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

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

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
