- A
$5 : 4 : 3$
- ✓
$20 : 15 : 12$
- C
$9 : 12 : 15$
- D
$12 : 15 : 20$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $20 : 15 : 12$
As, $\text{a}:\text{b}=5:7$ and $\text{b}:\text{c}=6:11$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac57$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{6}{11}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{5\times6}{7\times6}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{6\times7}{11\times7}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{30}{42}$ and $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}=\frac{42}{77}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}:\text{b}=30:42$ and $\text{b}:\text{c}=42:77$
$\therefore\text{a}:\text{b}:\text{c}=30:42:77$

- ✓
$\frac{16}{13}$
- B
$\frac{13}{16}$
- C
$\frac{25}{22}$
- D
$\frac{20}{21}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{16}{13}$
As, $\text{a}:\text{b}=2:5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{2}{5}$
Let $\text{a}=\text{2x}$ and $\text{b}=5\text{5x}.$
Then,
$\frac{3\text{a}+\text{2b}}{4\text{a}+\text{b}}$
$=\frac{3\times2\text{x}+2\times\text{5x}}{4\times2\text{x}+5\text{x}}$
$=\frac{6\text{x}+10\text{x}}{8\text{x}+5\text{x}}$
$=\frac{16\text{x}}{13\text{x}}$
$=\frac{16}{13}$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(a).$

Let $\frac{1}{\text{x}}=2\text{k},\frac{1}{\text{y}}=3\text{k},\frac{1}{\text{z}}=5\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{1}{2\text{k}},\text{y}=\frac{1}{3\text{k}},\text{z}=\frac{1}{5\text{z}}$
$\therefore\text{x : y : z}=\frac{1}{2\text{k}}:\frac{1}{3\text{k}}:\frac{1}{5\text{k}}$

- A
$Rs. 100$
- B
$Rs. 1000$
- C
$Rs. 900$
- ✓
$Rs. 1100$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 1100$
For Rajni, $P = Rs. 3000.$
$R = 10\%$ Per annum
$T = 3$ year
$\therefore\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{3000\times10\times3}{100}=\text{Rs. }900$
$A = P + I = 3000 + 900 = Rs. 3900$
For Mohini, $P = Rs. 4000.$
$R = 10\%$ per annum
$\text{T}=2\frac{1}{2}\text{yr}=\frac{5}{2}\text{ year}$
$\therefore\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\times\text{R}\times\text{T}}{100}$
$=\frac{4000\times10\times5}{100\times2}=\text{Rs. }1000$
and $A = P + I = 4000 + 1000 = Rs. 5000$
Difference in amounts $= 5000 - 3900 = Rs. 1100$

At simple interest a sum becomes $\frac{49}{40}$ of itself in $2\frac{1}{2}$ years. The rate of interest per annum is:
- A
$7\%$
- B
$8\%$
- C
$12\%$
- ✓
$9\%$
AnswerAmount $=\frac{49}{40}$ times the sum $=\frac{49}{40}\text{P}$
Simple interest $(I) =$ Amount - Sum $=\frac{49}{40}\text{P}-\text{P}=\frac{9}{40}\text{P}$
Let the sum $(P)$ be $x.$
Then, simple interest $(I) =\frac{9}{40}\text{x}$
Rate $(R) = R%$
Time (T) $=2\frac{1}{2}\text{ years}=\frac{5}{2}\text{ years}$
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}\ \times\ \text{R}\ \times\ \text{T}}{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{100\ \times\ \text{I}}{\text{P }\times\text{ T}}$
$=\frac{100\ \times\frac{9}{40}\text{x}}{\text{x } \times\ \frac{5}{2}}$
$=\frac{45}{5}$
$=9\%$

and $SP$ of $20$ pens $= Rs. 15$ ($\because SP$ of $20$ pens $= CP$ of $15$ pens)
Therefore, $CP$ is more than $SP.$
So, Loss $= CP - SP$
$= Rs. 20 - Rs. 15$
$= Rs. 5$
Loss $\% =\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}}\times100$
$=\frac{5}{20}\times100$
$=25\%$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

If $CP = Rs. 950$ and gain $6\%$, then $SP =$
- A
$Rs. 1100$
- B
$Rs. 1117$
- ✓
$Rs. 1107$
- D
$Rs. 1170 $
AnswerCorrect option: C. $Rs. 1107$
Let the $SP$ be $x.$
$CP = Rs. 950$
Gain $= 6\%$
Therfore, $SP$ is more than $CP.$
Now,
Gain $= 6\%$ of $CP$
$=\frac{6}{100}\times950$
$= 3 \times 19$
$= 57$
Thus, $SP = CP +$ gain
$= Rs. 950 + Rs. 57$
$= Rs. 1007$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

