Question : 2

The product of two fractions is $14/15$ and their quotient is $35/24$. The greater fraction is—

a) $4/5$

b) $7/3$

c) $7/6$

d) $7/4$

Answer: (c)

Given

$\text"a"/ \text"b" × \text"c"/ \text"d" = 14/15$ ...(i)

$\text"a"/ \text"b" × \text"d"/ \text"c" = 35/24$...(ii)

Now multiplying both the equations

$\text"ac"/ \text"bd" × \text"ad"/ \text"bc" = 14/15 × 35/24$

= $a^2/ b^2 = 49/36$ ⇒ $\text"a"/ \text"b" = 7/6$

$\text"c"/ \text"d" = {14/15}/{7/6} =4/5$

But the greater fraction is $7/6$ .

a) 60

b) 45

c) 35

d) 25

Answer: (d)

Suppose required number is x Then,

3x -$\text"3x"/5$ = 60 ⇒ $\text"12x"/5$ =60

= x = ${60 × 5}/12$ = 25

Question : 4

0.1 and $5/8$ of a bamboo are in mud and water respectively and the rest of length 2.75 m is above water. What is the length of the bamboo?

a) 20 m

b) 27.5 m

c) 30 m

d) 10 m

Answer: (d)

Let the length of bamboo be x metres.

Length of bamboo above water

= x - $x/10 – {5x}/8$

= ${40x – 4x – 25x}/40 = {11x}/40$

According to the question, ${11x}/40$ = 2.75

x =${2.75×40}/11$=10 metres.

Question : 5

A candidate in an examination was asked to find $5/14$ of a certain number. By mistake he found $5/4$ of it. Thus, his answer was 25 more than the correct answer. The number was :

b) 84

c) 56

d) 28

Answer: (d)

Let the required number be x.

As given,

$x × 5/4$ - $x × 5/14$ = 25

$5x(1/4 – 1/14)$ = 25

$5x({7 – 2}/28)$ = 25⇒ $5x × 5/28$ = 25

x = ${25×28}/{5×5}$ = 28

Question : 6

What is two-third of half of 369?

a) 271$3/4$
