06. Sanjay, Manohar and Harpreeth rented a field for cattle grazing for Rs.2700. Manohar grazed his 12 cattle for 15 days, Sanjay grazed his 20 cattle for 30 days and Harpreeth grazed his 10 cattle for 12 days. Find out the share that Manohar paid as rent.
A. 1800 B. 360
C. 540 D. 900

Answer and Explanation

Answer: 540

Explanation:
Let the share of Sanjay be X, of Manohar be Y and that of Harpreeth be Z
Therefore, X:Y:Z = 20*30 : 12*15 : 10*12
= 600 : 180 : 120 = 10 : 3 : 2
Now, 10a+3a+2a = 15a = 2700
a = 180
Manohar ‘s share is Y = 3a = 3*180 = 540

07. In a partnership for a business, Jay invests Rs.6000 for complete year & Anuj invests Rs.3000 for 6 months. What is Anuj’s share if they earn Rs.240 as profit?
A. 120 B. 80
C. 192 D. 48

Answer and Explanation

Answer: 48

Explanation:
If A invests amount C1 for T1 time and his share of profit is P1, and B invests amount C2 for T2 time and his share of profit is P2, then, C1 * T1 / C2 * T2 = P1/P2
If P is the Anuj’s share of profit, then Jay gets (240 – P)
Therefore, 6000 * 12 / 3000 * 6 = (240 - P) / P = 72/ 18 = 4
4P = (240 – P)
5P = 240
P = 48

08. Two kinds of rice, 1st costs Rs.13 per kg and 2nd costs Rs.19 per kg are mixed together. Find the ratio in which the 2 types are mixed so that the mixture costs Rs.14.2 per kg?
A. 3:1 B. 4:1
C. 3:4 D. 4:3

Answer and Explanation

Answer: 4:1

Explanation:
Let the total quantity of mixture be 1. If quantity of 1st type is x then quantity of the 2nd type will be (1-x)
Therefore, 13x + 19(1-x) = 14.2
13x -19x + 19 = 14.2
4.8 = 6x
x = 0.8 ; (1-x) = 0.2
Therefore, the ratio is 0.8 : 0.2 = 4:1

09. If the ratio of present ages of krupa and Jay is 5:7 and after 6 years the ratio will be 3:4, what is the present age of Jay?
A. 42 B. 30
C. 36 D. None of these

Answer and Explanation

Answer: 42

Explanation:
As the present age of krupa and Jay are in the ratio 5:7, let their ages be 5x and 7x respectively.
Therefore, their ages after 6 years will be (5x+6) and (7x+6) respectively.
Now, it is given that (5x+6)/(7x+6) = 3/4
4*(5x+6) = 3*(7x+6)
x = 6
Hence, the present age of Jay is 7x = 7*6 = 42 years

10. The addition of two numbers is m and their quotient is y/z. The two numbers are:
A. y, z B. my/z, mz/y
C. m/(y + z), m/(y – z) D. my/(y + z), mz/(y + z)

Answer and Explanation

Answer: my/(y + z), mz/(y + z)

Explanation:
Let the numbers be a and b.
Therefore, (a+b) = m; a/b = y/z
a = yx, b = zx
(a+b) = (yx + zx) = (y+z)x = m
Therefore, x = m/(y+z)
Hence, a = my/(y+z); b = mz/(y+z)
