8640*3/8 = 3240 + 960

                 = 4200.

Question 16. P And Q Started A Business With Respective Investments Of Rs. 4 Lakhs And Rs. 10 Lakhs. As P Runs The Business, His Salary Is Rs. 5000 Per Month. If They Earned A Profit Of Rs. 2 Lakhs At The End Of The Year, Then Find The Ratio Of Their Earnings?

Answer :

Ratio of investments of P and Q is 2 : 5 

Total salary claimed by P = 12 * 5000 = Rs. 60000 

Total profit = Rs. 2 lakhs. 

Profit is to be shared = Rs. 140000 

Share of P = (2/7) * 140000 = Rs. 400000

Share of Q = Rs. 100000

Total earnings of P = (60000 + 40000) = Rs. 100000

Ratio of their earnings = 1 : 1.

Question 17. Four Car Rental Agencies A, B, C And D Rented A Plot For Parking Their Cars During The Night. A Parked 15 Cars For 12 Days, B Parked 12 Cars For 20 Days, C Parked 18 Cars For 18 Days And D Parked 16 Cars For 15 Days. If A Paid Rs. 1125 As Rent For Parking His Cars, What Is The Total Rent Paid By All The Four Agencies?

Answer :

The ratio in which the four agencies will be paying the rents = 15 * 12 : 12 * 20 : 18 * 18 : 16 * 15

= 180 : 240 : 324 : 240 = 45 : 60 : 81 : 60

Let us consider the four amounts to be 45k, 60k, 81k and 60k respectively.

The total rent paid by the four agencies = 45k + 60k + 81k + 60k= 246k

It is given that A paid Rs. 1125

45k = 1125 => k = 25

246k = 246(25) = Rs. 6150

Thus the total rent paid by all the four agencies is Rs. 6150.

Question 18. A Started A Business With An Investment Of Rs. 70000 And After 6 Months B Joined Him Investing Rs. 120000. If The Profit At The End Of A Year Is Rs. 52000, Then The Share Of B Is?

Answer :

Ratio of investments of A and B is (70000 * 12) : (120000 * 6) = 7 : 6

Total profit = Rs. 52000

Share of B = 6/13 (52000) = Rs. 24000.

Question 19. A, B And C Started A Business With Capitals Of Rs. 8000, Rs. 10000 And Rs. 12000 Respectively. At The End Of The Year, The Profit Share Of B Is Rs. 1500. The Difference Between The Profit Shares Of A And C Is?

Answer :

Ratio of investments of A, B and C is 8000 : 10000 : 12000 = 4 : 5 : 6

And also given that, profit share of B is Rs. 1500

=> 5 parts out of 15 parts is Rs. 1500

Now, required difference is 6 - 4 = 2 parts

Required difference = 2/5 (1500) = Rs. 600.

Question 20. A And B Start A Business, With A Investing The Total Capital Of Rs.50000, On The Condition That B Pays A Interest @ 10% Per Annum On His Half Of The Capital. A Is A Working Partner And Receives Rs.1500 Per Month From The Total Profit And Any Profit Remaining Is Equally Shared By Both Of Them. At The End Of The Year, It Was Found That The Income Of A Is Twice That Of B. Find The Total Profit For The Year?

Answer :

Interest received by A from B = 10% of half of Rs.50000 = 10% * 25000 = 2500.

Amount received by A per annum for being a working partner = 1500 * 12 = Rs.18000.

Let 'P' be the part of the remaining profit that A receives as his share. Total income of A = (2500 + 18000 + P)

Total income of B = only his share from the remaining profit = 'P', as A and B share the remaining profit equally.

Income of A = Twice the income of B

(2500 + 18000 + P) = 2(P)

P = 20500

Total profit = 2P + 18000

= 2*20500 + 18000 = 59000.

Question 21. A Boat Goes 24 Km Downstream In 10 Hours, It Takes 2 Hours More To Cover The Same Distance Against The Stream. What Is The Speed Of The Boat In Still Water?

