$55\%$ of $1000 ÷ 60\%$ of $2000 =$
- ✓
$\frac{11}{24}$
- B
$\frac{12}{25}$
- C
$\frac{13}{24}$
- D
$\frac{14}{25}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{11}{24}$
$55\%\ \text{of}\ 1000=\frac{55}{100}\times1000$
$=550$
$60\%\ \text{of}\ 2000=\frac{60}{100}\times2000$
$=1200$
Therefore, $55\%$ of $1000 ÷ 60\%$ of $2000$
$=\frac{550}{1200}=\frac{550\div50}{1200\div20}=\frac{11}{24}$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

On selling a jug for $Rs. 168$, a man loses $\frac{1}{7}$ of his outlay. The cost price of the jug is:
- A
$Rs. 144$
- B
$Rs. 192$
- ✓
$Rs. 196$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 196$
Let the cost price of the jug be $Rs. x$
$\text{Loss}=\text{Rs. }\frac{\text{x}}{7}$
SP of the jug $= CP$ - Loss
$=\text{Rs. }\Big(\text{x}-\frac{\text{x}}{7}\Big) $
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{6}{7}\text{x}$
SP of the jug = Rs. 168 (given)
$\therefore\frac{6}{7}\text{x}=168$
$\Rightarrow\frac{168\times7}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{1176}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=196$
$CP$ of the jug,$= Rs. 196$

If $a, b$ and $c$ are three sums of money such that $b$ is the simple interest on $a$ and $c$ is the simple interest on $b$ for the same time and same rate. Which of the following is correct?
- A
$abc = 1$
- B
$c^2 = ab$
- ✓
$b^2 = ac$
- D
$a^2 = bc$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $b^2 = ac$
It is given that,
Simple interest $(I_1) = b$
Sum $(P_1) = a$
Rate $(R_1) = R%$
Time $(T_1) = T years$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{\text{P}_1\ \times\ \text{R}_1\ \times\ \text{T}_1}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=\frac{\text{a}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}\times\text{T}=\frac{100\text{b}}{\text{a}}\ ...(\text{i})$
Also,
Simple interest $(I_2) = c$
Sum $(P_2) = b$
Rate $(R_2) = R%$
Time $(T_2) = T years$
Now,
$\text{I}_2=\frac{\text{P}_2\ \times\ \text{R}_2\ \times\ \text{T}_2}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{c}=\frac{\text{b}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}\times\text{T}=\frac{100\text{c}}{\text{b}}\ ...(\text{ii})$
On equating $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get
$\frac{100\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{100\text{c}}{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}^2=\text{ac}$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

At what rate percent per annum simple interest will a sum treble itself in $16$ years?
- A
$12\%$
- B
$14.5\%$
- ✓
$12.5\%$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $12.5\%$
Let sum $= P$ and Interest rate $= R$
Now Simple Interest $= 2P$
Simple Interest $=\frac{\big(\text{sum}\times\text{interest rate}\times\text{time}\big)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{P}=\frac{(\text{P}\times16\times\text{R})}{100}$
$\Rightarrow2=\frac{16\text{R}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow16\text{R}\times2$
$\Rightarrow16\text{R}=200$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{200}{16}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{25}{2}$ $(200$ and $16$ is divided by $16)$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=12.5\%$

The boys and girls in a school are in the ratio of $8 : 5$. If the number of girls is $160$, what is the total strength of the school?
AnswerThe boys and girls in a school are in the ratio of $8 : 5$.
If the number of girls is $160$, what is the total strength of the school?
Given ratio of boys and girls is $8 : 5$
Let number of boys $= 8x$
and number of girls $= 5x$
Now given number of girls $= 160$
$\Rightarrow 5x = 160$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{160}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=32$
Number of boys $= 8x = 8 \times 32 = 256$
So total strength $= 256 + 160 = 416$

As, the sum of their present ages $= 44$ years
$\Rightarrow5\text{x}+6\text{x}=44$

If $p : q = 2 : 5,$ then $\frac{25\text{p}+14\text{q}}{5\text{p}+7\text{q}}=$
- A
$8 : 5$
- B
$5 : 8$
- ✓
$8 : 3$
- D
$3 : 8$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $8 : 3$
As, $\text{p}:\text{q}=2:5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{p}}{\text{q}}=\frac{2}{5}$
Let $\text{p}=\text{2x}$ and $\text{q}=5\text{x}$
Now, $\frac{25\text{p}+14\text{q}}{5\text{p}+\text{7q}}$
$=\frac{25\times2\text{x}+14\times5\text{x}}{5\times2\text{x}+7\times5\text{x}}$
$=\frac{50\text{x}+70\text{x}}{10\text{x}+35\text{x}}$
$=\frac{120\text{x}}{45\text{x}}$
$=\frac83$
$=8:3$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$

Mark against the correct answer in the following:
The ages of $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3 : 8$. Six years hence, their ages will be in the ratio $4 : 9$. The present age of $A$ is:
- ✓
$18$ years
- B
$15$ years
- C
$12$ years
- D
$21$ years
AnswerCorrect option: A. $18$ years
Let age of $A = 3x$
And age of $B = 8x$
$6$ years hence, their ages will be $3x + 6$ and $8x + 6$
$\frac{3\text{x}+6}{8\text{x}+6}=\frac{4}{9}$
$\Rightarrow 9(3x + 6) = 4(8x + 6)$
$\Rightarrow 27x + 54 = 32x + 24$
$\Rightarrow 32x - 27x = 54 - 24$
$\Rightarrow 5x = 30$
$\Rightarrow x = 6$
A’s age $= 3x = 3 \times 6 = 18$ years
