Q:

Ravi, Anand and Pranay are running a business firm in partnership. What is Anand's share in the profit earned by them?

a. Ravi, Anand and Pranay invested the amounts in the ratio of 2 : 4 : 7.

b. Pranay's share in the profit is Rs. 8750.

A) Only a is sufficient	B) Neither a nor b is sufficient
C) Only b is sufficient	D) Both a and b sufficient

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both a and b sufficient

Explanation:

Given Pranay's profit in the share is Rs. 8750

But given that their investments are in the ratio 2:4:7

$\frac{7}{13} \times P$ = 8750

P = 16250

Now Anand's share = $\frac{4}{13} \times 16250$ = Rs.5000

Thus both staements a and b are sufficient to answer this question.

Q:

In a certain Business, the profit is 220% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A) 61%	B) 75%
C) 55%	D) 81%

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 61%

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220,

S.P. = Rs.320.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

Required percentage = $\frac{195}{320} \times 100$ == 60.9 =~ 61%

Q:

The cost price of 40 Magazines is the same as the selling price of 'P' articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of 'P' is:

A) 32	B) 40
C) 16	D) 30

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each Magazine be Rs. 1

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P.

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

Now, Gain% = $\frac{P r o f i t}{C . P} \times 100$ = $\frac{40 - P}{P} \times 100$

Here $\frac{40 - P}{P} \times 100$ = 25

-->P = 32.

4 is father of 1 and grandfather of 6. So, 1 is father of 6. Thus, 4 and 1 are the two fathers.
3 is the sister of 6. So, 3 is the daughter of 1. Since there is only one mother, it is evident that 5 is the wife of 1 and hence the mother of 3 and 6. So, 2 is brother of 1. There are three brothers. So, 6 is the brother of 3. Hence, 2 and 1 are brothers. 6 is the brother of 3. So, three brothers are 1, 2, 6.
