The mean proportional of a and b is $10$ and the value of a is four times the value of $b$. The value of $a + b (a > 0, b > 0)$ is:
AnswerSince, the mean proportional of two positive numbers a and b is the positive number x such that $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{10}=\frac{10}{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{ab}=100$
But $\text{a}=4\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow\text{4b}\times\text{b}=100$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}^2=\frac{100}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}^2=25$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=\sqrt{25}$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=5$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=4\times5=20$
$\therefore\text{a}+\text{b}=20+5=25$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(b).$

- A
$Rs. 52$
- B
$Rs. 56$
- C
$Rs. 68$
- ✓
$Rs. 72$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 72$
Let the $CP$ of a pen be $x.$
SP of a pen $= Rs. 48$
Loss $= 20\%$
Therefore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
Now, Loss $= CP - SP$ and Loss = Loss percent $\times CP$
Thus, $CP - SP =$ Loss percent $\times CP$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-48=\frac{20}{100}\times\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow100\text{x}-4800=20\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow100\text{x}-20\text{x}=4800$
$\Rightarrow80\text{x}=4800$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{4800}{80}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=60$
Therefore, $CP$ of the pen $= Rs. 60$
Now, in order to gain $20\%$, let the new $SP$ be $y.$
Gain = Gain percent $\times CP$
$=\frac{20}{100}\times60$
$= Rs.12$
$SP = CP + Gain$
$= Rs. 60 + Rs. 12$
$= Rs. 72$
Hence, the correct option is ($d).$

AnswerLet the number that must be added to each term of the ratio $9 : 16$ be $x.$
Then,
$(9+\text{x}):(16+\text{x})=2:3$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(9+\text{x})}{(16+\text{x})}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow3(9+\text{x})=2(16+\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow27+\text{3x}=32+\text{x}$

- B
$Rs. 804$
- C

AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 840$
Let the $CP$ be $x.$
$SP = Rs. 924$
Gain $= 10\%$
Therfore, $SP$ is more than $CP.$
Now,
Gain$=10\%$ of $CP$ and $SP = CP +$ gain
So, $SP = CP + 10\%$ of $CP$
$\Rightarrow924=\text{x}+\frac{10}{100}\times\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow924=\Big(1+\frac{1}{10}\Big)\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow924=\Big(\frac{11}{10}\Big)\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\Big(\frac{9240}{11}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=840$
Thus, $CP = Rs. 840$

$\Rightarrow\text{4x}=3\times840-\text{3x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{4x}+\text{3x}=3\times840$
$\Rightarrow7\text{x}=3\times840$
$\text{x}=\frac{3\times840}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3\times120$

A sum of $Rs. 600$ amounts to $Rs. 720$ in $4$ years. What will it amount to if the rate of interest is increased by $2\%?$
- A
$Rs. 724$
- B
$Rs. 648$
- ✓
$Rs. 768$
- D
$Rs. 792$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 768$
Let the rate be $R \%$
$S.I. = A - P$
$= 720 - 600$
$= Rs. 120$
Time $= 4$ years
$\text{R}=\frac{10\times\text{S.I.}}{\text{P}\times\text{T}}$
$\text{R}=\frac{100\times120}{600\times4}$
$=5$
Rate of interest $= 5\%$
Now,
$\text{R}=(5+2)\%=7\%$
$\text{S.I.}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{600\times7\times4}{100}$
$\text{Rs. }168$
Amount $= S.I. + P$
$= 600 + 168$
$= Rs. 768$

The $CP$ of a chair is $Rs. 3300$. If it is sold at a loss of $10\%$, then $SP$ is:
- A
$Rs. 3000$
- B
$Rs. 3070$
- C
$Rs. 2790$
- ✓
$Rs. 2970$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 2970$
Let the $SP$ be $x.$
$CP = Rs. 3300$
Loss $= 10\%$
Therfore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
Now,
Loss $= 10\%$ of $CP$ and $SP = CP$ - loss
So, $SP = CP - 10\%$ of $CP$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3300-\frac{10}{100}\times3300$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\Big(1-\frac{1}{10}\Big)3300$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\Big(\frac{9}{10}\Big)3300$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=2970$
Thus, $SP = Rs. 2970$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

