Q:

A fires 5 shots to B's 3 but A kills only once in 3 shots while B kills once in 2 shots. When B has missed 27 times, A has killed :

A) 30 birds	B) 60 birds
C) 72 birds	D) 90 birds

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30 birds

Explanation:

Let the no of shots be x. Then,

Shots fired by A =(5/8)x

Shots fired by B = (3/8)x

Killing shots by A = 1/3 of (5/8)x = (5/24)x

Shots missed by B = 1/2 of (3/8)x = (3/16)x

(3/16)x = 27 $\Rightarrow$ x =144

Birds killed by A = (5/24)x = (5/24)*144 = 30

Q:

The highest score in an inning was 3/11 of the total and the next highest was 3/11 of the reminder . If the score differ by 9, the total score was :

A) 110	B) 121
C) 132	D) 143

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 121

Explanation:

Let the score be x. Then the highest score = 3x/11.

Reminder = (x - 3x/11) = 8x/11 .Next the highest score = 3/11 of 8x/11 = 24x/121.

3x/11 - 24x/11 = 9 <=> 33x - 24x = 9*121 <=> x= 121..
