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

Q:

In how many ways can 5 different toys be packed in 3 identical boxes such that no box is empty, if any of the boxes may hold all of the toys?

A) 15 B) 10
C) 25 D) 20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 25

Explanation:

The toys are different; The boxes are identical
If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways
a. 2,2,1
b. 3,1,1

Case a. Number of ways of achieving the first option 2−2–1

Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in5C2 5 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in3C2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1C1  way.

However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2.

Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2−2–1 option is:

5C2*3C22=10*32=15 ways.

Case b. Number of ways of achieving the second option 3−1–1

Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C3  ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way.
Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3−1–1 option is5C3=10 ways.

Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes
=number of ways of achieving Case a + number of ways of achieving Case b
=15 + 10 = 25 ways

           =>  3x + 3 = 42


           => 3x = 39 


          =>  x = 13


 


The numbers would be 13, 14, 15 


Therefore, Sum of the digits of middle number = 1+4 = 5
