Q:

How many prime numbers exist in $6^{5} \times 35^{9} \times 11^{3}$ ?

A) 29	B) 31
C) 33	D) 27

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 31

Explanation:

Given $6^{5} \times 35^{9} \times 11^{3}$

$\Rightarrow {(2 \times 3)}^{5} \times {(5 \times 7)}^{9} \times 11^{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2^{5} \times 3^{5} \times 5^{9} \times 7^{9} \times 11^{3}$

Thus, there are (5 + 5 + 9 + 9 + 3)= 31 prime numbers.

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.

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.
