   number of boys ‘x’           :             number of teacher’16’
   .      16                                                      56
   .                                      20 
   .    (56-20)=36                                  (20-16)=4
   .     So 36/4 = 9/1
   Now, x/16= 9/1, x=144
   
8. If the CI on a certain sum for 2 yrs at 10% per annum is Rs. 3150, what would be the SI on same rate for same time?

   View Answer

   Option B
   Solution –
   Let principal = Rs x
   CI for 2years in % = 21% (using successive method)
   21% of x = 3150
   x = 15000
   S.I = 15000*2*10/100 = Rs.3000
   
9. A started a business with initial investment of rs.12000, after 3 month B invest rs.15000 in this business. After 8 month from starting A withdrew one-fourth of his investment and B further invest 1/15 part of his investment.

   View Answer

   Option C
   Solution –
   (12000*8 + 9000*4) : (15000*5 + 16000*4)
   132 : 139
   Difference in profit sharing ration is= 139x – 132x = 7x
   Given 7x = 700, So x = 100
   B’s profit share = 139x = 13900

    View Answer

    Option E
    Solution –
    Let A, B, C fills a, b, c units per hour.
    Total units = 10*(a+b+C)
    Now, 3a = b+c and 2b = a+c
    Solving both,
    b = 4c/5 and a = 3c/5
    total units of work = 10c*(4/5 + 3/5 + 1) = 24c
    done by C in 24c/c = 24 hours
