    View Answer
    Option C
    Solution:

    Let x be he travels the part 20 kmph.
    Distance covered in this x hours = 20x km
    then traveled the balance (8 – x) hours at 70 kmph.
    Distance covered in this (8 – x) hours = (8 – x) * 70 = (560 – 70x) km
    The total distance traveled = 20x + 560 – 70x = 400
    160 = 50 x
    x = 160/50 = 3.2 hours = 3 hours and 12 minutes .
  9. A, B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio 7/2:4/3:6/5. After 4 months, A increases his share 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs.22680, then C’s share in the profit is:

    Then the new ratio
    [(105x*4)+(150/100*105x*8)] : 40x*12 : 36x*12
    =1680x: 480x:432x=35:10:9
    Then (35+10+9)54 22680
    9 ?==> Rs3780.

    Let original length = x and original breadth = y.
    Decrease in area
    =xy – (80/100x * 90/100y)
    =xy – 18/25xy
    =7/25xy.
    Decreased %ge = (7/25xy *1/xy*100)= 28%.
