In a joint business, the capital of A, B and C were Rs. 45000, Rs. 30000 and Rs. 22500 respectively. A withdrew half of his capital after 4 months. After 9 months of this withdrawal, there was a total profit of Rs. 28400. Find the A share of profit?	Choose the correct option
A) 10600  B) 10400  C) 10200  D) 12200  E) 14200

Solution: Given A=45000 B=30000 10200=22500   A:B:10200= 450:300:225   As A withdrew its half of capital after 4 months,it can withdraw 22500 rupees   But before 4 months, it is 45000 only and the profit is calculated after withdrwal it is almost  9+4= 
 9+4 = 13
13 months.For that 9 months, the capital for A is half of its original capital,   So A= 450*4+ 225*9= 1800+2025= 
1800+2025 = 3_825
3825   Similarly, B= 300*13= 
300*13 = 3_900
3900   Similarly,10200= 225*13= 
225*13 = 2_925
2925   Therefore, ratio of A:B:10200= 3825: 3900 : 2925= 51:52:39   A's share=51/142(28400)=10200   ANSWER:10200

Jack have 5200 meats.If exactly 30% of the meats are roast. What Percentage(approximately) of Unroast Meats so that half of the meats are roast?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 27
B) 26.5
C) 27.32
D) 29
E) 28

Solution: Number of meats=5200   Currently roast=5200*30/100= 
5200*30/100 = 1_560
1560   Unroast meats=5200-1560= 
5200-1560 = 3_640
3640   Half of all Meats=2600   The number of meats to be roast to make half of all meats roast =2600-1560= 
2600-1560 = 1_040
1040   So now the question remains - 1040 is how much percentage of unroast meats (3640)= 1040*100/3640   =28.57~28   Answer (28)

Ram spends 30% of his salary on house rent, 30% of the rest he spends on his children's education and 24% of the total salary he spends on clothes. After his expenditure, he is left with Rs. 2500. What is Ram's salary?	Select
A) Rs. 11,494.25	B) Rs. 20,000	C) Rs. 10,000	D) Rs. 15,000	E) None of these

Solution: Solution: Let Ram's salary be x.   He spends on rent = 30% of x = 30x/100.   He spends on education = 30% from rest of the salary= (30*70x)/(100*100) = 21x/100.   He Spends on clothes = 24% of total salary = 24x/100.   Saving = 2500.   Salary of ram = x.   (30x/100) + (21x/100) + (24x/100) + 2500 = x.   (75x/100) = x-2500.   75x = 100x-250000.   Or, 100x-77x = 250000.   Or, x = 250000/25.   Or, x = 10000.   Ram's salary = Rs. 10000.   Answer: Option Rs. 10,000

A) Rs. 3000	B) Rs. 4000	C) Rs. 6000	D) Rs. 9000	E) Rs. 4500

Solution: Solution: Let income of A and B be 3x and 2x respectively. Also, their expenditure is 5y and 3y.   Now, according to question,   3x-5y = 1000 ------- (i)*3   2x-3y = 1000	---------- (ii)*5   9x-15y-10x+15y = 3000-5000;   Or, -x = -2000;   Or, x = 2000;   Then, income of A = 3x = 3*2000 = Rs. 6000.   Answer: Option Rs. 6000

In her backyard, Florry grows only yellow roses and white roses. Some of the rose bushes have flowers of both colors, and some have flowers of one color only. The number of rose bushes that have only yellow roses is 50% greater than the number of rose bushes that have only white roses. If there are yellow roses on 80% of Florry's rose bushes, then what percent W of her bushes have only yellow roses?  Answers: A) 20 B) 30 C) 50 D) 70 E) 80

Solution: let, the number of bushes with only yellow flowers be x   so, number of bushes with only yellow flowers will be 1.5x   if total number of bushes of flowers= T   then total number of bushes with yellow flowers= 0.8T   we can say that total number of bushes with yellow flowers+ bushes with only white flowers= total number of bushes with flowers   so, W=0.8T+x=T   x=0.2T   so, 1.5x=0.3T   30% flowers are yellow flowers   OA 30

Mother, daughter and an infant combined age is 74, and mother's age is 46 more than daughter and infant. If infant age is 0.4 times of daughter age, then find daughters age.  Choose one
A) 22
B) 10
C) 37
D) 38
E) 32

Solution: Assume M + D + I = 74; .................(1)   Also given M - D - I = 46 ⇒⇒ M = D + I + 46   Also I = 0.4 D ⇒⇒ I = 2/5 D   Substituting M and I values in the first equation we get D - 2525D - 46 + D + 2525D = 74   Solving D = 10   Answer:10

Answer: B
Walking at 8KMPH From Point T to Point railway station, mike will miss the train by 5 minutes. If he walks at 10KMPH he will reach the station by 5 minutes early.What is the distance between Point T to Railway station?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) A)9KM B) B)6.66KM C) C)7.25KM D) D)12.40KM E) E)13KM

Solution: Since time differences given are in minutes so let's convert speed in Km per minute   8 kmph = 8/60 km per minute = (2/15) km per minute   10 kmph = 10/60 km per minute = (1/6) km per minute   Let, Time of train to depart from station = t minutes   Distance between Point T and Railway Station = Speed*Time = (2/15)*(t+5)   Distance between Point T and Railway Station = Speed*Time = (1/6)*(t-5)   i.e. (2/15)*(t+5) = (1/6)*(t-5)   i.e. 12t+60 = 15t - 75   i.e. 3t = 135   i.e. t = 45 minutes   i.e. Distance = (1/6)*(t-5) = (1/6)*(45-5) = 40/6 = 20/3 Km = 6.66 Km   Answer: Option 6.66KM

Answer: A
x is a positive integer less than 300. When x is divided by 7, the remainder is 1; when x is divided by 3, the remainder is 2. How many x are there?  Choose the correct option.
A) 21
B) 22
C) 23
D) 24
E) 25

Solution: the nubmer which when divided by 7 leaves remainder 1 should be of the form 7k+1   this number when divided by 3 leaves remainder 2.   so,   (7k+1)-2 should be divisible by 3 or 7k-1 should be divisible by 3.   we now put the values of k starting from 0 to find first number divisible by 3   we find 1st number at k= 1   thus smallest number will be 7(1)+1 = 8   now,   next number will be = 8+ lcm of 37   i.e 29   now we will find number of all such values less than 500 by using the formula for last term of an a.p   8+(n-1)21=300   n=22.13   or n= 22   Answer:- 22
Answer: B
