A, B and C started a business by investing Rs. 12,800/-. Rs.16,800/- and Rs. 9,600/- respectively. If after 8 months B received Rs. 13,125/- as his share of profit, what amount did C get as his share of profit?
Rs. 7,800/-
Rs. 7,150/-
Rs. 7,750/-
Rs. 8,250/-
Rs. 7,500/-
Answer: Option E
Here the profit will be distributed in the ratio of their investments
i.e. 12800:16800:9600 → 16:21:12
Let 'x' be the total profit
we know that profit received by B = 13125/-
Therefore,
21 / (16+21+12) * x = 13125
Share received by C = (12 / 49) * 30625 = 7500/-
Hence, the answer is E.
Answer: Option A
(?)2 = (36⁄17 ÷ 27⁄34 - 19⁄25)
= [(57/17) / (75/34)] - 34/25
= 4/25
Therefore, ? = 2/5
Hence, answer is option A.
-676.76 + 1237.87 + 897.34 - ? = 1294.25
168.6
164.2
156.4
172.2
158.6
Answer: Option B
Applying BODMAS
? = -676.76 + 1237.87 + 897.34 - 1294.25
= 164.2
Hence, the answer is option B.
Pure milk costs Rs. 16/- per liter. After adding water the milkman sells the mixture @ Rs. 15/- per liter and thereby makes a profit of 25% in what respective ratio does he mix milk with water?
3 : 1
4 : 3
3 : 2
5 : 3
4 : 1
Answer: Option A
If SP of mixture is 15/- per liter and profit is 25%, then
CP of mixture = (100/125) * 15 = 12/- liter
As 16/- is the cost of pure 1000 ml, therefore, for 12/-, the quantity of milk =
(12/16) * 1000 = 750 ml
So for 12/- per liter, the milk is 750 ml, then water will be 250 ml.
Thus, required ratio = 750:250 = 3:1
Hence answer is option A.
What will come in place of question mark (?) in the given question?
36 38.8 42.8 ? 54.4 62
46.2
46.6
48.2
48
49
Answer: Option B
Here the given pattern is as follows:
36 38.8 42.8 ? 54.4 62
+2.8 +4.0 +5.2 +6.4 +7.6
+1.2 +1.2 +1.2 +1.2
So ? = 42.8 + 5.2 = 48
Hence answer is option D.
A merchant bought some goods worth Rs. 6,000/- and sold half of them at 12% profit. At what profit percent should he sell the remaining goods to make an overall profit of 18%?
24%
28%
18%
20%
26%
Answer: Option A
Let CPT = 6000/-
Therefore, cost of half of goods CP1= 3000/- and of other half goods = CP2= 3000/-
So, SP1=3000 × 1.12 = 3360/- and SPT= 6000 × 1.18 = 7080/-
Thus, SP2= 7080 – 3360 = 3720/-
Profit % = [(3720 - 3000) / (3000)] * 100 = 24%
Hence answer is option A
