Question :16

Which number should replace both the question marks in the following equation? $?/84$ = ${189}/?$

Answer: (a)

$?/84=189/?$

or $?^2$ = 84 × 189

or $?^2$ = 21 × 4 × 21 × 9

or $?^2 = 21^2 × 2^2 × 3^2$

∴ ? = 21 × 2 × 3 = 126

Question :17

A hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 4 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare. Compare the rates of the hound and the hare.

Answer: (b)

4 leaps of hound = 5 leaps of hare

∴ 5 leaps of hound = ${25}/4$ leaps of hare

∴ the rate of hound : rate of hare = ${25}/4$ : 6 = 25 : 24

Or,

Ratio ofHoundHare
Leap frequency56
Leap length45

Then the required ratio of speed is the ratio of the cross product.

That is, speed of hound : speed of hare

= 5 × 5 : 6 × 4 = 25 : 24

Question :18

The ages of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 1. 15 year hence the ratio will be 2 : 1. Their present ages are

Answer: (a)

Let Age of A = 3x

Age of B = x

∴${3x + 15}/{x + 15}$ = $2/1$

3x + 15 = 2x + 30

x = 15

∴Present Age of A = 45 years

Present Age of B = 15 years

A and B started a business by investing Rs. 35,000 and Rs. 20,000 respectively. B left the business after 5 months and C joined the business with a sum of Rs. 15,000. The profit earned at the end of the year is Rs. 84,125. What is B's share of profit?

Answer: (b)

Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C for 1 month

= 35000 × 12 : 20000 × 5 : 15000 × 7

= 35 × 12 : 20 × 5 : 15 × 7 = 84 : 20 : 21

Sum of the ratios = 84 + 20 + 21 = 125

∴ B's share = Rs.$({{20}/{125}} × 84125)$ = Rs. 13460
