Question :1

Two whole numbers whose sum is 72 cannot be in the ratio

Answer: (d)

Question :2

In a certain school, the ratio of boys to girls is 7 : 5. If there are 2400 students in the school, then how many girls are there ?

Answer: (d)

Let the number of boys and girls are 7x and 5x, respectively.

According to question,

⇒7x + 5x = 2400⇒12x = 2400

∴ x = 200

∴ Number of girls = 5x

= 5 × 200 = 1000

Question :3

The electricity bill of a certain establishment is partly fixed and partly varies as the number of units of electricity consumed. When in a certain month, 540 units are consumed, the bill is Rs 1800. In another month, 620 units are consumed and the bill is Rs 2040. In yet another month, 500 units are consumed. The bill for that month would be:

Answer: (a)

Let the fixed amount be Rs x and the cost of each unit be Rs y. Then,

540y + x = 1800 ... (i) and

620 y+ x = 2040 ... (ii)

On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get

80y = 240⇒y = 3.

Putting y = 3 in (i), we get:

x = (1800 – 1620) = 180.

∴ Fixed charges = Rs 180, Charge per unit = Rs 3.

Total charges for consuming 500 units

= Rs (180 + 500 × 3) = Rs 1680.

Question :4

In a dairy farm, 40 cows eat 40 bags of husk in 40 days. In how many days one cow will eat one bag of husk ?

Answer: (b)

Let the required number of days be x.

Number of cows ∝ $1/{\text"number of days"}$ (Indirect Proportion)

Number of bags ∝ number of days (Direct Proportion)

Cows1 : 40  
  : :40 : x
Bags40 : 1  

∴ = 1 × 40 × x = 40 × 1 × 40⇒x = 40.

Alternate method :

Let the required days be x

${40 × 40}/{1 × x} = {40}/{1} ⇒ x=40days$

Question :5

The average age of three boys is 25 years and their ages are in the proportion 3: 5 : 7. The age of the youngest boy is:

Answer: (b)

Total age of 3 boys = (25 × 3) years = 75 years

Ratio of their ages = 3 : 5 : 7.

Age of the youngest boy = $(75 × {3/{15}})$ years = 15 years
