Q:

Rs. 2018 are to be divided among P, Q and R in such a way that if P gets Rs. 5 then Q must get Rs. 12 and if Q gets Rs. 4 then R must get Rs. 5.50. The share of R will exceed that of Q by

A) Rs. 127 B) Rs. 271
C) Rs. 721 D) Rs. 217
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 271

Explanation:

ATQ,

P : Q = 5 : 12 = 10 : 24

Q : R = 4 : 5.5 = 24 : 33

P:Q:R = 10 : 24 : 33

Sum of the ratios = 10 + 24 + 33 = 67

Difference between the share of R & Q

= (33-24/67 x 2018)

= 9/67 x 2018

= Rs. 271.

Q:

Negative plus a positive equals

A) negative B) positive
C) zero D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Can't be determined

Explanation:

We know that a negative value plus a positive value always count backward and the sign depends on the bigger value sign.

When you are adding a negative number to a positive number, then the value counts backward and takes the sign of the biggest number.

 

For example::

Adding -5 and +2

-5 + 2 = -3 (big number is 5 and its sign is '-')

 

Adding -3 and  +5

+5 + (-3) = 5 - 3 = +2(big number is 5 and it has sign '+').
