Answers with Explanation :-
Q-1 Ratio of shares A , B , C = ratio of their investments = 120000 : 135000 : 150000 = 8 : 9 : 10
A’s share = ( 56700 8/27 ) = 16800
B’s share = ( 56700 9/27 ) = 18900
C’s share = ( 56700 10/27 ) = 21000
Q-2 Ratio of the capitals of A , B , C = 20000 5 + 15000 7 : 20000 5 + 16000 7 : 20000 5 + 26000 7
205000 : 212000 : 282000 = 205 : 212 : 282
A’s share = ( 69900 205/699) = 20500
B’s share = (69900 212 / 699 ) = 21200
C’s share = ( 69900 282/699 ) = 28200
Q-3 Let B joined after x month . Then, B’s money was invested for ( 12 – x ) month
( 76000 12 ) / ( 57000 { 12 – x }) = 2/1
912000 = 114000 ( 12 – x ), 912 = 114 ( 12 – x ) , x = 4
Hence , B joined after 4 months .
Q-4 Ratio of their share = 22500 : 35000 : = 9 : 14
Deeepak share = ( 13800 14 /23 ) = 8400
Q-5 Ratio of their shares = ( 35000 8 ) : ( 42000 10 ) = 2 : 3
Reena’s share = ( 31570 2/5) = 12628
Q-6 Aman : Rakhi : Sagar = ( 70000 36 ) : ( 105000 30 ) : ( 140000 24 ) = 12 : 15 : 16
Q-7 A : B : C = ( 25 lakh 1 ) : ( 35 lakh 2 ) : ( 35 lakh 2 + 25 lakh 1 ) : ( 30 lakh 3 )
95 lakh : 95 lakhs : 90 lakhs = : 19 : 19 : 18
Q-8 Let C = x . Then B = ( x + 5000 ) & A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000
So , x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000 , 3x = 36000 , x = 12000
A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12
A’s share ( 35000 21 50 ) = 14700
Q-9 Let C = x . Then B = 4x & 2A = 3 4x = 12x or A = 6x
A : B : C = 6x : 4x : x = 6 : 4 : 1
So B’s capital = ( 16500 4/11 ) = 6000
Q-10 A : B = 3 : 2 , B : A = 2 : 3 = 4 : 6 & A : C = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3
So B : A : C = 4 : 6 : 3 or A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3
B’s share = ( 157300 4/13 ) = 48400
Q-11 Ratio of initial investments = 7/2 : 4/3 : 6/5 = 105 : 40 : 36
Let the initial investments be 105 x , 40x , 36x
A : B : C = ( 105x 4 + 150/100 105x 8 ) : ( 5x 4 + 5x/2 8 )
1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9
Hence B’s share = ( 21600 10/54 ) = 4000
Q-12 Let Y invested Rs y . Then 40000 /y = 2/3 or y = 60000
Q-13 Let B joined for x month . Then ( 85000 12 ) / 42500 x = 3/1
x = 8 , so B joined for 8 month .
Q-14 Let the total profit be x , then B = 2x/7 & A = ( x – 2x/7 ) = 5x/7
So A : B = 5x/7 : 2x /7 = 5 : 2
Let B’s capital be Rs y . Then , ( 16000 8 ) / ( y 4 ) = 5/2 , y = 12800
Q-15 Let the total profit be Rs 100
After paying to charity , A’s share = ( 95 3/5 ) = 57
If A’s share is 57 , then total profit = 100
If A’s share is 855 , total profit = ( 10057 855 ) = 1500
Q-16 Let 4A = 6B = 10 C = k
Therefore we can say that A = k/4 , B = k /6 , C = k /10
A : B : C = k/4 : k/6 : k /10 = 15 : 10 : 6
Therefore we can say that C’s share is = ( 4650 6 / 31) = 900
Here we use 6 because C’s ratio is 6
Q-17 Let A’s investments be x
Then , ratio of capitals = ( x 12 ) : ( 2x 6 ) : ( 3x 4 ) = 12x : 12x : 12x = 1: 1: 1
Therefore C’s share is = ( 27000 1 / 3) = 9000
Q-18 Let the initial investments of A & B is 3x & 5x
A : B : C = ( 3x 12 ) : ( 5x 12 ) : ( 5x 6 ) = 36 : 60 : 30 = 6 : 10 : 5
Q-19 Ratio of initial investments = ½ : 1/3 : ¼ = 6 : 4 : 3
Let their initials investments be 6x , 2x , 3x
A : B : C = ( 6x 2 + 3x 10 ) : ( 4x 12 ) : ( 3x 12 ) = 42 : 48 : 36 = 7 : 8 : 6
B’s share is = ( 378 8 /21 ) = 144
Q-20 Let A’s investments x /6 for y /6 months . Then , B’s investments is Rs x / 3 for y/3 months.