Answer :

Speed downstream = 24/10 km/hr = 2.4 km/hr 

Speed upstream = 24/12 km/hr = 2 km/hr

Question 22. A Steamer Goes Downstream From One Port To Another In 4 Hours, It Covers The Same Distance Upstream In 5 Hours. If The Speed Of The Stream Is 2km/hr,the Distance Between The Two Parts Is?

Answer :

Let the distance between the two parts be x km. 

Then speed downstream = x/4 km/hr. 

Speed Upstream = x/5 km/hr 

Speed of the stream = ½ (x/4 –x/5) 

Therefore, ½(x/4 –x/5) = 2. => x/4 –x/5 = 4 => x = 80. 

Hence, the distance between the two ports is 80km.

Question 23. A Boat Covers A Distance Of 30 Km In 2 ½ Hours Running Downstream While Returning It Covers The Same Distance In 3 ¾ Hours. What Is The Speed Of The Boat In Still Water?

Answer :

Speed downstream = (30 x 2/5)km/hr = 12km/hr

Speed upstream = (30 x 4/15) km/hr = 8 km/hr 

Speed of boat in still water = ½ (12 + 8)km/hr = 10 km/hr.

Question 24. The Speed Of A Motor Boat Is That Of The Current Of Water As 36:5. The Boat Goes Along With The Current In 5 Hours 10 Min, It Will Come Back In?

Answer :

Let the speed of motor boat be 36x km/hr and that of current of water be 5x km/hr 

Speed downstream = (36x +5x)km/hr = 41x km/hr 

Speed upstream = (36 -5x)km/hr = 31x km/hr 

Distance covered downstream = (41x × 31/6)km 

Distance upstream = [1271x/6 × 1/31x]hrs 

= 41/6 hrs = 6hrs 50 min.

Question 25. The Length Of A Rectangular Plot Is Increased By 25%. To Keep It’s Area Uncharged The Width Of The Plot Should Be?

Let the new breadth be 2 metres 

Then xy 5x/4 x 2 => 2 = 4/5 y 

Decreased in width =(y -4/5 y) = y/5 metres 

Decreased % in width =(y/5 x 1/y x 100)% = 20%.

Question 26. If The Length Of A Rectangle Is Increased By 20% And It’s Breadth Is Decreased By 20% Then It Area?

Answer :

Let length = x metres and breadth = y metres, then area =(xy) 

New length =(120/100x)m = 6x/5 m 

New breadth =(80/100 y)m 

New area =(6x/5 x 4y/5)m² = (24/25 xy)m² 

Decreased in area =(xy – 24/25 xy)m²= xy/25 m²

Decreased % =(xy/25 x 1/xy x 100)% = 4%.

Question 27. The Perimeter Of A Rectangle Is 60m. If It’s Length Is Twice Its Breadth Then Its Area Is?

Question 28. The Area Of A Rectangle Is 12 Sq.metres And It’s Length Is 3 Times That Of It’s Breadth. What Is The Perimeter Of The Rectangle?

Answer :

Let the breadth be x metres , then it’s length = 3x metres

=>3x × x =12 

=> x²= 4 

=> x =2 l=6m, b =2m 

=> Perimeter = 2(6+2)m = 16m.

Question 29. The Length Of A Rectangular Increased By 10% And It;s Breadth Is Decreased By 10 %. Then The Area Of The New Rectangle Is?

Answer :

Length of the be let ‘l’ units and breadth be b units 

Area =lb sq. Units 

Now length =(110/100 l) = 11l/10 

New breadth =(90/100 b) = 96/10 

Now area (11l/10 x 96/10)Sq.units = (99/100 lb)sq.unit 

Area decreased = (lb -99/100 lb)sq.units =lb/100 sq.Units 

Percentage decreased =(lb/100 x 1/lb x 100)% = 1%.
