Q:

A,B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio $\frac{7}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{6}{5}$ . After 4 months, A increases his share by 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 21600, then B's share in the profit is :

A) Rs. 4000	B) Rs. 6000
C) Rs. 9000	D) Rs. 3000

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4000

Explanation:

Given ratio of initial investments = $\frac{7}{2} : \frac{4}{3} : \frac{6}{5}$ = 105 : 40 : 36.

Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.

$∴ A : B : C = (105 x \times 4 + \frac{150}{100} \times 105 x \times 8) : (40 x \times 12) : (36 x \times 12)$

= 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.

Hence, B's share = $(21600 \times \frac{10}{54})$ = Rs. 4000.

Q:

Three milkmen rented a pasture. A grazed 24 cows for 4 months; B 10 cows for 6 months; C 56 cows for 5 months. If A's share of rent is Rs. 960, find the total rent of the field?

A) 4530	B) 4440
C) 4360	D) 4280

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4360

Explanation:

Ratio of shares of A,B,C = (24 x 4) : (10 x 6) : (56 x 5)

= 96 : 60 : 280.

Let total rent be Rs. x. Then, A's share = $R s . \frac{96 x}{436}$

$∴ \frac{96 x}{436} = 960 \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{960 \times 436}{96} = 4360$

Hence total rent of the field is Rs. 4360.

A) 20	B) 15
C) 25	D) 30

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 25

Explanation:

a+b=5 ...(1) and 3a+2b=20 ...(2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and subtracting from (2), we get : a=10.

Putting a=10 in (1), we get : b=-5

Therefore, (3a+b) = 3 x 10+(-5)=30-5=25.
