Question Detail

If 40% of a number is equal to two-third of another number, what is the ratio of first number to the second number.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the first number is A and second number is B.

As per question

\begin{aligned}
\frac{40}{100}A = \frac{2}{3}B \\

\frac{A}{B} = \frac{2}{3}*\frac{100}{40} \\
\frac{A}{B} = \frac{5}{3} \\
=> A:B = 5:3

\end{aligned}

1. If Rs. 782 is divided into three parts, proportional to
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4}
\end{aligned}

find the first part.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4} \\
= 6:8:9\\
\text{First part =} 782 * \frac{6}{23} \\
= 204
\end{aligned}

2. If A:B:C = 2:3:4, then find

\begin{aligned}
\frac{A}{B}:\frac{B}{C}:\frac{C}{A}

\end{aligned}

5:9:24
6:9:24
7:9:24
8:9:24

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let A = 2x, B = 3x, C = 4x, then,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{A}{B} = \frac{2x}{3x} = \frac{2}{3} \\
\frac{B}{C} = \frac{3x}{4x} = \frac{3}{4} \\
\frac{C}{A} = \frac{4x}{2x} = \frac{2}{1} \\

=> \frac{A}{B}:\frac{B}{C}:\frac{C}{A} \\
= \frac{2}{3}:\frac{3}{4}:\frac{2}{1} \\
= 8:9:24

\end{aligned}

3. The salaries of A, B and C are of ratio 2:3:5. If the increments of 15%, 10% and 20% are done to their respective salaries, then find the new ratio of their salaries.

20:33:60
21:33:60
22:33:60
23:33:60

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let A salary be 2k
B salary be 3k and C salary be 5k

\begin{aligned}
\text{A's new salary = }\frac{115}{100}*2k \\
= \frac{23}{10}k \\
\text{B's new salary = }\frac{110}{100}*3k \\
= \frac{33}{10}k \\
\text{C's new salary = }\frac{120}{100}*5k \\
= 6k \\

\text{New ratio = }\\
\frac{23k}{10}:\frac{33k}{10}:6k \\
= 23:33:60 \\
\end{aligned}

4. If 2 : 9 :: x : 18, then find the value of x

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Treat 2:9 as 2/9 and x:18 as x/18, treat :: as =

So we get 2/9 = x/18
=> 9x = 36
=> x = 4

5. A dog takes 3 leaps for every 5 leaps of a hare. If one leap of the dog is equal to 3 leaps of the hare, the ratio of the speed of the dog to that of the hare is

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Dog : Hare = (3*3) leaps of hare : 5 leaps of hare
= 9 : 5