At what rate percent per annum will $Rs. 1650$ amount to $Rs. 2046$ in $3$ years?
AnswerLet interest rate is $R$
Now Amount = Sum + Simple Intereset
$\Rightarrow2046=1650+\frac{(1650\times\text{R}\times3)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow2046-1650=\frac{(1650\times\text{R}\times3)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow396=\frac{(1650\times\text{R}\times3)}{100}$
$\Rightarrow1650\times\text{R}\times3=396\times100$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{(396\times100)}{(1650\times3)}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{(132\times100)}{1650}$ ($396$ and $3$ is divided by $3)$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{(132\times10)}{165}$ ($100$ and $1650$ is divided by $10)$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{(12\times10)}{15}$ ($132$ and $165$ is divided by $11)$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=\frac{(4\times10)}{5}$ ($12$ and $15$ is divided by $3)$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=4\times2$ ($10$ and $5$ is divided by $5)$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=8\%$

The simple interest on $Rs. 5000$ for $219$ days at $4\%$ per annum is.
AnswerThe simple interest on $Rs. 5000$ for $219$ days at $4\%$ per annum is
Given Time $= 219$ days
$=\frac{219}{365}\text{ years}$
Now Simple interest $=\frac{\big(\text{sum}\times\text{interest rate}\times\text{time}\big)}{100}$
$=\frac{\big(5000\times4(\frac{3}{5})\big)}{100}$
$=\frac{\big(5000\times4\times3\big)}{5\times100}$
$=\frac{\big(50\times3\times4\big)}{5}$
$=10\times3\times4$
$=120$

Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following:
A football is bought for $Rs. 120$ and sold for $Rs. 105$. The loss is:
- ✓
$12\frac{1}{2}\%$
- B
$14\frac27\%$
- C
$16\frac23\%$
- D
$13\frac13\%$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $12\frac{1}{2}\%$
$C.P. = Rs. 120$
$S.P. = Rs. 105$
Loss $= C.P. - S.P. = Rs. 120 - 105 = Rs. 15$
$\therefore\text{Loss}\%=\frac{15\times100}{120}$
$=\frac{25}{2}\%$
$=12\frac12\%$

Which of the following yields maximum interest for $2\ years?$
- A
$Rs. 1500$ at $8%$ per annum
- B
$Rs. 1000$ at $11%$ per annum
- C
$Rs. 2000$ at $5%$ per annum
- ✓
$Rs. 900$ at $20%$ per annum
AnswerCorrect option: D. $Rs. 900$ at $20%$ per annum
D. $Rs. 900$ at $20%$ per annum
Solution:
a. It is given that,Sum $(P_1) = Rs. 1500$
Rate $(R_1) = 8%$
Time $(T_1) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{\text{P}_1\ \times\ \text{R}_1\ \times\ \text{T}_1}{100}$
$\text{I}_1=\frac{1500\ \times\ 8\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$=240\ ...(\text{i})$.
B. It is given that,Sum $(P_2) = Rs. 1000$
Rate $(R_2) = 11%$
Time $(T_2) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_2=\frac{\text{P}_2\ \times\ \text{R}_2\ \times\ \text{T}_2}{100}$
$\text{I}_2=\frac{1000\ \times\ 11\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$=220\ ...(\text{ii})$
C. It is given that,Sum $(P_3) = Rs. 2000$
Rate $(R_3) = 5%$
Time $(T_3) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_3=\frac{\text{P}_3\ \times\ \text{R}_3\ \times\ \text{T}_3}{100}$
$\text{I}_3=\frac{2000\ \times\ 5\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$=200\ ...(\text{iii})$
D. It is given that,Sum $(P_4) = Rs. 900$
Rate $(R_4) = 20%$
Time $(T_4) = 2 years$
$\text{I}_4=\frac{\text{P}_4\ \times\ \text{R}_4\ \times\ \text{T}_4}{100}$
$\text{I}_4=\frac{900\ \times\ 20\ \times\ 2}{100}$
$=360\ ...(\text{iv})$
From $(i), (ii), (iii)$ and $(iv),$
$Rs. 900$ at $20%$ per annum yields maximum interest for $2$ years.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
