Q:

Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 7. If 6 be added to each of them, then they are in the ratio 5 : 9. Find the numbers ?

A) 11 & 17 B) 7 & 17
C) 9 & 21 D) 13 & 23
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9 & 21

Explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Given x : y = 3 : 7 .....(1)

Now, x+6 : y+6 = 5 : 9 .....(2)

From (1), x = 3y/7

From (2), 5y - 9x = 24

=> 5y - 9(3y/7) = 24

=> y = 21

=> From(1), x = 9

Hence, the two numbers be 9 and 21

Q:

A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively?

A) 7:4 B) 11:4
C) 4:7 D) 8:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of downstream be q kmph

 

Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = 845hrs

 

Time for downstream = 4 hrs

 

Distance in both the cases is same.

 

=> p x  845= q x 4

 

=> 44p/5 = 4q

 

=> q = 11p/5

 

 Now, the required ratio of Speed of boat : Speed of water current

 

q+p2:q-p2

 

=> (11p/5 + p)/2  : (11p/5 - p)/2

 

=> 8 : 3

A) Rs.1,92,000 B) Rs.2,24,000

One-quarter of one-seventh = 1/4 x 1/7
= 1/28
Now, 1/28 of a land costs = Rs. 30,000
Thus, 8/35 of the land will cost = 30,000 x 28 x 4/15
