Q:

Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is :

A) 83 B) 89
C) 85 D) 79
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 85

Explanation:

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F of 551 and 1073 = 29;
First number = 551/29 = 19
Third number = 1073/29 = 37.
Required sum = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85.

Q:

A, B and C started a company where their initial investments was in the ratio of 2:3:4. At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment. If the annual profit of B is Rs. 3000 then what is the total profit of the company ?

A) Rs. 9500 B) Rs. 10600
C) Rs. 7500 D) Rs. 8900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 9500

Explanation:

Given initial investments ratio = 2 : 3 : 4

At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment

i.e, upto 6 months A's investment is 2 and after 6 months his invstment is 3 = B's investment

Now, Ratio of investment for one year

=> A : B : C = (2×6 + 3×6) : (3×12) : (4×12)

= 30 : 36 : 48

= 5 : 6 : 8

But given B's profit = 3000

=> 6 ratio = 3000

For total => 19 ratio = Rs. 9500.

Q:

If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of these numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers is equal to ?

A) 13/125 B) 14/57
C) 11/120 D) 16/41
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11/120

Explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.
We know that product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM
Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.
=> The required sum = (1/a) + (1/b) = (a+b)/ab
=55/600 = 11/120
