1 Answer

Answer :

Let the two numbers be 3x and 4x.
When they are increased by 9 they become 3x + 9 and 4x + 9.
It is given that the ratio is 18:23
Thus, 3x + 9/4x + 9 = 18:23
23(3x + 9) = 18(4x + 9)
69x + 207 = 72x + 162
69x – 72x = 162- 207
 -3x = -45
X = 15
Thus two numbers are 3x15 = 45 and 4 x 15 = 60
And the sum is 60+45 = 105

Description : Suresh and Ramesh are twins. In a form by mistake, Suresh reverses the last 2 digits of his year of birth, and this makes him 9 years older than Ramesh. With this mistake, the sum of their ages in 2015 becomes 43. How old will Ramesh be 2021? a) 17 b) 19 c) 21 d) 23 e) 25

Last Answer : Let the correct ages of Ramesh and Suresh be X in 2015 (since they are twins, they will have the same age) Given: 2x + 9 = 43 Or x = 17 years in 2015. Age in 2021 = 17 + 6 = 23 Note: year of birth = 2015 – 17 = 1998. Reversing, Suresh = 1989 or 9 year older. Answer: d)

Description : The monthly incomes of two persons are in the ratio 5 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 9 : 7. If each person saves Rs. 500 per month, then what are their monthly incomes? a) Rs 8000 and Rs ... Rs 3750 and Rs 3000 c) Rs 5000 and Rs 4000 d) Rs 4500 and Rs 4000 e) None of the above

Last Answer : Let the incomes of two persons be 5x and 4x let the expenditures of them be 9y and 7y Each person saves Rs. 500 Therefore, 5x - 9y = 500 4x - 7y = 500 Solving the above equations, 20x - 36y = 2000 20x - ... = 500 + 9(500) = 5000 X = 1000 Hence, their salaries are Rs. 5000 and Rs. 4000 Answer: c)

Last Answer : Answer : D (70) ExplanationSum of ages is 360 years.The ratio of children and parents ages is 2:1. Total age of parents = 360 x 1 / 3 = 120 years Ratio of wife and husband age is 5:7. Therefore, the age of husband = 120 x 7 / 12 = 70 Hence the age of husband is 70 years.

A man who makes a profit of 25 percent by selling sugar at Rs. 4.25/kg., lowers his price so as to gain only 5 paise per Kg. In what ratio must his sales be increased so that his total profit may be the same as before? a) 1 : 5 b) 1 : 11 c) 1 : 13 d) 1 : 17 e) 1 : 21

Description : A man who makes a profit of 25 percent by selling sugar at Rs. 4.25/kg., lowers his price so as to gain only 5 paise per Kg. In what ratio must his sales be increased so that his total profit may be the same as before? a) 1 : 5 b) 1 : 11 c) 1 : 13 d) 1 : 17 e) 1 : 21

Last Answer : 125% C.P. of sugar per kg = Rs. 4.25 C.P of the sugar per kg = [4.25×100] / 125 = Rs. 3.40. thus, the profit on 1 kg 85 paise by reducing price to 5 paise, to make same profit he must sell, 85/5 = 17kg so required ratio = 1 : 17. Answer: d)
