Question :6

The total number of students in a school is 819. If the number of girls in the school is 364, then what is the respective ratio of the total number of boys to the total number of girls in the school ?

Answer: (d)

Total number of students in the school = 819

Number of girls = 364

∴Number of boys = 819 - 364 = 455

∴Required ratio = 455 : 364 = 5 : 4

Question :7

The compound ratio of (2 : 3), (6, 11) and (11: 2) is:

Answer: (c)

Required ratio = $(2/3 × 6/{11} × {11}/2) = 2/1$ = 2 : 1

Question :8

Some 1 rupee, 50 paisa and 25 paise coins make up Rs. 93.75 and their number are in proportion 3 : 4 : 5. The number of each type of coins, are

Answer: (d)

Let no. of one-rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise coins be 3x, 4x and 5x respectively

∴3x × 1 + 4x × 0.5 + 5x × 0.25 = 93.75

⇒ 3x + 2x + 1.25x = 93.75

⇒ 6.25x = 93.75

⇒ x = 15

∴No. of coins are 45, 60, 75

Question :9

A began a business with Rs.450 and was joined afterwards by B with Rs.300. When did B join if the profits at the end of the year were divided in the ratio 2 : 1 ?

Answer: (c)

Suppose B joined the business for x months.

Then using the above formula, we have ${450 × 12}/{300 × x} = 1/2$

or 300 × 2x = 450 × 12

∴ x = ${450 × 12}/{2 × 300}$ = 9 months

Therefore, B joined after (12 – 9) = 3 months.

Question :10

At present Kavita is twice Sarita's age. Eight years hence, the respective ratio between Kavita's and Sarita's ages then will be 22 : 13. What is Kavita's present age?

Answer: (d)

Kavita's age = x

Savita's age = y x = 2y or x – 2y = 0 ...(i)

${x+8}/{y+8}=22/13$

13x + 104 = 22y + 176

13x – 22y = 176 – 104

13x – 22y = 72 ...(ii)

On equating (i) & (ii), we get x = 36
