Q:

Ten years ago, A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3:4, then what will be the total of their present ages?

Answer

Let A's age 10 years ago be x years 


Then B's age 10 years ago  be 2x yeats


\inline \Rightarrow \frac{x+10}{2x+10}=\frac{3}{4}


\inline \Rightarrow 4(x+10)=3(2x+10)


\inline \Rightarrow x=5


\inline \therefore Total of their present ages =                                        


                                          = 


                                          = 35 years

Q:

Munna and Chinna are partners in a firm out of which Munna is sleeping partner and Chinna is working partner. Munna invests Rs. 1,40,000 and Chinna invests Rs. 80,000. Chinna receives 14.5% of profit for managing the business and the rest is shared between both in ratio of their investments. Munna's share in the profit of Rs. 19600 is ?

A) Rs. 9580.25 B) Rs. 10600
C) Rs. 10664.15 D) Rs. 11060.48
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 10664.15

Explanation:

Profit received by Chinna as working partner = 14.5% of Rs. 19600

= 14.5x19600/100 = Rs. 2842

Balance in profit = 19600-2842 = Rs. 16758

Ratio of investment of Chinna & Munna = 80,000 : 1,40,000 = 4 : 7

Hence share of Chinna in investment = 4x16758/100 = Rs. 6093.85

Therefore, Share of Munna = 19600 - 2842 - 6093.85 = Rs. 10664.15
