Q:

The number of oranges in three baskets are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5. In which ratio the no. of oranges in first two baskets must be increased so that the new ratio becomes 5 : 4 : 3?

A) 1:3	B) 2:1
C) 3:4	D) 2:3

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:1

Explanation:

Let, B1 : B2 : B3 = 3x : 4x : 5x

again B1 : B2 : B3 = 5y : 4y : 3y

Since there is increase in no.of oranges in first two baskets only, it means the no. of oranges remains constant in the third basket

Therefore, 5x = 3y

Hence 3x : 4x : 5x => $\frac{9 y}{5} : \frac{12 y}{5} : \frac{15 y}{5}$ = 9y:12y:15y

and 5y : 4y : 3y => 25x : 20x : 15x

Therfore, increment in first basket = 16

Increment in second basket = 8

Thus, required ratio = 16/8 = 2:1

Q:

In Maa Yatri Temple every devotee offers fruits to the orphans. Thus every orphan receives bananas, oranges and grapes in the ratio of 3:2:7 in terms of dozens. But the weight of a grape is 24 gm and weight of a banana and an orange are in the ratio of 4:5, while the weight of an orangeis 150gm. Find the ratio of all the three fruits in terms of weight, that an orphan gets

A) 90:75:42	B) 180:150:82
C) 75:42:90	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of these

Explanation:

Ratio of fruits (by dozen) = 3:2:7

Ratio of fruits (by weight) = 120 :150: 24

Therefore, Ratio of fruits (combined) by weight = 3 x 120 : 2 x 150 : 7 x 24 = 30 : 25 : 14

Q:

6 pumps of kirlosker can fill a tank in 7 days and 2 similar pumps of USHA can fill the same tank in 18 days. what is the ratio of the efficiency of a kirlosker pump and a USHA pump?

A) 6:7	B) 7:6
C) 7:54	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6:7

Explanation:

The number of days required by a single kirlosker pump to fill the tank = 6 x 7 =42 days and the number of days required by a single USHA pump to fill the same tank = 2 x 18 =36 days.

Now , since efficiency is inversely proportional to the number of days. Hence,

$\frac{E f f i c i e n c y o f o n e K - p u m p}{E f f i c i e n c y o f U - p u m p} = \frac{36}{42} = \frac{6}{7}$

Q:

A child has three different kinds of chocolates costing Rs.2, Rs.5, Rs.10. He spends total Rs. 120 on the chocolates. what is the minimum possible number of chocolates he can buy, if there must be atleast one chocolate of each kind?

A) 22	B) 19
C) 17	D) 15

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 17

Explanation:

Minimum number of chocolates are possible when he purchases maximum number of costliest chocolates.

Thus, 2 x 5 + 5 x 2 =Rs.20

Now Rs.100 must be spend on 10 chocolates as 100 = 10 x 10.

Thus minumum number of chocolates = 5 + 2 + 10 = 17

Q:

A rectangular courtyard 3.78 meters long 5.25 meters wide is to be paved exactly with square tiles, all of the same size. what is the largest size of the tile which could be used for the purpose?

A) 14 cms	B) 21 cms
C) 42 cms	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 21 cms

Explanation:

3.78 meters =378 cm = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7

5.25 meters=525 cm = 5 × 5 × 3 × 7

Hence common factors are 3 and 7

Hence LCM = 3 × 7 = 21

Hence largest size of square tiles that can be paved exactly with square tiles is 21 cm.
