Q:

A sum of Rs. 4,300 is distributed among M, N and O, such that M receives 25% more than N and N receives 25% less than O. What is O’s share in the amount?

A) 1564	B) 1600
C) 1632	D) 1714

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1600

Explanation:

Let O's share = Rs. P

=> N's share = $\frac{75}{100} x P = \frac{3 P}{4}$

M's share = $\frac{5}{4} x \frac{3 P}{4} = \frac{15 P}{16}$

$\frac{15 P}{16} + \frac{3 P}{4} + P = 4300 = > P = 4300 x \frac{16}{43} = 1600$

Q:

In a triangle ABC, angle 'a' is the smallest one & A+7B = 112. Find the range of value 'c' ?

A) 138 to 164	B) 125 to 147
C) 148 to 158	D) 152 to 164

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 152 to 164

Explanation:

A+7B=112

it is clear that A = 14, then it becomes A>=B, but A is smallest angle) given
so, range of A is 0.0001 to 13.9999 ( I am taking upto 4 decimal places)
so, range of B becomes 14 to 16 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)
so, range of C becomes 152 to 164 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)

Q:

Simplyfiy : $[3 \frac{1}{4} \div \{1 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (2 \frac{1}{2} - (\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6}))\}]$

A) 78	B) 88
C) 98	D) 108

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 78

Explanation:

Given exp = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{2} - \frac{3 - 2}{12})\}]$ = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{12})\}]$

= $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{30 - 1}{12})\}]$ = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{29}{24}\}]$

= $[\frac{13}{4} \div \frac{30 - 29}{24}]$ =78

Expenditures = Income - Savings

(3P - 100) and (4P - 100)

The ratio of their expenditure = 1:2

(3P - 100):(4P - 100) = 1:2

2P = 100 => P = 50

Their incomes = 150, 200
