If $2A = 3B$ and $4B = 5C$, then $A : C = ?$
  • A
    $4 : 3$
  • B
    $8 : 15$
  • C

$2\text{A}=3\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}=\frac{3}{2}$
$4\text{B}=5\text{C}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{B}}{\text{C}}=\frac{5}{4}$
Multiplying, We get
$\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\times\frac{\text{B}}{\text{C}}=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{5}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{A}}{\text{C}}=\frac{15}{8}$

Correct option: D.
$Rs. 4800$

It is given that,
Sum $(P) = Rs. 3000$
Rate $(R) = 3%$
Time $(T) = 20$ years
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{3000\ \times\ 3\ \times\ 20}{100}$
$=\text{Rs. }1800$
Amount $= I + P = Rs. 1800 + Rs. 3000 = Rs. 4800$

At what rate percent per annum simple interest will a sum double itself in $10$ years?
  • A
    $8\%$
  • $10\%$
  • C
    $12\%$
  • D
    $12\frac{1}{2}\%$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$10\%$

Amount $= 2$ times the sum $= 2P$
Simple interest $(I) =$ Amount - Sum $= 2P - P = P$
Let the sum $(P)$ be $x.$
Then, simple interest $(I) = x$
Rate $(R) = R\%$
Time $(T) = 10$ years
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{100\ \times\ \text{I}}{\text{P }\times\text{ T}}$
$=\frac{100\ \times\text{ x}}{\text{x } \times\ 10}$
$=10\%$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

  • A
    $25\%$
  • B
    $80\%$
  • $20\%$
  • D
    $75\%$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$20\%$

Let the Raman’s income be x. it is given that Mohan’s income is $25\%$ more than Raman’s income.
The, Mohan's income $=\text{x}+20\%\text{ of } \text{x}+\frac{25}{100}\text{x}=\text{x}\Big(1+\frac{25}{100}\Big)$
$=\text{x}\Big(\frac{100+25}{100}\Big)=\frac{125}{100}\text{x}$
$\therefore$ Raman's income as compared to Mohan's income.
$=\frac{\text{Mohan's income - Raman's income}}{\text{Mohan's income}}\times100\%$
$\frac{\frac{125}{100}\text{x-x}}{\frac{125}{100}\text{x}}\times100\%=\frac{\frac{125\text{x}-100\text{x}}{100}}{\frac{125}{100}\text{x}}\times100\%$
$=\frac{25\text{x}}{125\text{x}}\times100\%=20\%$

If $8 : x :: 16 : 35$, then $x =$
  • A
    $35$
  • B
    $70$
  • $\frac{35}2$
  • D
    $24$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{35}2$

As, $8 : x :: 16 : 35$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{8}}{\text{x}}=\frac{16}{35}$
$\Rightarrow\text{16x}=8\times35$ (By cross multiplication)
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{8\times35}{16}$ (Transposing $16$ to $R.H.S.)$

At simple interest a sum becomes $\frac65$ of itself in $2\frac12$ years. The rate of interest per annum is:
  • A
    $6\%$
  • B
    $7\frac12\%$
  • $8\%$
  • D
    $9\%$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$8\%$

Let the sum be Rs. $x$
Rate of interest $= r\%$
Time $=2\frac12$ years $=\frac52$ years
Amount $=\frac65\times\text{Sum}$
Rate $= ?$
Amount $=\frac65\times\text{Sum}$
Principal $+ S.I. = $Amount
$\text{Principal}+\frac{\text{Principal}\times\text{Rate}\times\text{Time}}{100}=\frac65\times\text{Principal}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\frac{\text{x}\times\text{r}\times5}{100\times2}=\frac65\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}\Big(1+\frac{5\text{r}}{100\times2}\Big)=\frac65\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow1+\frac{\text{r}}{40}=\frac65$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=40\times\frac15$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=8$
So, the rate of interest is $8\%$

On selling a plastic chair for $Rs. 630$, a man loses $10\%$, the cost price of the chair is:
  • A
    $Rs. 567$
  • B
    $Rs. 693$
  • $Rs. 700$
  • D
    $Rs. 730$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$Rs. 700$

Let the $CP$ be $x.$
$SP = Rs. 630$
Loss $= 10\%$
Therfore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
Now,
Loss $= 10\%$ of $CP$ and $SP = CP $- loss
So, $SP = CP - 10\%$ of $CP$
$\Rightarrow630=\text{x}-\frac{10}{100}\times\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow630=\Big(1-\frac{1}{10}\Big)\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow630=\Big(\frac{9}{10}\Big)\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{6300}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=700 $
Thus, $CP = Rs. 700$

Mark against the correct answer in the following:
What number has to be added to each term of $3 : 5$ to make the ratio $5 : 6 ?$
  • A
    $6$
  • $7$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $11$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$7$

