Q:

Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is :

A) 83 B) 89
C) 85 D) 79
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 85

Explanation:

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F of 551 and 1073 = 29;
First number = 551/29 = 19
Third number = 1073/29 = 37.
Required sum = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85.

Q:

A, B and C started a company where their initial investments was in the ratio of 2:3:4. At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment. If the annual profit of B is Rs. 3000 then what is the total profit of the company ?

A) Rs. 9500 B) Rs. 10600
C) Rs. 7500 D) Rs. 8900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 9500

Explanation:

Given initial investments ratio = 2 : 3 : 4

At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment

i.e, upto 6 months A's investment is 2 and after 6 months his invstment is 3 = B's investment

Now, Ratio of investment for one year

=> A : B : C = (2×6 + 3×6) : (3×12) : (4×12)

= 30 : 36 : 48

= 5 : 6 : 8

But given B's profit = 3000

=> 6 ratio = 3000

For total => 19 ratio = Rs. 9500.

Q:

A) Rs. 20,000 B) Rs. 10,000
C) Rs. 30,000 D) Rs. 40,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 30,000

Explanation:

Let first part is 'K' and second part is 'L'
then K + L = 50000---------eq1
Total profit = profit on x + profit on y
7000 = (K x 10 x 1)/100 + (L x 20 x 1)/100
70000 = K + 2L-----------------------------------eq2
70000 = 50000 + L
so L = 20000 then K = 50000 - 20000 = 30000
first part on 10% is = Rs.30000

Rajitha invested 25% more than Santhosh. Santhosh invested 30% less than Raju, who invested Rs. 6,000. What is the ratio of the amount that Rajitha invested to the total amount invested by all of them together ?

A) 25 : 114 B) 35 : 103
C) 15 : 108 D) 41 : 94
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 35 : 103

Explanation:

Santhosh's investment = 6000 x 70/100 = Rs.4200
Rajitha's investment = 4200 x 5/4 = Rs.5250
Therefore, total amount invested = 6000 + 4200 + 5250 = Rs.15450.
Required ratio = 5250 : 15450 = 35 : 103.
