Ratio of salaries
Akash : Babloo : Cintu 2 : 3 : 5
Let the common ratio be 'k'
Then, salaries of Akash, Babloo and chintu will be 2k, 3k and 5k, respectively.
Now, 15% increase in Akash's salary = 15% of 2k
= 15 x 2k/100 = 0.3k
New salary = 2k + 0.3k = 2.3k
Also, 10% increase in Babloo's salary = 10% of 3k
= 10 x 3k/100 = 0.3k
∴ New salary = 3k + 0.3k = 3.3k
Again, 20%increase in Chintu's salary = 20% of 5k
= 20 x 5k/100 = 1k
New salary = 5k + k = 6kCorrect Option: B
Ratio of salaries
Akash : Babloo : Cintu 2 : 3 : 5

Then, salaries of Akash, Babloo and chintu will be 2k, 3k and 5k, respectively.
Now, 15% increase in Akash's salary = 15% of 2k
= 15 x 2k/100 = 0.3k
New salary = 2k + 0.3k = 2.3k
Also, 10% increase in Babloo's salary = 10% of 3k
= 10 x 3k/100 = 0.3k
∴ New salary = 3k + 0.3k = 3.3k
Again, 20%increase in Chintu's salary = 20% of 5k
= 20 x 5k/100 = 1k
New salary = 5k + k = 6k
∴ New ratio = Ratio of new salaries = 2.3k : 3.3k : 6k
On multiplying with 10 and dividing by k ratio will be 23 : 33 : 60.

According to the question
Expenses ∞ (income)2
⇒ 9000 = K (15000 )2
∴ K = 9000/(15000)2
= 1/25000
Again E = K x 12
⇒ 1 = K x 12 [∴ exenses = income]Correct Option: D
According to the question
Expenses ∞ (income)2
⇒ 9000 = K (15000 )2
∴ K = 9000/(15000)2
= 1/25000
Again E = K x 12
⇒ 1 = K x 12 [∴ exenses = income]
∴ 1 = 1/K = 25000
∴ Required answer = ₹ 25000
- A cat takes 5 leaps for every 4 leaps of a a dog but 3 leaps of the dog are equal to 4 leaps of the cat. What is the ratio of the speeds of the cat to that of the dog ?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
4 leaps of cat = 3 leaps of dog
⇒ 1 leap of cat = 3/4 leap dog
Cat takes 5 leaps for every 4 leaps of dog
∴ Required ratio = (5 x Cat's leap ) : ( 4 x Dog's leap)Correct Option: D
4 leaps of cat = 3 leaps of dog
⇒ 1 leap of cat = 3/4 leap dog
Cat takes 5 leaps for every 4 leaps of dog
∴ Required ratio = (5 x Cat's leap ) : ( 4 x Dog's leap)
= (5 x 3/4 dog's leap) : (4 x Dog's leap)
= 15 : 16
- The respective ratio of Sita's Riya's and Kunal's monthly incomes is 84 : 76 : 89. If riya's annual income ₹ 456000, then what is the sum of Sita and Kunal's annual incomes ? (In some cases monthly income and in some cases annual income is used). ?

Let monthly income of Sita Riya and Kunal be 84k, 76k and 89k, respectively.
Given annual income of Riya = 456000
∴ Monthly income of Riya = 456000/12 = 38000
∴ 76k = 38000 ⇒ k = 500
So, the monthly income of Sita and Kunal = 84k + 89k = 173k
= 173 x 500 = 86500Correct Option: D

- ₹ 2186 are distributed among A, B and C . If money given to them is decreased by ₹ 26, ₹ 28 and ₹ 32 respectively, then they have money in the ratio of 9 :13 : 8. What is the amount given to A?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Amount given to A= 9k + 26
Amount given to B = 13k + 28
and amount given to C = 8k + 32
According to the question,
(9k + 26) + (13k + 28) + (8k + 32) = 2186Correct Option: C
Amount given to A= 9k + 26
Amount given to B = 13k + 28
and amount given to C = 8k + 32
According to the question,
(9k + 26) + (13k + 28) + (8k + 32) = 2186
⇒ 30 k + 86 = 2186
⇒ 30 k = 2100
∴ k = 70
Hence, amount given to A = 9k + 26 = 9 x 70 + 26
= 630 + 26 = ₹ 656
