If the place of all the digits are replaced with each other symmetrically about the tens position,then the new number obtained is 396 more than the original three digit number. The sum of the digits at unit & hundredth place is 14. Find out the original number?

C) 439 D) 613
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 539

Explanation:

Ans.
Let digit = xyz
Given y = 3
According to the question = (100z+10y+x) - (100x+10y+z) = 396x99z-99x = 396
Z-x = 4
Also, Z+ x = 14
Solving (i) & (ii)
Z = 9 , x= 5
The original number is 539

Q:

In a business, A invested 1200 rs. more than B. B invested his amount for 15 months while A invested for 4 months more than that of B. If total profit was 1240 rs. in which the profit of B is 280 Rs. less than that if A. then what was the invested amount of A?

A) 6000 B) 7000
C) 5000 D) 8000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6000

Explanation:

Ans. 
Let B’s investment = x rs.
∴ A’s investment =( x + 1200) rs.
Ratio of the profits of A and B = (x+1200)*(15+4):x*15 = {19(x+1200)}:15x
Now,let the total profit of A =y
∴ total profit of B = (y-280)
But total profit = 1240
⇒y+(y-280)=1240
⇒2y=1520
⇒y= 760
∴profit of A = 760rs.
Profit of B = 760-280=480 rs.
Ratio of profits= 760:480 = 19:12
According to the question,

19(x+1200)/15x = 19/12

12x+14400 = 15x

⇒3x = 14400
⇒x = 4800 rs.
⇒investment of A = 4800+1200
                          = 6000 rs.