C invests[ x – (x/6 + x/3)] i. e., Rs. x/2 for y months.
There for A:B:C = (x/6 y/6) : (x/3 y/3) : (x/2 y) = 1/36 : 1/9 : ½ = 1 : 4 : 18.
Hence, B’s share = Rs. (4600 4/23 ) = Rs. 800.
Q-21 A : B : C = 27000 : 72000 : 81000 = 3 : 8 : 9. So, C’s share : Total profit = 9 : 20.
Let the total profit be Rs x. Then, 9 / 20 = 36000 / x or x = (36000 20 / 9) = 80000.
Q-22 Suppose B invested Rs x & y month . Then , A invested Rs 3x for 2y months .
So A: B = ( 3x 2y ) : ( x y ) = 6xy : xy = 6 : 1
Therefore B’s profit : total profit = 1 : 7
Suppose total profit be x . Then 1/7 = 4000 / x , or x = 28 000
Q-23 Let the total profit = z
20 % of x = 98000 , x = 490 000
Let the capitals of P , Q , R be 5x , 6x & 6x
( 5x 12 ) + ( 6x 12 ) + ( 6x 6 ) = 490 000 12
x = 35 000
R’s investments = 6x = 6( 35000 ) = 210 000
Q-24 Let their investments be Rs x for 14 months , y for 8 months & z for 7 months
Then 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8
14x / 8y = 5/7 , y = 7/4 z
14x /7z = 5/8 , z = 112 / 35 x = 16 /5 x
x: y : z = x : 7/4 x : 16/5 x = 30 : 35 : 64
Q-25 Let the total profit be z
B’s share is = 2z/3, A’s share = Rs. z/3.
There for A : B = z / 3 : 2z /3 = 1 : 2.
Let the total capital be rate x & suppose B’s money was used for x months. Then ,

Answers With Explanatios :
1. Multiplied by 2 & increased by 3
5 2= 10, 10 +3 = 13, 13 2 = 26, 26 + 3 = 29
There for missing number is 61 2 = 122
2. 13 + 1, 23 + 1, 33 +1, 43 + 1, 53 + 1
There for missing number is 63 + 1= 217.
3. Difference between consecutive no; increased by 1
2 +3 + 4 + 5---------
There for missing number is 16 + 6 = 22.
4. It is a combination of two series = 5, 6, 7, & 9, 11, (--------)
There for missing number is 11+ 2 = 13.
5. Series consists of Prime no:.
There for missing number is 43.
6. Sequence is – 11 , – 13 , – 15 , – 13------------
There for missing number is 45 – 11 = 34.
7. Sum of any three consecutive terms of the series gives the next term.
Thus, 1 +3 +4 = 8; 3+4+8 = 15; 4+8+15= 27 & so on.
There for missing number is 8+ 15 +27 = 50.
8. 33 is subtracted from each term of the series to obtain the next term.
There for missing number is 113 – 33 = 80
9. The sequence is +8, +8, +16, +16, +24----------
There for missing number is 73 + 24 = 97
10. The sequence is +3, +6, +12, +24, ------------
There for missing number is 47 9 +48 = 95.
11. Alternately we add 3 & subtract 1.
Thus 9 +3=12, 12 – 1 = 11, 11+3 = 14 & so on.
There for missing number is 13+3= 16.
12. In each term 15 multiplied a prime no. i. e.
15 11, 1513, 1517, 15 19, 1523,
There for missing number is = 1529 = 435.
13. The sequence is +5, +8, +11, +14, +17, +20
There for 47 breaks this sequence & The correct sequence is =46
14 Suppose the terms of the series as A, B, C, D-------------
Then the sequence is A2+1, B3+ 1, C2+1, D3+1
There for wrong number is 356.
15. Each term at even place in the series, except 100 is obtained multiplying the preceding term by 2.
There for wrong number is 100 & the correct term is 96.
16 each number in the series is multiplied by 2 & the result is increased by 1 to obtain the next number
17 The no. are cube of prime number , i.e 23 , 33 , 53 , 73 ----------------
18 The sequence is , +7 , +5 , + 7 , + 5
19 The sequence is , +5 , + 8 , + 11 , + 14 , +17 , +30
20 The correct sequence is 52 , 72 , 92 , --------------------
21 The sequence is , +12 , +22 , +32 , ------------------
22 The nos. are 12 + 1 , 22 + 1 , -------------------------
23 The terms are successively divided by 12 , 10 , 8 , 6
24 The sequence is , – 1 , – 3 , – 5 , -----------------------
25 The sequence is , – 20 , – 25 , – 30 , – 35 --------------
