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 a race of 1000 m, A can beat by 100 m, in a race of 800m, B can beat C by 100m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 m ?

A) 127.5 m B) 254 m
C) 184 m D) 212 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 127.5 m

Explanation:

When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m.

When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m.

In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C.

In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C

= (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.
