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. A and B together have Rs. 1210. If 4/15 of A's amount is equal to 2/5 of B's amount. How much amount B have.

Rs 484
Rs. 480
Rs 478
Rs 470

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In this type of question, we will first try to calculate the ratio of two persons. Once we get ratio then we can easily get our answer. So lets solve this.

\begin{aligned}
\frac{4}{15}A = \frac{2}{5}B \\
A = \left(\frac{2}{5}*\frac{14}{4}\right)B \\
A = \frac{3}{2}B \\
\frac{A}{B} = \frac{3}{2} \\
A:B = 3:2 \\
\text{B's Share = }\frac{2}{5}*1210 = 484
\end{aligned}

2. In a mixture 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water 2 : 1. If the this ratio is to be 1 : 2, then the quanity of water to be further added is

20 liters
30 liters
50 liters
60 liters

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Quantity of Milk = 60*(2/3) = 40 liters
Quantity of water = 60-40 = 20 liters

As per question we need to add water to get quantity 2:1

=> 40/(20+x) = 1/2
=> 20 + x = 80
=> x = 60 liters

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. 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}
