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?
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.
The ratio of volume of a cone to that of a cylinder if cylinder radius is reduced by 4 times and its height increased by 8 times of that of the cone, is -
Ans. Let radius of the base and height of the cone be ‘r’ & ‘h’ respectively.
Then volume of cone = πr2h/3 For cylinder, radius is reduced by 4 times = r/4 And, height is increased by 8 folds = 8h Volume of cylinder = πR2H = π(r/4)2 (8h) = (16/8)πr2h = πr2h/2 Ratio of volume of cone to volume of cylinder = (πr2h/3) : (πr2h/2) Or, Ratio = 2 : 3.

Explanation:
‘has’ is incorrectly used since the sentence is in past tense. Moreover, the subject is cities, which is plural.
Options A, C and E in the absence of a proper subject add the ‘bag’ automatically to the verb ‘racing for the bus’. So, it does not make any sense as it would mean that the bag is racing for the bus. Option B is incorrect because of the fragment ‘making the documents lose’. Option D doesn't convey the proper meaning.
