Let x, y are the ages of Ravi and chinna

x+y = 30 —-(1)

x-y = 14 —–(2)

x+y+x-y = 30+14

2x = 44

x = 22 then y = 8

Ratio = x/y = 22/8 = 11/4 = 11:4

So the answer is option A.

Let present age of karthik = 5k and his son = 1k

Given 1k = 6 ==>5k = 30

Let x be the years after which their ages ratio becomes 7:3,

$\frac{30+x}{6+x} = \frac{7}{3}$

$90+3x = 42+7x$

$48 = 4x$

$x = 12$

So the answer is option B.

Ratio of profits = (12000*19):(20000*19) = 3:5

So the answer is option B.

Ratio of their shares = (4*3):(2*5):(3*4) = 12:10:12 = 6:5:6

So the answer is option B.

Let the age of Ravi’s brother = x

His mother age = 2x

Ravi’s age = x+3

Sum of all 3 ages = 83

x+2x+x+3 = 83

4x = 80

x = 20

Age of Ravi = x+3 = 23

Age of Ravi after 5 years = 23+5 = 28

So the answer is option C.

Sumeeth : pranav = (3000*8):(5000*120) = 24 : 60 = 2 : 5

Share of pranav = $\frac{5}{2+5}\times 490 = \frac{5}{7}\times 490 = 350$/-

So the answer is option B.

Age of Suresh after 9 years from now is 45 ==> present age of suresh = 45-9 = 36

Let x be the present age of Ramesh

Before 6 years, Age of suresh = 36-6 = 30 & age of ramesh = x-6

Their ratio = 5::6

30/(x-6) = 5/6

x = 42

Age of Ramesh after 15 years = 42+15 = 57

So the answer is option D.

Age of Ravi = 4x , And age of his brother = 5x

Sum of their ages = 72

4x + 5x = 72

9x = 72

x = 8

Age of ravi’s brother before 9 years = 5x-9 = 5(8)-9 = 40-9 = 31

So the answer is option C.

Sampath : Vishal = (20000*12 + 30000*6) : (45000*12) = (24+18) : (54) = (42) : (54) = 7 : 9

Share of Vishal = $\frac{9}{7+9}\times 32000 = \frac{9}{16}\times 32000 = 18000$

So the answer is option B.

Given that their ages are in AP and least age is 31 and highest age is 39

1st term = a = 31

5th term = l = 39

Sum of their ages is $S_n = \frac{n}{2}[a+l]$ = $\frac{5}{2}[31+39]$ = $\frac{5}{2}[70]$ = $175$

Hence average = $\frac{175}{5} = 35$

So the answer is option C.

B’s share = $\frac{5}{3+5+6}\times 42000 = \frac{5}{14}\times 42000 = 15000$/-

So the answer is option B.

Let us assume that his scores in English be a, Hindi be b, Maths be c, computers be d, Social Science be e, Science be f and Physical Education be g. So we have
a + b + c + d = 50*4 = 200
Similarly,
c + e + f + g = 70*4 = 280
a + b + 2c + d + e + f + g = 480
We have been given that
a + b + c + d + e + f + g = 58*7 = 406
Subtracting both, we get c = 74
Hence, his marks in Maths must be 74.

Let us assume that we have 63x units of first alloy be mixed with 63y units of second alloy.
63x units of alloy 1 will contain 27x units of gold and 36x units of silver.
63y units of alloy 2 will contain 35y units of silver and 28y units of tin.
So we have
$\frac{27x}{28y} = \frac{4}{7}$
=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{4*28}{7*27} = \frac{16}{27}$
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Let the two numbers be 7x and 9x respectively
Also we have, $\frac{7x – 12}{9x – 12} = \frac{25}{33}$
231x – 396 = 225x – 300
6x = 96
x = 16
So the two numbers are 112 and 144.
Required difference = 144 – 112 = 32
Hence, option B is the right choice.

Total quantity of mixture = 120 litres
Quantity of milk = 5*120/8 = 75 litres and quantity of water = 120 – 75 = 45 litres
Let the quantity of water to be added be ‘x’ litres to get the ratio of 3 : 5.
We get, 75 : (45 + x) = 3 : 5
375 = 135 + 3x
240 = 3x
x = 80 litres
Hence, option B is the right choice.

Let F,S are the present ages of father and son.

F-8 = 3(S-8)

3S-F = 16 ——-(1)

$\frac{F+4}{S+4} = \frac{15}{7}$

7F+28 = 15S+60

15S-7F = -32——-(2)

On solving (1) & (2)

15S-5F = 80

15S-7F = -32

we will get 2F = 112, F = 56

So the answer is option C.

Let the amounts invested by A and B be 2x and 3x.
After 1 year, A’s share and B’s share will be 2x*12:3x*12 = 24x:36x
A invests some amount after 6 months due to which its share also becomes 36x.
Therefore, amount invested by A after 6 months would have contributed 12x.
Let y be the amount invested by A after 6 months.
6*y = 12x
=> y = 2x.
Ratio of amounts invested by A at the beginning and after 6 months = 2x:2x = 1:1.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.

We know that by selling rice for Rupees 63 per kg, the shopkeeper makes a profit of 40 %. Hence, the cost price of the mixture for him will be 63/1.4 = 45 per kg. Let us say that he mixes ‘a’ kg of 40 rupees rice with ‘b’ kg of 54 rupees rice. Hence, we have
40*a + 54*b = 45(a + b)
=> 40a + 54b = 45a + 45b
=> 5a = 9b
=> a/b = 9/5
Hence, the required ratio is 9:5

So the answer is option B.

Let the quantity of initial mixture be 35 litres. So it will have 15 litres milk and 20 litres of water. Now in the new mixture the total water is 8/23 times the total quantity. We know that no new water has been added. Hence, the total quantity of final mixture will be 20*23/8 = 57.5 litres.
Hence, 22.5 litres of milk must be added. It would be 150 %

Let the quantity of rice A be ‘a’ and rice B be ‘b’.
(12a + 15b)/(a+b) is the cost price of a Kg of the mixed rice.
We know that the shopkeeper realizes a profit of 12.5% by selling it at Rs.15.
=> 1.125*(12a+15b)/(a+b) = 15
13.5a + 16.875b = 15a + 15b
1.5a = 1.875b
a/b = 1.875/1.5 = 5/4.
Hence, option C is the right answer.

The length on the map = 2,250 * 1,00,000 cms/20,000 = 11,250 cms

Total weight of water is 7 litres * 0.75 grams/litre = 5.25 grams
The amount of salt in the mixture = 5.25 * 0.5 = 2.63 grams.

So, the amount of salt in seawater = 2.63/4 = 0.66 grams/ litre

The tax on 30 crores = 30 * 30% = 9 crores.
The tax on 25 crores = 24 * 30% = 7.2 crores
Loss = 9 – 7.2 = 1.8 crores.
So, percentage loss = 100 * $\frac{1.8}{9}$ = 20%

Let the amount consumed by Waqar be x litres
Amount consumed by Abdul = 1.3x
So, x + 1.3 x = 2 litres
2.3x = 2
So, x = 2/2.3 = 0.87
The required value = 1.3x – x = 0.3x = 0.3 * 0.87 = 0.26 litres

So, the average daily balance = $\frac{1000*365 + 1100*365+1210*365}{3*365}$
