Question 51 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What must be added to each term of the ratio 7:11, So as to make it equal to 3:4?
A
5
B
7.5
C
6.5
D
8
Question 51 Explanation: 
\begin{align} & {\text{Let }}x{\text{ be added to each term}}. \cr & {\text{According to question}}, \cr & \frac{{\left( {7 + x} \right)}}{{11 + x}} = \frac{3}{4} \cr & Or, \, 33 + 3x = 28 + 4x \cr & Or, \, x = 5 \cr\end{align}
Question 52 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ratio between the third proportional of 12 and 30 and mean proportional of 9 and 25 is -
A
7 : 15
B
2 : 1
C
5 : 1
D
9 : 14
Question 52 Explanation: 
Let the third proportional to 12 and 30 be x.

Then, \begin{align} & = 12:30::30:x \cr & \Rightarrow 12x = 30 \times 30 \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{\left( {30 \times 30} \right)}}{{12}} = 75. \cr\end{align} ∴ Third proportional to 12 and 30 = 75

Mean proportional between 9 and 25 \begin{align} & = \sqrt {9 \times 25} = 15. \cr & \therefore {\text{Required ratio}} = 75:15 \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, = 5:1. \cr\end{align}

Question 53 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the annual income of A, B and C are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 7 and the total annual income of A and C is Rs. 800000, then the monthly salary of B (in Rs. ) is =?
A
Rs. 25000
B
Rs. 30000
C
Rs. 20000
D
Rs. 15000
Question 53 Explanation: 
A : B : C
Annual Income 1 : 3 : 7
Let x : 3x : 7x
Given A + C ⇒ x + 7x = 8x

⇒ 8x = 800000

⇒ x = 100000

⇒ Annual salary of B = 3x

⇒ 3 $\times$ 100000 = 300000 \begin{align} & \therefore {\text{Monthly salary}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{300000}}{{12}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}.\, 25000 \cr\end{align}

Question 54 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If A : B = 7 : 9 and B : C = 5 : 4, then A : B : C is -
A
35 : 45 : 36
B
28 :36 : 35
C
7 : 45 : 36
D
None of these
Question 54 Explanation: 
\begin{align} & = {\text{A:B}} = 7:9\, {\text{and}} \cr & {\text{B}}:{\text{C}} = 5:4 \cr & = \left( {5 \times \frac{9}{5}} \right):\left( {4 \times \frac{9}{5}} \right) \cr & = 9:\frac{{36}}{5}. \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} = 7:9:\frac{{36}}{5} \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, = 35:45:36. \cr\end{align}
Question 55 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
\begin{align} & {\text{If }}\frac{{{\text{a}} + {\text{b}}}}{{\text{c}}} = \frac{{{\text{b}} + {\text{c}}}}{{\text{a}}} = \frac{{{\text{c}} + {\text{a}}}}{{\text{b}}} = {\text{k}}, \cr & {\text{then k is equal to - }} \cr\end{align}
A
1
B
0
C
a + b + c
D
2
Question 55 Explanation: 
a + b = ck,

b + c = ak,

c + a = bk

Adding, we get : 2(a + b + c) = ak + bk + ck

⇒ k(a + b + c) or k = 2
