A) 1:2:3 B) 2:3:4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:3:4

Originally, let the number of seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology be 5x, 7x and 8x respectively.
Number of increased seats are (140% of 5x), (150% of 7x) and (175% of 8x).
⇒ [(140/100) × 5x],[(150/100) × 7x] and [(175/100) × 8x]
⇒ 7x, 21x/2 and 14x.

⇒ The required ratio =7x : 21x/2 : 14x
⇒ 14x : 21x : 28x
⇒ 2 : 3 : 4

Q:

The percentage profit earned by selling an article for Rs. 1920 is equal to the percentage loss incurred by selling the same article for Rs. 1280. At what price should the article be sold to make 25% profit?

A) Rs. 2000 B) Rs. 2200
C) Rs. 2400 D) Data inadequate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 2000

Explanation:

Let C.P. be Rs. x.

 

Then,= >1920-xx*100=x-1280x*100

 

=>  1920 - x = x - 1280

 

=>  2x = 3200

 

=>  x = 1600

 

 Required S.P. = 125% of Rs. 1600 =Rs(125/100*1600) = Rs2000
