    Option B
    Solution:

    Final ratio 5:4
    9 900
    5 ==> 500
    4 ==> 400
    Then
    8x+3y=500 —-1
    7x+2y=400—-2
    Solving equation 1 and 2 we get x=40, y=60
    Initially (8+7) 15*40=600.
  2. P and Q started business with Rs600 and Rs500 respectively. After 4 months, R replaces Q with X% of Q’s capital. After 1 year R’s share out of the total profit Rs24000 is Rs5600. Find the value of X.

    View Answer
    Option D
    Solution:

    P:Q:R=600*12: 500*4: (500*x/100 )*8
    =600*12: 500*4: 5x*8
    180:50:x
    Then (180+50+x)=230+x                           24000
    .             x                                                             5600
    ==>1610+7x=30x
    23x=1610
    X=70%.

    C) 6years
    D) 2years
    E) None
    View Answer
    Option A
    Solution:

    A + B = 41 —1
    C -1 = A + 2==> C = A + 3
    A + 4 = B – 1 ==> B = A + 5 —2
    From 1 and 2
    A = 18 years, B = 18 + 5 = 23 years, C = 18 + 3 = 21 years,
    A/D=3/4
    D=4/3*18=24years.
    Difference = 24 – 21 = 3 years.

    520=(55+30)85x-35x
    520=(85x-35x) /100
    X=1040.
