What least number is to be subtracted from each term of the ratio $15 : 19$ to make the ratio $3 : 4?$
AnswerLet the least number that is to be subtracted from each term of the ratio $15 : 19$ be $x.$
Then,
$(15-\text{x}):(19-\text{x})=3:4$
$\Rightarrow4(15-\text{x})=3(19-\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow60-\text{4x}=57-3\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}-4\text{x}=57-3\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow-\text{x}=-3$
$\therefore\text{x}=3$
So, $3$ is the least number to be subtracted from each term of the ratio $15 : 19$ to make the ratio $3 : 4.$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$

Apala has $Rs. 200$ with her. She spent $80\%$ amount she had. How much money is left with her?
- A
$Rs. 10$
- B
$Rs. 20$
- C
$Rs. 30$
- ✓
$Rs. 40$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 40$
Out of Rs. $100$, money spent $= Rs. 80$
$\therefore$ Out of $Rs. 200,$ money spent
$=\frac{80}{100}\times200$
$= Rs. 160$
or
Money spent $= 80\%$ of $Rs. 200$
$=200\times\frac{80}{100}$
$= Rs. 60$
$\therefore$ Money left $= Rs. 200 - Rs. 160$
$= Rs. 40$

The simple interest at $R\%$ per annum for n years will be Rs. n on a sum of:
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\text{Rs.}\frac{100}{\text{R}}$
It is given that,
Simple interest $(I) = Rs. n$
Rate $(R) = R\%$
Time $(T) = n$ years
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}=\frac{100\ \times\ \text{I}}{\text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}=\frac{100\ \times\ \text{n}}{\text{R}\ \times\ \text{n}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{P}=\frac{100}{\text{R}}$

What least number must be subtracted from each term of the ratio $15 : 19$ to make the ratio $3 : 4?$
AnswerLet x be subtracted from each of the term
$\frac{15-\text{x}}{19-\text{x}}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow 4 (15 - x) = 3 (19 - x)$
$\Rightarrow 60 - 4x = 57 - 3x$
$\Rightarrow -4x + 3x = 57 - 60$
$\Rightarrow -x = -3$

- A
$2$ years
- B
$2$ years $6$ months
- ✓
$3$ years $6$ months
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $3$ years $6$ months
Let Time = T years
Simple Interset = Amount - Sum
$= 2278.50 - 1860$
$= 418.5$
Again
Simple Interset = $=\frac{\big(\text{sum}\times\text{interest rate}\times\text{time}\big)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow418.5=\frac{(1860\times9\times\text{T})}{100}$
$\Rightarrow418.5\times100=1860\times9\times\text{T}$
$\Rightarrow41850=1860\times9\times\text{T}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{41850}{\big(18060\times9)}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{41850}{\big(186\times9)}$ ($41850$ and $1860$ is divided by $10)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{465}{186}$ ($4185$ and $9$ is divided by $9)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{155}{162}$ ($465$ and $186$ is divided by $3)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{5}{2}$ ($155$ and $62$ is divided by $31)$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{2+1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=2\text{ years }6\text{ months }\big(\frac{1}{2} \text{ years }=\frac{\big(1\times12\big)}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6\text{ months}\big)$

In what time will a sum of $Rs. 8000$ amount to $Rs. 8360$ at $6\%$ per annum simple interest?
AnswerCorrect option: B. $9\text{ month}$
It is given that,
Amount $= Rs. 8360$
Sum $= Rs. 8000$
Simple interest $(I) =$ Amount - Sum $= Rs. 8360 - Rs. 8000 = Rs. 360$
Also,
Rate $(R) = 6\%$
Time $(T) = T$ years
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{100\ \times\ \text{I}}{\text{P }\times\text{ R}}$

Given, $SP = Rs. = 329$ and loss$\% = 6\%$
We know that,
$\text{Loss}\%=\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$\Rightarrow6=\frac{\text{CP}-\text{SP}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$[\therefore\text{Loss}=\text{CP}-\text{SP}]$
$\Rightarrow6\text{CP}=100(\text{CP-SP})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6}{100}\text {CP} = \text{CP}-\text{SP}$
$\Rightarrow\text{CP}-\frac{6}{100}\text{CP}=329$
$[\therefore\text{SP}=\text{Rs. 329, }\text{givne}]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{94}{100}\text{CP}=329$
$\Rightarrow\text{CP}=\frac{329\times100}{94}$
$\therefore\text{CP} = \text{Rs. }350$

