Sekar: Rajeev: jatin = (25000×12+35000×12+45000×12):(35000×24) : (35000×12)

= 1260000 : 840000 : 420000

= 3 : 2 : 1.

Rajeev's Share =Rs.(150000×2/6)

=Rs.50000.

Q:

8 litres are drawn from a cask full of wine and is then filled with water. This operation is performed three more times. The ratio of the quantity of wine now left in cask to that of the water is 16 : 65. How much wine the cask hold originally?

A) 18 litres	B) 24 litres
C) 32 litres	D) 42 litres

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24 litres

Explanation:

Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres

Then, quantity of wine left in cask after 4 operations = $[x {(1 - \frac{8}{x})}^{4}]$ litres

$∴ [\frac{x {(1 - \frac{8}{x})}^{4}}{x}] = \frac{16}{81}$

$\Rightarrow {[1 - \frac{8}{x}]}^{4} = {(\frac{2}{3})}^{4}$

$\Rightarrow x = 24$

Q:

A thief is noticed by a policeman from a distance of 200 m. The thief starts running and the policeman chases him. The thief and the policeman run at the rate of 10 km and 11 km per hour respectively. What is the distance between them after 6 minutes?

A) 100 m	B) 150 m
C) 190 m	D) 200 m

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 100 m

Explanation:

Relative speed of the thief and policeman = (11 – 10) km/hr = 1 km/hr

Distance covered in 6 minutes = (1/60) x 6 km = 1/10 km = 100 m

Therefore, Distance between the thief and policeman = (200 – 100) m = 100 m.
