reinvested is in the ratio 6:7,<\/p>\n the amount reinvested in equity is $\\frac{7}{6+7}$ of total amount.<\/p>\n $\\frac{7}{13}$ x = 94500<\/p>\n x = 94500*13\/7<\/p>\n Since there was a 30% profit on this amount,<\/p>\n Original amount = (94500*13)\/(7*1.3) = 135000<\/p>\n Amount invested in equity =$\\frac{5}{5+4}*135000$ = 75000<\/p>\n 10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Since Anil’s

Amount given as rent by Rene = $\\frac{1}{6} \\times 1500x = 250x$<\/p>\n Amount given by Rene to her mother = $\\frac{1}{5} \\times 1500x = 300x$<\/p>\n Amount for loan = $\\frac{30}{100} \\times 1500x = 450x$<\/p>\n Amount kept aside = $\\frac{25}{100} \\times 1500x = 375x$<\/p>\n => Amount left = $1500x – (250x + 300x + 450x + 375x) = 5000$<\/p>\n => $1500x – 1375x = 125x = 5000$<\/p>\n => $x = \\frac{5000}{125} = 40$<\/p>\n $\\therefore$ Som’s salary = $900 \\times 40 = Rs. 36,000$<\/p>\n 15)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let amount invested by A = $Rs. 18x$<\/p>\n => Amount invested by B = $Rs. 7x$<\/p>\n After four months from the start of the business, A invested Rs. 2000 more and B invested Rs. 7000 more<\/p>\n Thus, ratio of profit received by A : B<\/p>\n = $[(18x \\times 4) + (18x + 2000) \\times 8] : [(7x \\times 4) + (7x + 7000) \\times 8]$<\/p>\n = $(72x + 144x + 16000) : (28x + 56x + 56000)$<\/p>\n = $(216x + 16000) : (84x + 56000) = (54x + 4000) : (21x + 14000)$<\/p>\n Acc. to ques, => $\\frac{54x + 4000}{21x + 14000} = \\frac{2}{1}$<\/p>\n => $54x + 4000 = 42x + 28000$<\/p>\n => $54x – 42x = 12x = 28000 – 4000 = 24000$<\/p>\n => $x = \\frac{24000}{12} = 2000$<\/p>\n $\\therefore$ Total initial investment = $18x + 7x = 25x$<\/p>\n = $25 \\times 2000 = Rs. 50,000$<\/p>\n 16)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let B remained in the business for $x$ months.<\/p>\n Amount invested by A = Rs. 3600<\/p>\n Amount invested by B = Rs. 4000<\/p>\n Ratio of share in profit received by A and B<\/p>\n => $\\frac{3600 \\times 12}{4000 \\times x} = \\frac{6}{5}$<\/p>\n => $\\frac{9 \\times 2}{10 \\times x} = \\frac{1}{5}$<\/p>\n => $x = \\frac{18 \\times 5}{10} = 9$<\/p>\n $\\therefore$\u00a0B joined the business after = $12 – 9 = 3$ months from the start of the business.<\/p>\n 17)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let number of boys = $3x$<\/p>\n => Number of girls = $x$<\/p>\n Let average score of girls = $y$<\/p>\n Acc. to ques,<\/p>\n => $\\frac{(73 \\times 3x) + (y \\times x)}{3x + x} = 71$<\/p>\n => $\\frac{x (219 + y)}{4x} = 71$<\/p>\n => $219 + y = 71 \\times 4 = 284$<\/p>\n => $y = 284 – 219 = 65$<\/p>\n 18)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n Jar A has 78 litres of mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 6 : 7<\/p>\n => Quantity of milk in Jar A = $\\frac{6}{13} \\times 78 = 36$ litres<\/p>\n Quantity of water in Jar A = $78 – 36 = 42$ litres<\/p>\n 26 litres of the mixture was taken out from Jar A, i.e., $\\frac{26}{78} = (\\frac{1}{3})^{rd}$<\/p>\n => Milk left = $36 – \\frac{1}{3} \\times 36 = 24$<\/p>\n Water left\u00a0= $42 – \\frac{1}{3} \\times 42 = 28$<\/p>\n Let milk added to jar A = $x$ litres<\/p>\n Acc. to ques, => $\\frac{24 + x}{28} = \\frac{60}{40}$<\/p>\n => $\\frac{24 + x}{28} = \\frac{3}{2}$<\/p>\n => $48 + 2x = 84$<\/p>\n => $2x = 84 – 48 = 36$<\/p>\n => $x = \\frac{36}{2} = 18$ litres<\/p>\n 19)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let the numbers be $100x$ and $100y$<\/p>\n We need to find = $\\frac{100x}{100y} = \\frac{x}{y} = ?$<\/p>\n Acc to ques,<\/p>\n => $\\frac{48}{100} * 100x = \\frac{60}{100} * 100y$<\/p>\n => $48x = 60y$<\/p>\n => $\\frac{x}{y} = \\frac{60}{48} = \\frac{5}{4}$<\/p>\n => $x:y = 5:4$<\/p>\n 20)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let the total amount to be divided = $27x$<\/p>\n A : B : C : D = 4\u00a0: 5 : 7 : 11<\/p>\n => Share of C = $\\frac{7}{27} * 27x = 1351$<\/p>\n => $x = \\frac{1351}{7} = 193$<\/p>\n Now, total amount of money with A & D together<\/p>\n = $\\frac{4 + 11}{27} * 27x$<\/p>\n = $15 * 193 = $Rs. $2,895$<\/p>\n
\nSo, $\\frac{5}{8}*X = 60 \\% Y$
\nOr, $\\frac{5}{8}*X = \\frac{3}{5}*Y$
\nSo, $\\frac{X}{Y} = \\frac{24}{25}$<\/p>\n
\nIf salary of A is increased by 15%, the salary becomes 2S*115% = 2.3S
\nIf salary of B is increased by 10%, the salary becomes 3S*110% = 3.3S
\nIf salary of C is increased by 20%, the salary becomes 5S*120% = 6S<\/p>\n
\nIf earnings of A increase by 50%, he earns 4X*150% = 6X
\nIf earnings of B decrease by 50%, he earns 7X*75% = 21\/4X
\nSo, the new ratio becomes 6X:21\/4X = 8:7<\/p>\n
\nSo, the respective increases in seats equals 5X*0.4, 7X*0.5 and 8X*0.75
\nThat is 2X, 3.5X and 6X<\/p>\n
\nSo, the final ratio is 7:10.5:14 = 2:3:4<\/p>\n
\nx+y = 27
\nx*y = 182
\nx + (182\/x) = 27
\nx^2 – 27x + 182 = 0
\nx^2 – 14x – 13x +182 = 0
\n(x-13)(x-14) = 0
\nx = 13 or x = 14
\ny = 14 or y = 13
\n13 and 14 are the numbers.<\/p>\n
\nP = (3\/8)x
\nQ = (1\/5)*5x\/8 = x\/8
\nLet R and S be fraction by y.
\nFruits with R and S = x -3x\/8 – x\/8 = x\/2
\nSO fruits with R = x\/4<\/p>\n
\nHere, share of C is Rs 2,755 more than the share of A i.e
\nShare of C – Share of A = 2755
\ni.e (7x\/23) – (2x\/23) = 2755
\nHence, x= 12,673
\nTotal amount of money with B and D together = (3+11)x\/23 = 14x\/23 = (14*12673)\/23 = 7714
\nCorrect option is D.<\/p>\n
\nManisha\u2019s present age = 24 – 9 = 15yrs
\nDifference between Manisha and Deepali’s prresent ages = Parineeta’s present age
\nDeepali\u2019s present age = Parineeta’s present age + Manisha’s present age = 24 + 15 = 39 yrs.
\nRatio of the present age of Manisha and Deepali = 15 : 39 = 5 : 13
\nx = 13<\/p>\n
