Question 16 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If 2A = 3B = 4C, then A : B : C is equal to -
A
6 : 4 : 3
B
3 : 4 : 6
C
2 : 3 : 4
D
4 : 3 : 2
Question 16 Explanation: 
Let 2A = 3B = 4C = k \begin{align} & {\text{Then, }} \cr & A = \frac{k}{2}, \cr & B = \frac{k}{3}, \cr & C = \frac{k}{{4.}} \cr & \therefore {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} = \frac{k}{2}:\frac{k}{3}:\frac{k}{4} \cr & = \frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4} \cr & = 6:4:3. \cr\end{align}
Question 17 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Two numbers are such that the square of one is 224 less than 8 times the square of the other. If the numbers are in the ratio of 3 : 4, then their values are =?
A
6, 8
B
12, 16
C
9, 12
D
12, 9
Question 17 Explanation: 
\begin{align} & {\text{Let number be }}x\& y \cr & {\text{Given, }} \cr & \, \, x:y \cr & \, \, \, \, 3:4 \cr & \, 3a:4a \cr & {\text{Now, given that}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{8}}{\left( {3a} \right)^2} = {\left( {4a} \right)^2} + 224 \cr & \Rightarrow 72{a^2} = 16{a^2} + 224 \cr & \Rightarrow 56{a^2} = 224 \cr & \Rightarrow {a^2} = 4 \cr & \Rightarrow a = 2 \cr & {\text{Numbers are}} \cr & x = 3 \times 2 = 6 \cr & y = 4 \times 2 = 8 \cr\end{align}
Question 18 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The total number of boys in a school is 16% more than the total number of girls in the school. What is the respective ratio of the total number of boys to the total number of girls in the school?
A
None of these
B
Cannot be determine
C
25 : 29
D
29 : 35
Question 18 Explanation: 
Let the number of girls be x.

Then, \begin{align} & {\text{Number of boys}} \cr & = 116\% {\text{ of }}x = \frac{{29}}{{25}}x. \cr & \therefore {\text{Required ratio}} \cr & = \frac{{29}}{{25}}x:x \cr & = 29:25. \cr\end{align}

Question 19 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 4 and 2a - 3b + 4c = 33, then the value of c is =?
A
9
B
66/7
C
12
D
6
Question 19 Explanation: 
\begin{align} & a:b:c \cr & 2:3:4 \cr & {\text{Let }}2x:3x:4x \cr & \Rightarrow 2a - 3b + 4c = 33 \cr & \Rightarrow 2 \times 2x - 3 \times 3x + 4 \times 4x = 33 \cr & \Rightarrow 4x - 9x + 16x = 33 \cr & \Rightarrow 11x = 33 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 3 \cr & \therefore {\text{c}} \Rightarrow 4 \times 3 = 12 \cr\end{align}
Question 20 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
8 litres are drawn from a cask filled with wine and is then filled with water. This operation is performed three more times. The ratio of the quantity of wine now left in cask to that of the total solution is 16:81. How much wine did the cask hold originally?
A
45 litres
B
24 litres
C
44 litres
D
49 litres
Question 20 Explanation: 

Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres.

Using formula:

Final Amount of solute that is not replaced = Initial Amount $\times$( Vol. after removal /Vol. after replacing)N

Where N = No. of operation done.

Then ratio of wine to total solution in cask after 4 operations,

\begin{align} & 1 \times {\left\{ {\left( {\frac{{x - 8}}{x}} \right)} \right\}^4} = \frac{{16}}{{81}} \cr & \Rightarrow 1 \times {\left\{ {\frac{{\left( {x - 8} \right)}}{x}} \right\}^4} = {\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)^4} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\left( {x - 8} \right)}}{x} = \frac{2}{3} \cr & \Rightarrow 3x - 24 = 2x \cr & \Rightarrow x = 24\, {\text{litres}} \cr\end{align}
