    160
    None of these
    Option B
    Let number of sudents in 4 sections be a,b,c and d respectively.
    1/2 of a=1/3 ofb=1/4 of c=1/5 of d
    Therefore,a:b;c:d=2:3:4:5
    So students in first and second section=[(2+3)/(2+3+4+5)]*420=150

     

  2. The ratio of the incomes of Akansha and Brijesh last year was 9:13.The ratio of their incomes of last year to this year is 9:10 and 13:15 respectively.The sum of their preset incomes is Rs 50000.What is the present income of Brijesh?

    Total incomes of Akansha and Bnaya lasy ear-10x+15y=10x+15x=25x
    25x=50000
    x=2000
    So income of Brijesh=15y=15x=15*2000=Rs 30000
