In a partnership for a business, Changaz invests Rs.6000 for complete year & Nasir invests Rs.3000 for 6 months. What is Nasir’s share if they earn Rs.240 as profit?

In a partnership for a business, Changaz invests Rs.6000 for complete year & Nasir invests Rs.3000 for 6 months. What is Nasir’s if they earn Rs.240 as profit?

A. 120
B. 80
C. 192
D. 48
If A invests amount C1 for T1 time and his of profit is P1, and B invests amount C2 for T2 time and his of profit is P2, then, C1 * T1 / C2 * T2 = P1/P2
If P is the Nasir’s of profit, then Changaz gets (240 – P)
Therefore, 6000 * 12 / 3000 * 6 = (240 – P) / P = 72/ 18 = 4
4P = (240 – P)
5P = 240
P = 48

The ratio of two numbers is 5:9. If each number is decreased by 5, the ratio becomes 5:11. Find the numbers.

The ratio of two numbers is 5:9. If each number is decreased by 5, the ratio becomes 5:11. Find the numbers.

A. 30, 19
B. 21, 37
C. 15, 34
D. 15, 27
Let the two numbers be 5x and 9x.
(5x-5)/(9x-5) = 5:11
(5x-5)*11 = (9x-5)*5
55x – 55 = 45x – 25
10x = 30
x = 3
Therefore, the numbers are 15 and 27.

Two kinds of rice, 1st costs Rs.13 per kg and 2nd costs Rs.19 per kg are mixed together. Find the ratio in which the 2 types are mixed so that the mixture costs Rs.14.2 per kg?

Two kinds of rice, 1st costs Rs.13 per kg and 2nd costs Rs.19 per kg are mixed together. Find the ratio in which the 2 types are mixed so that the mixture costs Rs.14.2 per kg?

A. 3:1
B. 4:1
C. 3:4
D. 4:3
Let the total quantity of mixture be 1. If quantity of 1st type is x then quantity of the 2nd type will be (1-x)
Therefore, 13x + 19(1-x) = 14.2
13x -19x + 19 = 14.2
4.8 = 6x
x = 0.8 ; (1-x) = 0.2
Therefore, the ratio is 0.8 : 0.2 = 4:1
