Solutions for Ratio and Proportion Questions for SBI Clerk:

Parineeta’s present age = 33 – 9 = 24 yrs.
Manisha’s present age = 24 – 9 = 15yrs
Difference between Manisha and Deepali’s prresent ages = Parineeta’s present age
Deepali’s present age = Parineeta’s present age + Manisha’s present age = 24 + 15 = 39 yrs.
Ratio of the present age of Manisha and Deepali = 15 : 39 = 5 : 13
x = 13

let’s say present age of son is x, hence father’s age will be 3x
4 years later, (x+4)*2 +13 = 3x+4 ; x=17 and 3x=51

Let total number of members be T.
The number of married number if percent is 28% = .28T
Hence, percent of unmarried members = (100-28)%=72%
And the number = .72T
The ratio of married to unmarried= .28/.72 = $$\frac{7}{18}$$

Let numerator be x and denominator be y.
If numerator is increased by 200% it becomes 3x and if numerator is increased by 150% it becomes 2.5y
Now the new fraction is 9/10.
Hence, (3x/2.5y)=(9/10)
which gives $$\frac{x}{y}$$=$$\frac{3}{4}$$

The time taken by her to type 5000 words essay at a speed of 60words/min = 5000/60=83.33
Now when the speef is increased by 15%, the new speed = 69 words/min|
Time taken by her to type 5000 words essay with this speed = 5000/69 = 72.46
Time difference ~ 10 minutes

Let the son age be x and fathers age be y.
The solution is obtained by solving two simultaneous equations as per given conditions,
x=y+10 and x+10=3(y+10)
Hence, y = 5

Let the number be x and another number be y.
Now, the product of number and another number = x*y
As per given condition, new product (x/3)*1.5y=0.5xy
Now, per cent of the product of the original numbers= (0.5xy/xy)*100=50

As we are not given any absolute figures, a unique value of A’s salary cannot be determined.

Let x be the total amount of money.
Here, share of C is Rs 2,755 more than the share of A i.e
Share of C – Share of A = 2755
i.e (7x/23) – (2x/23) = 2755
Hence, x= 12,673
Total amount of money with B and D together = (3+11)x/23 = 14x/23 = (14*12673)/23 = 7714
Correct option is D.
