There are two numbers. When 25% of the first number is added to the second number, the resultant number is 1.5times th first number.What is the ratio of 1st number to the 2nd number ?
Answer – C.4:5 Explanation : A+25/100 + B = 1.5A
A/4 + B = 15A/10
10A+40B/40 =60A/40
10A+40B = 60A
50A = 40B
A/B = 4/5

Three cars travel same distance with speeds in the ratio 2 : 4 : 7. What is the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the distance?
B) 14 : 7 : 4
Explanation: s = d/t Since distance is same, so ratio of times: 1/2 : 1/4 : 1/7 = 14 : 7 : 4
Section A and section B of 7th class in a school contains total 285 students.Which of the following can be a ratio of the ratio of the number of boys and number of girls in the class?
B) 10 : 9
Explanation: The number of boys and girls cannot be in decimal values, so the denominator should completely divide number of students (285).
Check each option: 6+5 = 11, and 11 does not divide 285 completely. 10+9 = 19, and only 19 divides 285 completely among all.
180 sweets are divided among friends A, B, C and D in which B and C are brothers also such that sweets divided between A and B are in the ratio 2 : 3, between B and C in the ratio 2 : 5 and between C and D in ratio 3 : 4. What is the number of sweets received by the brothers together?
B) 84
Explanation: A/B = N1/D1 B/C = N2/D2 C/D = N3/D3
A : B : C : D = N1*N2*N3 : D1*N2*N3 : D1*D2*N3 : D1*D2*D3
A/B = 2/3 B/C = 2/5 C/D = 3/4
A : B : C : D
2*2*3 : 3*2*3 : 3*5*3 : 3*5*4
4 : 6 : 15 : 20
B and C together = [(6+15)/(4+6+15+20)] * 180
Number of students in 4th and 5th class is in the ratio 6 : 11. 40% in class 4 are girls and 48% in class 5 are girls. What percentage of students in both the classes are boys?
B) 54.8%
Explanation: Total students in both = 6x+11x = 17x Boys in class 4 = (60/100)*6x = 360x/100 Boys in class 5 = (52/100)*11x = 572x/100 So total boys = 360x/100 + 572x/100 = 932x/100 = 9.32x % of boys = [9.32x/17x] * 100
Consider two alloys A and B. 50 kg of alloy A is mixed with 70 kg of alloy B. A contains brass and copper in the ratio 3 : 2, and B contains them in the ratio 4 : 3 respectively. What is the ratio of copper to brass in the mixture?
E) 5 : 7
Explanation: Brass in A = 3/5 * 50 = 30 kg, Brass in B = 4/7 * 70 = 40 kg Total brass = 30+40 = 70 kg So copper in mixture is (50+70) – 70 = 50 kg So copper to brass = 50 : 70
Ratio of A and B is in the ratio 5 : 8. After 6 years, the ratio of ages of A and B will be in the ratio 17 : 26. Find the present age of B.
A) 72
Explanation: A/B = 5/8 , A+6/B+6 = 17/26
Solve both, B = 72
A bag contains 25p, 50p and 1Re coins in the ratio of 2 : 4 : 5 respectively. If the total money in the bag is Rs 75, find the number of 50p coins in the bag.
D) 40
Explanation: 2x, 4x, 5x (25/100)*2x + (50/100)*4x + 1*5x = 75 x = 10, so 50 p coins = 4x = 40
A is directly proportional to B and also directly proportional to C. When B = 6 and C = 2, A = 24. Find the value of A when B = 8 and C = 3.
D) 48
Explanation: A directly proportional B, A directly proportional to C: A = kB, A = kC Or A = kBC When B = 6 and C = 2, A = 24: 24 = k*6*2 k = 2 Now when B = 8 and C = 3: A = 2*8*3
A is directly proportional to B and also inversely proportional to the square of C.When B = 16 and C = 2, A = 36. Find the value of A when B = 32 and C = 4.
C) 18
Explanation: A = kB, A = k/C2 Or A = kB/ C2
When B = 16 and C = 2, A = 36: 36 = k*16/ 22 k = 9 Now when B = 32 and C = 4: A = 9*32/ 42
A is directly proportional to the inverse of B and also inversely proportional to C. When B = 36 and C = 9, A = 42. Find the value of A when B = 64 and C = 21.
A) 24
Explanation: A = k√B, A = k/C Or A = k√B/C When B = 36 and C = 9, A = 42: 42 = k√36/9 k = 63 Now when B = 64 and C = 21: A = 63*√64/21
