Answers & Solutions   1 .     Answer : Option C Explanation : Suppose B joined after x months, then 21000×12=36000×(12 - x) $\iff$36x=180 x= 5 2 .     Answer : Option C Explanation : Suppose Y invested Rs. y, then $40000 \over y$ = $2 \over 3 \iff$y = (40000×$3 \over 2$). $\iff$ y = 60000. 3 .     Answer : Option A Explanation : A:B:C = =(20000×24):(15000×24):(20000×18)=4 : 3 : 3 B's share = Rs.[25000 x $3\over 10$]=Rs. 7500 4 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : A:B:C = 7:8:11 Hire charges paid by B = Rs.[520 x $8\over 26$] = Rs.160 5 .     Answer : Option A Explanation : A:B:C = [ 10 x 7 ] : [ 12 x 5 ] : ( 15 x 3 ) = 70 : 60 : 45 = 14 : 12 : 9 C's Rent = Rs. [175 x $9\over 35$] = Rs. 45 6 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : Sekar : Rajeev : Jatin = [ 25000 × 12 + 35000 × 12 + 45000 × 12 : 35000 × 24 ] : [ 35000 × 12 ] = 1260000 : 840000 : 420000 = 3 : 2 : 1 Rajeev's share = Rs.[150000 x $2\over 6$] = Rs. 50000 7 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : Let the total profit be Rs. 100. After paying to charity, A's share = Rs. [95 $\times$ $3\over 5$] = Rs. 57. If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100. If A's share Rs. 855, total profit = Rs. [$100\over57$ $\times$ 855] = Rs. 1500 8 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370. Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030. Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3) = 39000 : 42000 : 30000 = 13 : 14 : 10 B’s share = Rs.[7030 x $14\over37$] = Rs.2660 9 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : Ratio of initial investments = [$7\over2$ : $4\over3$ : $6\over 5$] = 105 : 40 : 36 Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x. A:B:C = [$105x$ $\times$ 4 + $150\over100$ $\times$ 105x $\times$ 8] : [$40x \times 12$] : [$36x \times 12$] = 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9 Hence, B’s Share = Rs [21600 x $10\over 54$] = Rs.4000. 10 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : Let C = x. Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000. So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000 $\iff$3x = 36000 $\iff$x = 12000 A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12 A's Share = Rs. [35000 x $21\over 50$] = 14700
