Question 1 of 5
1. Question
In a factory, the ratio of the numbers of employees of three types A, B and C is 9: 13 :18 and their wages are in the ratio of 10: 7 :4. If number of employees of type C is 54 and wages of every employee of type B is Rs. 1400, then find the total wages of all the employees of type A.
Correct
Answer : b
Given ratio of employees = 9 13:18
Let number of A’s employees 9x
Number of B’s employees = 13x
and number of C’s employees = 18x
According to the question,
18x = 54
∴x = 3
∴Number of employees of type A
= 9 x 3 = 27
Similarly, Wages of every employee of type A = (10/7)´1400 = 2000
Required wages = 27 x 2000 = Rs.54000

Number of employees in a factory decreases in the ratio of 8 : 7 and salary of employees increases in the ratio of 5:6. Find wheather the total salary given to the employees is increased or decreased and in what ratio?
Correct
Answer : d
Let total number of employees in
beginning = 8 K and total number of
employees in present = 7K
of employees in
Let salary of an employee in beginning = 5l
and salary of an employee in present = 6l
∴Total salary in beginning
= 8K x 5l = 40 Kl
and total salary in present
= 7K x 6l = 42Kl
Required ratio = 40 KI : 42 KI = 20: 21
Clearly, salary is increased.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Out of 120 applications for a post, 70 are males and 80 have a driver’s license. What is the ratio between the minimum to maximum number of males having driver’s license ?
Correct
Answer : c
Since, there are 70 males out of 120 applicants, there must be 50 females.
For the minimum number of males to have a driver’s license all 50 females must have a driver’s license.
Thus, the number of males having a driver’s license, will be 80-50=30.
The Maximum possible number of males having a driver’s license is 70.
The ratio between the minimum and the maximum is 30 : 70 or 3: 7.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
In a certain examination, the number of those who passed was 4 times the number of those who failed. If there had been 35 fewer candidates and 9 more had failed, the ratio of passed and failed candidates would have been 2: 1, then the total number of candidates was
Correct
Answer : b
Let the number of failed and passed
candidates be x and 4x, respectively.
Therefore, total number of candidates was
5x.
According to the question,
If total number of students had been5x – 35,
Then (4x-35-9)/(x+9) = 2/1
4x – 44 = 2 (x + 9)
4x – 2x = 18 + 44
2x = 62
x = 31
Thus, total number of candidates was 31 x 5
i.e., 155.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Rs. 710 were divided among A, B and C in such a way that A had Rs. 40 more than B and C had Rs. 30 more than A. How much was C’s share?
Correct
Answer : a
Let B gets x.
Then, A gets (x + 40) and C gets (x + 70).
According to the question,
x + 40 + x + x + 70 = 710
3x = 710 – 110 = 600
X = 600/3 = 200
∴C’s share = 200 + 70 = Rs.270
Incorrect
Answer : a
Let B gets x.
Then, A gets (x + 40) and C gets (x + 70).
According to the question,
x + 40 + x + x + 70 = 710
3x = 710 – 110 = 600
X = 600/3 = 200
∴C’s share = 200 + 70 = Rs.270