If the cost price of $6$ pencils is equal to the selling price of $5$ pencils, then the gain percent is:
- A
$10\%$
- ✓
$20\%$
- C
$15\%$
- D
$25\%$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $20\%$
Let the cost price of one pencil be $Rs. 1$.
Then, $CP$ of $5$ pencils $= Rs. 5$
and $SP$ of $5$ pencils $= Rs. 6$ ($\because SP$ of $5$ pencils $= CP$ of $6$ pencils)
Therfore, SP is more than $CP.$
So, Profit $= SP - CP$
$= Rs. 6 - Rs. 5$
$= Rs. 1$
Gain % $=\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$=\frac{1}{5}\times100$
$=20\%$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

$x, y$ and $z$ are three sums of money such that $y$ is the simple interest on $x$ and $z$ is the simple interest on $y$ for the same time and same rate. Which of the following is correct?
- A
$xyz = 1$
- B
$z^2 = xy$
- C
$x^2 = yz$
- ✓
$y^2 = zx$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $y^2 = zx$
$\text{y}=\text{S.I.}\text{ on x}=\frac{\text{x}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}\ ...\text{(i)}$
$\text{z}=\text{S.I. on y}=\frac{\text{y}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}\ ...\text{(ii)}$
Dividing equation $(i)$ by $(ii):$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{y}}{\text{z}}=\Big(\frac{\text{x}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}\times\frac{100}{\text{y}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{y}}{\text{z}}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}^2=\text{zx}$

$45$ cows can graze a field in $12$ days. How many cows will graze the same field in $9$ days?
AnswerCorrect option: A. $60$ days
Number of cows that graze the field in $12$ days $= 45$
Number of cows that graze the field in $1$ day $= 45 \times 12$
$\therefore$ Number of cows that graze the field in $9$ days $=\frac{45\times12}{9}=60$

lf $2a = 3b = 4c$, then $a : b : c =$
- A
$2 : 3 : 4$
- B
$3 : 4 : 6$
- C
$4 : 3 : 2$
- ✓
$6 : 4 : 3$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $6 : 4 : 3$
As, $\text{2a}=\text{3b}=4\text{c}$
$\Rightarrow\text{2a}=\text{3b}$ and $3\text{b}=\text{4c}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac32$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac43$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}:\text{b}=6:4$ and $\text{b}:\text{c}=4:3$
$\therefore\text{a}:\text{b}:\text{c}=6:4:3$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(d).$

The boys and girls in a school are in the ratio $8 : 5$. If the number of girls is $160$, what is the total strength of the school?
AnswerLet x be the number of bosy.
Then, $8 : 5 = x : 160$
$\Rightarrow\frac{8}{5}=\frac{\text{x}}{160}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{8\times160}{5}=256$
$\therefore$ Total strength of the school $= 256 + 160 = 416$

If $90\%$ of $x$ is $315$ then the value of $x$ is.
AnswerGiven, $90\%$ of $x = 315$
$\Rightarrow\big(\frac{90}{100}\big)\times\text{x}=315$
$\Rightarrow\big(\frac{90}{10}\big)\times\text{x}=315$
$\Rightarrow\frac{9\text{x}}{10}=315$
$\Rightarrow9\text{x}=315\times10$
$\Rightarrow\text{9x}=3150$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{3150}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=350$ $(3150$ and $9$ are divided by $9)$

On selling an article for $Rs. 144$ a man loses $10\%$. At what price should he sell it to gain $10\%?$
- A
$Rs. 158.40$
- B
$Rs. 158.40$
- ✓
$Rs. 176$
- D
$Rs. 192$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 176$
SP of an article $= Rs. 144$
Loss$\% = 10\%$
$\therefore\text{C.P.}=\frac{\text{S.P}\times100}{100-\text{loss%}}$
$=\frac{144\times100}{100-10}$
$=\frac{144\times100}{90}$
$=\text{Rs. }160$
Gain = 10%
$\text{SP}=\frac{\text{C.P}\times(100+\text{gain%})}{100}$
$=\frac{160(1400+10)}{100}$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{160\times110}{100}$
$=\text{Rs. }176$
