An amount of money is to be divided between P, Q and R in the ratio of 3:7:12. If the
difference between the shares of P and Q is Rs.X, and the difference between Q and R’s
share is Rs.3000. Find the total amount of money?
Correct
12a-7a = 3000
5a = 3000
a = 600
7a-4a = x
3a = x
x = 1800
22*600 = 13200
Incorrect
12a-7a = 3000
5a = 3000
a = 600
7a-4a = x
3a = x
x = 1800
22*600 = 13200

gets and B gets 1/3 of what C gets, which of the following is true
Seats for Mathematics, Science and arts in a school are in the ratio 5:7:8. There is a
proposal to increase these seats by X%, Y% and Z% respectively. And the ratio of
increased seats is 2:3:4, which of the following is true?
Correct
Number of increased seats are (140% of 5x), (150% of 7x) and (175% of 8x)
i.e., (140/100 * 5x), (150/100 * 7x) and (175/100 * 8x)
i.e., 7x, 21x/2 and 14x
Required ratio = 7x:21x/2:14x
= 14x : 21x : 28x = 2:3:4

Two candles of same height are lighted at the same time. The first is consumed in 3 hours
and second in 2 hours. Assuming that each candles burns at a constant rate, in how many
hours after being lighted, the ratio between the first and second candles becomes 2:1?
Correct
Height of both candles are same i.e. h
First one takes 6 hours to burn completely, so in one hour = h/3
Similarly second one will burn in one hour = h/2
Let after t time, ratio between their height is 2:1
so, remaining height of first candle = h – t*(h/3)
similarly for second candle = h – t*(h/2)
ratio given 2:1,
h – t*(h/3) / h – t*(h/2) = 2/1
Solving we get t = 9/2 = 4.5
Incorrect
Height of both candles are same i.e. h
First one takes 6 hours to burn completely, so in one hour = h/3
Similarly second one will burn in one hour = h/2
Let after t time, ratio between their height is 2:1
so, remaining height of first candle = h – t*(h/3)
similarly for second candle = h – t*(h/2)
ratio given 2:1,
h – t*(h/3) / h – t*(h/2) = 2/1
Solving we get t = 9/2 = 4.5
