CDS I - Mathematics Previous Year Question Paper 2019 - Question 12

If   then which one of the following statements is correct?

Detailed Solution for CDS I - Mathematics Previous Year Question Paper 2019 - Question 12

a/(b+c) = b/(c+a) = c/(a+b)
Taking reciprocal and adding 1 to each ratio we get;
(b+c)/a + 1 = b/(c+a) + 1 = c/(a+b) + 1
Or (a+b+c)/a = (a+b+c)/b = (a+b+c)/c
So this can only be equal when a=b=c or a+b+c = 0
When a=b=c we get a/(b+c) = ½
When a+b+c = 0 we get b+c = -a
So a/(b+c) = -1
So the ratios are ½ or -1

CDS I - Mathematics Previous Year Question Paper 2019 - Question 25

A person divided a sum of Rs. 17,200 into three parts and invested at 5%. 6% and 9^ per annum simple interest. At the end of two years, he got the same interest on each part of money. What is the money invested at 9%?

Detailed Solution for CDS I - Mathematics Previous Year Question Paper 2019 - Question 25

Let sum invested @ 5% be P1, @ 6% be P2 then @ 9% = 17200-(P1+P2)
So according to question
P1*5*2/100 = P2*6*2/100 or P1 = (6/5) P2
Also  P2*6*2/100 = [17200-(P1+P2)]*9*2/100
Or  2 P2 = [17200 – (11/5)P2] * 3
Or (2 + 33/5)P2 = 17200 * 3
P2 = 17200 * 3 * 5 / 43 = 6000
So P1 = 6/5 P2 = 7200
So Sum invested @ 9% = 17200 –(6000+7200) = Rs 4000
