Q75.	The ratio between A's and Bs salary was 3:4,two year ago . The ratio's of individual salaries of A and B two year's ago and this year's salaries are 4:5 and 2:3 respectively. At present the total of their salary is Rs.4290. What is present salary of A ?

1)	Rs.1560	2)	Rs.1600
3)	Rs.1650	4)	Rs.1840
5)	None of these

Answer : Rs.1650
Explanation :

Let, two year ago ,the ratio of between A'and B's salary was 3x: 4x respectively.

The ratio of their individual salary between two years ago and this year is 4y:5y and 2z:3z respectively.

So, 4y = 3x (A's last year salary)

or y = .75x and 2z = 4x (B's last year salary)

or z = 2x

Now, the total of their salary is Rs.4290 .

So, 5y + 3z = Rs.4290

Replace y with .75x; replace z with 2x

So, 5(.75x) + 3(2x) = 4290

or 3.75x + 6x = Rs.4290 or 9.75x = 4290

or x = 4290/9.75 = 440

Then, A's present salary 3.75 (440) = Rs.1650

Q76.	Alok takes 8 more days than Bikas to finish a work. Alok and Bikas start the work and Bikas leaves the task 9 days before the work is finished. If Alok completes 75% of the overall work, how long would Alok have taken to finish the work if he had worked independently?

1)	8 days	2)	10 days
3)	12 days	4)	14 days
5)	None of these

Answer : 14 days
Explanation : Let, Bikas takes x days to finish the work . So, Alok would take (x +8) days to finish the same work.

Given, Alok finishes 75% and Bikas finishes 25% work respectively.

So, (x+8)3/4 = (x/4)+9

or (3x+24)/4 = (x+36)/4

or 2x = 12

or x = 6

Therefore, Alok would finishes the work (6+8) = 14 days alone.

Q78.	A sells his books cost Rs.500 to B at a profit of 30%. After some period of time, B sells the same book to A at a loss of 20%. What is the total % of profit or loss in the whole trading ?

1)	4% profit	2)	4% loss
3)	26% profit	4)	26% loss
5)	None of these

Answer : 26% profit
Explanation : Let, CP of A = 100 , SP of B from A = 130 i.e. profit = 30/

Again , some days B sells in return to A at loss of 20% i.e. the CP of A again = 130 x (80/100) = 104

So ,in the whole trade , he gets actual profit = (30-4) = 26 i.e. 26%

Q79.	Two partners invested Rs.20,000 and Rs.12,000 respectively in a business.They distribute 75% of the profit equally and distribute the rest 25% according to the ratio of their investment of capitals. If the bigger partner received Rs.400 more than the other, then what is the total profit ?

1)	Rs.5280	2)	Rs.5600
3)	Rs.6240	4)	Rs.6400
5)	None of these

Answer : Rs.6400
Explanation : Since, 75% of the profit is distributed equally ,rest 25% should be distributed according to their ratio of investment.

Actual, ratio of capital = 20000:12000 = 5:3

5/8 - 3/8 = 400

or 2/8 = 1/4 = 400

or 1 = 4 x 400 = 1600 i.e. 25%

So, total profit = 400 x 4 x (1/25) x 100 = 6400

Q80.	A 5 cm cube is cut into as many 1 cm cubes as possible. What is the ratio of the surface area of the larger cube to that of the sum of the surface areas of the smaller cubes ?

1)	1 : 6	2)	1 : 5
3)	1 : 25	4)	1 : 125
5)	None of these

Answer : 1 : 5
Explanation :

The volume of the larger cube = 53 = 125 cm³.

The volume of each of the smaller cubes = 13 = 1 cm³.

Therefore, one would get 125 smaller cubes.

The surface area of the larger cube = 6a² = 6(52) = 6 25 = 150

The surface area of each of the smaller cubes = 6 (12) = 6.

Therefore, surface area of all of the 125, 1 cm³ cubes = 125 6 = 750.

Therefore, the required ratio = 150 : 750 = 1 : 5