Let x to be added to each term of $3 : 5$
Then $\frac{3+\text{x}}{5+\text{x}}=\frac{5}{6}$
By cross multiplication
$18 + 6x = 25 + 5x$
$6x - 5x = 25 - 18$
$x = 7$
$7$ is to be added

in $1$ minutes, he will cover $=\frac{5}{10}\text{km}$
and in $50$ minutes, he will cover
$=\frac{5}{10}\times50$

MCQ 1421 Mark
Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
A sum amounts to $Rs. 3626$ in $219$ days at $6\%$ per annum simple interest. The sum is:
  • A
    $Rs. 3000$
  • B
    $Rs. 3200$
  • $Rs. 3500$
  • D
    $Rs. 3600$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$Rs. 3500$

$A = Rs. 3626$
$R = 6\%$
$T = 219$ days $=\frac{219}{365}\text{ years}$
Let the required sum be Rs. $x$
$\text{S.I.}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{\text{x}\times6\times219}{100\times365}$
$=\frac{1314\text{x}}{36500}$
$\text{A}=\text{P}+\text{S.I.}$
$=\text{x}+\frac{1314\text{x}}{36500}$
$=\frac{36500\text{x}+1314\text{x}}{36500}$
$=\frac{1314\text{x}}{36500}$
But the amount is Rs. 3626
$\therefore\frac{37814\text{x}}{36500}=3626$
$\text{x}=\frac{3626\times36500}{37814}=3500$
The required sum is $Rs. 3500$

Mark against the correct answer in the following:
If $\frac{4}{5}$ of a cistern is filled in $1$ minute, how much more time will be required to fill the rest of it?
  • A
    $20$ seconds
  • $15$ seconds
  • C
    $12$ seconds
  • D
    $10$ seconds
Answer
Correct option: B.
$15$ seconds

Total cistern $= 1$
Filled in $1$ minute $=\frac{4}{5}$
Unfilled $=1-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$
$\frac{4}{5}$ cistern is filled in $= 1$ minutes $= 60$ seconds
$1$ full cistern can be filled in $=\frac{60\times5}{4}=75$ seconds
More time $= 75 - 60 = 15$ seconds

A ratio equivalent to $2 : 5$ is:
  • $6 : 15$
  • B
    $4 : 5$
  • C
    $5 : 2$
  • D
    $5 : 4$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$6 : 15$

Since, $2:5=\frac25=\frac{2\times3}{5\times3}=\frac{6}{15}=6:15$
So, the ratio equivalent to $2 : 5$ is $6 : 15.$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$

MCQ 1481 Mark
If interest on $Rs. x$ for $2$ years at $R %$ per annum is $Rs. 80,$ the interest on $Rs. 2x$ for one year at $R\%$ per annum is:
  • A
    $Rs. 160$
  • B
    $Rs. 40$
  • $Rs. 80$
  • D
    $Rs. 120$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$Rs. 80$
It is given that,
Sum $(P_1) = Rs. x$
Rate $(R_1) = R%$
Time $(T_1) = 2 years$
Interest $(I_1) = Rs. 80$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{\text{P}_1\ \times\ \text{R}_1\ \times\ \text{T}_1}{100}$
$\Rightarrow80=\frac{\text{x}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{R}\text{x}}{100}=80\ ...(\text{i})$
Now,
Sum $(P_2) = Rs. 2x$
Rate $(R_2) = R%$
Time $(T_2) = 1 year$
$\text{I}_2=\frac{\text{P}_2\ \times\ \text{R}_2\ \times\ \text{T}_2}{100}$
$=\frac{2\text{x}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ 1}{100}$
$=\frac{2\text{R}\text{x}}{100}$
$=80$ [From (i)]
Therefore, $I_2 = Rs. 80$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

Mark against the correct answer in the following:
The ages of $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $5 : 2.$ After $5$ years, their ages will be in the ratio $15: 7$. The present age of $A$ is:
  • A
    $48$ years
  • B
    $36$ years
  • $40$ years
  • D
    $35$ years
Answer
Correct option: C.
$40$ years
Suppose that the present ages of $A$ and $B$ are $5x$ yrs and $2x$ yrs, respectively.
After 5 years, the ages of $A$ and $B$ will be $(5x + 5)$ yrs and $(2x + 5)$ yrs, respectively
Then, $(5x+ 5) : (2x + 5) = 15 : 7$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5\text{x}+5}{2\text{x}+5}=\frac{15}{7}$
Cross multiplying; we get:
$\Rightarrow 35x + 35 = 30x + 75$
$\Rightarrow 5x = 40$
$\Rightarrow x = 8$
Then, the present age of $A$ is $5 \times 8 = 40$ years.
