Question 76 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 and its perimeter is 104 cm. The length of the longest side (in cm) is -
A
26
B
52
C
48
D
32
Question 76 Explanation: 
\begin{align} & {\text{Ratio of sides}} \cr & = \frac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{2}}}:\frac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{3}}}:\frac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{4}}} \cr & = 6:4:3. \cr\end{align} Let the sides be 6x, 4x and 3x

Then,

⇒ 6x + 4x + 3x = 104

or 13x = 104

or x = 8

∴ Longest side = 6x = (6 $\times$ 8)m = 48m

Question 77 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In two alloys A and B the ratio of Zinc and Tin is 5 : 2 and 3 : 4 respectively. 7 kg of the alloy A and 21 kg of the alloy B are mixed together to form a new alloy. What will be the ratio of Zinc and Tin tin the new alloy?
A
1 : 2
B
2 : 3
C
2 : 1
D
1 : 1
Question 77 Explanation: 
Zinc : Tin
A 5x : 2x = 7x
B 3y : 4y = 7y
⇒ A ⇒ 7x = 7 kg

x = 1 kg

∴ Zinc in alloy A ⇒ 5kg

Tin in alloy A ⇒ 2 kg

⇒ B ⇒ 7y = 21 kg

y = 3 kg

Zinc in alloy B ⇒ 3 $\times$ 3 = 9 kg

Tin in alloy B ⇒ 3 $\times$ 4 = 12 kg

∴ After mix - up the ratio of Zinc and Tin in new alloy \begin{align} & {\text{Zinc}}:Tin \cr & \, \, \, {\text{A}}\, 5\, \, :\, \, \, \, \, 2 \cr & \, \, \, {\text{B}}\, 9\, \, \, :\, \, \, 12 \cr & \overline {{\text{A}} + {\text{B}}\, \, \, \, {\text{14}}\, \, \, \, \, {\text{14}}} \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \boxed{1\, \, \, \, \, :\, \, \, \, \, 1} \cr\end{align}

Question 78 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a business, the ratio of the capitals of A and B is 2 : 1, that of B and C is 4 : 3 and that of D and C is 6 : 5. Then the ratio of the capitals of A and D is -
A
9 : 20
B
20 : 9
C
3 : 5
D
5 : 3
Question 78 Explanation: 
\begin{align} & = \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} = \frac{2}{1}, \, \, \frac{{\text{B}}}{{\text{C}}} = \frac{4}{3}, \, \, \frac{{\text{C}}}{{\text{D}}} = \frac{5}{6} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{D}}} = \left( {\frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} \times \frac{{\text{B}}}{{\text{C}}} \times \frac{{\text{C}}}{{\text{D}}}} \right) \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, = \left( {\frac{2}{1} \times \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{5}{6}} \right) \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, = \frac{{20}}{9} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{A}}:{\text{D}} = {\text{20}}:{\text{9}} \cr\end{align}
Question 79 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
There are Rs. 225 consisting of one rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise coins. The ratio of their numbers in that order is 8 : 5 : 3. The number of one - rupee coins is =?
A
172
B
80
C
160
D
112
Question 79 Explanation: 
Rs. 1 : 50paise : 25paise

Number of coins 8x : 5x : 3x \begin{align} & {\text{Value of coins}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{8x}}{1}:\frac{{5x}}{2}:\frac{{3x}}{4} \cr & \therefore 8x + \frac{{5x}}{2} + \frac{{3x}}{4} = {\text{Rs}}.\, 225, \cr & {\text{Given}}\frac{{32x + 10x + 3x}}{4} = 225 \cr & \Rightarrow 45x = 225 \times 4 \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{{225 \times 4}}{{45}} \cr & \Rightarrow x = 5 \times 4 = 20 \cr\end{align} ∴ Number of one rupees coins

= 20 $\times$ 8 = 160

Question 80 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ratio of the first and second class fares between two railway stations is 4 : 1 and that of the number of passengers travelling by first and second classes is 1 : 40. If on a day Rs. 1100 are collected as total fare, the amount collected from the first class passengers is =?
A
Rs. 275'
B
Rs. 315
C
Rs. 100
D
Rs. 137.50
Question 80 Explanation: 
1st : 2nd
Fare 4x : x
Passengers 1 : 40
Total fare = 4x : 40x = 44x

⇒ 44x = 1100

⇒ x = 1100/44 = 25

∴ Fare = 1st class amount received per day

⇒ 4x = 4 $\times$ 25

⇒ 4x = 100
