Question : 13 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2014]

Two numbers A and B are such that the sum of 5% of A and 4% of B is $2/3$ rd of the sum of 6% of A and 8% of B. The ratio A : B is

a) 1 : 1

b) 2 : 3

c) 3 : 4

d) 4 : 3

Answer: (d)

Numbers ⇒ A and B

${A × 5}/100 + {B × 4}/100$

= $2/3({A × 6}/100 + {B × 8}/100)$

5A + 4B = ${12A + 16B}/3$

15A + 12B = 12A + 16B

15A – 12A = 16B – 12B

3A = 4B

$A/B = 4/3$ = 4 : 3

Question : 14

If 20% of A = 30% of B =$1/6$ of C, then A : B : C is

a) 10 : 15 : 18

b) 15 : 10 : 18

c) 3 : 2 : 16

d) 2 : 3 : 16

Answer: (b)

20 % of A = 30 % of B = $1/6$ of C

${20A}/100 = {30B}/100 = C/6$

$A/5 = B/{10/3} = C/6 = k (let)$

A = 5k, B = $10/3$k, C = 6 k

A : B : C = 5k : ${10k}/3$ : 6 k

= 15 : 10 : 18
