The ratio of roses and lillies in a garden is 3 : 2 respectively. The average number of roses and lillies is 180. What is the number of lillies in the garden?

Answer: (b)

Given ${x + 4}/{3x + 15}$ = $(2/3)^3$ = $8/{27}$

x = 4

Question :19

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio ${1/2} : {1/3} : {1/4}$ and its perimeter is 104 cm. The length of the longest side is

Answer: (a)

Sides are in the ratio ${1/2} : {1/3} : {1/4}$

i.e. 6 : 4 : 3

Let the ratio be x

∴sides are 6x, 4x and 3x

Given that 6x + 4x + 3x = 104

⇒13x = 104

⇒x = 8

∴longest side = 6x = 6 × 8 = 48 cm

Question :20

The incomes of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 2 and their expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 3. If each saves Rs.2000, what is their income?

Answer: (c)

According to the above theorem,

a : b = 3 : 2 (Income)

c : d = 5 : 3 (Expenditure)

X = 2000 (Savings)

Therefore, A's income = ${Xa(d - c)}/{ad - bc} = {2000 × 3 × (3 - 5)}/{3 × 3 - 2 × 5}$

= Rs. 12, 000

and B's income = ${Xb(d - c)}/{ ad - bc} = {2000 × 2 × (3 - 5)}/{3 × 3 - 2 × 5}$ = Rs. 8,000
