Question : 1
The students in three classes are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If 20 students are increased in each class, the ratio changes to 4 : 5 : 7. Originally the total number of students was :
a) 100
b) 150
c) 90
d) 50
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the original number of students in three classes be 2x, 3x and 5x respectively.
As given,
${2x + 20}/{3x + 20} = 4/5$
10x + 100 = 12x + 80
12x - 10x = 100 - 80
2x = 20 ⇒ $x = 20/2$ = 10
Total number of students originally
= 2x + 3x + 5x = 10x
= 10 × 10 = 100
Question : 2

a) 10 :11
b) 13 :14
c) 6 : 7
d) 7 : 6
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 21If an amount R is to be divided between A and B in the ratio m:n then(i) Part of A =$m/{m+n}×R$(ii) Part of B =$n/{m+n}×R$(iii) Difference of part of A and B =${mn}/{m+n}×R$where m > n
Number of boys
= $13/{13 + 11} × 504$
= $13/24 × 504$ = 273
Number of girls
= 504 - 273 = 231
3 girls are admitted.
Required ratio
= 273 : 234 = 7 : 6