If $\frac{1}{\text{a}}:\frac{1}{\text{b}}:\frac{1}{\text{c}}=3:4:5,$ then $\text{a}:\text{b}:\text{c}=$
- A
$5 : 4 : 3$
- ✓
$20 : 15 : 12$
- C
$9 : 12 : 15$
- D
$12 : 15 : 20$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $20 : 15 : 12$
As, $\frac{1}{\text{a}}:\frac{1}{\text{b}}:\frac{1}{\text{c}}=3:4:5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}:\frac{1}{\text{b}}=3:4$ and $\frac{1}{\text{b}}:\frac{1}{\text{c}}=4:5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}\div\frac{1}{\text{b}}=\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{b}}\div\frac{1}{\text{c}}=\frac45$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}\times\frac{\text{b}}{1}=\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{\text{b}}\times\frac{\text{c}}{1}=\frac{4}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}=\frac{4}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{5}{4}$ (Reciprocal of both sides)
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{4\times5}{3\times5}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{5\times3}{4\times3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{20}{15}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{c}=\frac{15}{12}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}:\text{b}=20:15$ and $\text{b}:\text{c}=15:12$
$\therefore\text{a}:\text{b}:\text{c}=20:15:12$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(b).$

A farmer bought a buffalo for $Rs. 44000$ and a cow for $Rs. 18000$. He sold the buffalo at a loss of $5\%$ but made a profit of $10\%$ on the cow. The net result of the transaction is:
- A
Loss of $Rs. 200$
- B
Profit of $Rs. 400$
- ✓
Loss of $Rs. 400$
- D
Profit of $Rs. 200$
AnswerCorrect option: C. Loss of $Rs. 400$
For bufalo, $CP = Rs. = 44000$
Loss$\% = 5\%$
$\therefore\text{Loss}\%=\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}}\times100\%$
$\Rightarrow5=\frac{\text{Loss}}{44000}\times100$
$\Rightarrow\text{Loss}=5\times440=\text{Rs.}2200$
So, $SP = CP -$ Loss $= 44000 - 2200 = Rs. 41800$
For cow, $CP = Rs. 18000$
Profit$\% = 10\%$
$\therefore\text{Profit}\%=\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}\times100\%$
$\Rightarrow10=\frac{\text{Profit}}{18000}\times100$
Profit $= Rs. 1800$
So, $SP = CP +$ Profit $= 18000 + 1800 = Rs. 19800$
Total $CP$ of buffalo and cow $= 44000 + 18000 = Rs. 62000$
Total $SP$ of buffalo and cow $= 41800 + 19800 = Rs. 61600$
Net loss $= CP - SP = 62000 - 61600 = Rs. 400$

- ✓
$20\%$
- B
$25\%$
- C
$3\%$
- D
$16\frac{2}{3}\%$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $20\%$
$C.P$. of $12$ pencils
$= S.P$. of $15$ pencils
$=$ Re $1$ (suppose)
$\therefore$ $C.P$ Of $1$ pencil $= \text{Rs. }\frac{1}{12}$
And $S.P$ of $1$ pencil $=\text{Rs. }\frac{1}{15}$
$\therefore$ Loss $= C.P - S.P$
$=\frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{15}$
$=\frac{5-4}{60}$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{1}{60}$
$\therefore\text{Loss%}=\frac{\text{Loss}\times100}{\text{C.P.}}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{60}\times100}{\frac{1}{12}}$
$=\frac{1\times100\times12}{60\times1}$

A vendor bought lemons at $6$ for a rupee and sold them at $4$ for a rupee. His gain $\%$ is:
- ✓
$50\%$
- B
$40\% $
- C
$33\frac{1}{3}\%$
- D
$16\frac{2}{3}\%$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $50\%$
Let the total lemons be $12.$
$CP$ of $6$ lemons $= Rs. 1$
then, $CP$ of $12$ lemons $= Rs. 2$
Also, $SP$ of $4$ lemons $= Rs. 1$
then, $SP$ of $12$ lemons $= Rs. 3$
Therefore, SP is more than $CP.$
So, Gain $= SP - CP$
$= Rs. 3 - Rs. 2$
$= Rs. 1$
Gain % $=\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times100$
$=50\%$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$
