ratio 2:1, whereas the ratio between amounts invested by A and B was 3:2. If Rs. 1,57,300 was their profit, how much amount did B receive ?

A) 48400 B) 54200
C) 64000 D) 74000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 48400

Explanation:

A : B = 3 : 2 => B : A = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 and A : C = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3.

So, B : A : C = 4 : 6 : 3 or A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3.

B's share = Rs. (157300 x 4/13 ) = Rs. 48400.

Q:

In a one km race A gives B a start of 100m and in a one km race B gives a start of 80 m to C. In a 1 km race who will win and by how much distance from the worst performer between two losers?

Answer

Ratio  of speeds of A:B = 1000:900 = 100:90


Ratio of speeds of B:C = 1000:920 = 100:92


Therefore, when A moves 1000m , B moves 900 m and when B moves 900m, C moves 828m


Thus,             


Since , C moves 8 % less than B in the same time . Thus, C is the worst performer and A will win by him by 172 m
