Rs. 7444 is divided among 5 ladies, 3 gents and 3 girls. The ratio of share of a lady, a gents and a girl is 7: 4: 3. What is the share of gents ?

A) Rs. 1595.14 B) Rs. 1793.4
C) Rs. 595.14 D) Rs. 1551.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1595.14

Explanation:

Ratio of the share of a lady, a gents and a girl is 7 : 4 : 3
No of ladies, gents and girls are 5, 3, 3
Thus effective ratio of ladies, gents and girls is 7 x 5 : 4 x 3 : 3 x 3 = 35 : 12 : 9
so part of gents = (12/56) x 7444 = Rs. 1595.142
so part of 1 gents = 1595.142/3 = Rs. 531.71.

Q:

In an election, there were two candidates only. The candidate who got 62% of the total votes polled and was elected by a majority of 192 votes. The total number of votes polled was?

Answer

Suppose total votes polled is x


\inline \Rightarrow \inline \frac{62x}{100}=\frac{38x}{100}+192


\inline \Rightarrow \frac{62x}{100}-\frac{38x}{100}=192


\inline \Rightarrow \frac{24x}{100}=192\Rightarrow x=800

Q:

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'MATHEMATICS' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?

A) 120960 B) 120000
C) 146700 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 120960

Explanation:

In the word 'MATHEMATICS', we treat the vowels AEAI as one letter.

 

Thus, we have MTHMTCS (AEAI).

 

Now, we have to arrange 8 letters, out of which M occurs twice, T occurs twice and the rest are different.

 

Number of ways of arranging these letters = 8!/(2! x 2!)= 10080.

 

Now, AEAI has 4 letters in which A occurs 2 times and the rest are different.

 

Number of ways of arranging these letters =4!/2!= 12.

 

Required number of words = (10080 x 12) = 120960
