654.One year ago the ratio between Laxmans and Gopals salary was 3:4. The ratios of their individual salaries between last years and this years salaries are 4:5 and 2:3 respectively. At present the total of their salary is Rs.4290. The salary of Laxman now is :
Rs.1040
Rs.1650
Rs.2560
Rs.3120
Explanation:
Let the salaries of Laxman and Gopal one yer before be 3x and 4x.
Given that laxman's last year and present year salary are in the ratio 4:5
So his present salary =$\dfrac{5}{4} \times 3x $= $\dfrac{15x}{4}$
Also Gopal's last year and present year salary are in the ratio 2:3
So his present salary $\dfrac{3}{2} \times 4x $= 6x
But given that sum of the salaries = $\dfrac{15x}{4} +6x =4290$
=>$\dfrac{39x}{4} $ =4290
=>39x= $ 4290 \times 4 $ =440
Laxman's present salary = $\dfrac{15x}{4} $ =$ \dfrac{15}{4} \times 440 $=1650
655.The ratio between the ages of Kamala and Savitri is 6:5 and the sum of their ages is 44 years. The ratio of their ages after 8 years will be :
5 : 6
7 : 8
8 : 7
14:13
Explanation:
Let their ages be 4x and x years.
∵ 6x + 5x = 44
∴ x = 4
So their present ages are 24 years and 20 years
Ratio of their ages after 8 years = 32 : 28 = 8 : 7.
656.In a mixture of 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 2:1. What amount of water must be added to make the ratio 1:2?
42 litres
56 litres
60 litres
77 litres
Explanation:
Quantity of milk =60 x $\dfrac{2}{3} $ litres = 40 litres.
Quantity of water in it = (60 - 40) litres = 20 litres.
New ratio = 1 : 2
Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres.
Then, milk : water =[$\dfrac{40}{20 + x}$]
Now, [$\dfrac{40}{20 + x}$] = $\dfrac{1}{2} $
=> 20 + x = 80
=>x = 60.
Quantity of water to be added = 60 litres.
657.As money is to Bs money as 4:5 and Bs money is to Cs money as 2:3. If A has Rs.800, C has
Rs.1000
Rs.1200
Rs.1500
Rs.2000
Explanation:
A has ₹800
A:B = 4:5
800:B = 4:5
B = 1000
B:C = 2:3
1000:C = 2:3
C= 1500
Total money with A,B and C = 800 + 1000 + 1500 = 3300
658.Vinay got thrice as many marks in Maths as in English. The proportion of his marks in Maths and History is 4:3. If his total marks in Maths, English and History are 250, what are his marks in English ?
120
90
40
80
Explanation:
M = 3E and M/H = 4/3
∴ H = 3/4 M = 3/4 x 3E = 9/4 E
Now M + E + H = 250
⇒ 3E + E + 9/4 E = 250
⇒ 25 E = 1000
∴ E = 40
659.Gold is 19 times as heavy as water and copper 9 times as heavy as water. The ratio in which these two metals be mixed so that the mixture is 15 times as heavy as water is:
1 : 2
2 : 3
3 : 2
19: 135
Explanation:
Let the ration of gold and copper that taken be a:l
$\dfrac{19a + 9I}{a+I}$ = $\dfrac{15}{I}$
19a+9I = 15a+15I
19a-15a=15I-9I
4a=6I
2a=3I
$\dfrac{a}{I} $ = $\dfrac{3}{2}$
Gold and copper are taken in the ratio 3 : 2
670.How many cubes of edges 2dm can be cut out of a meter cube?
50
64
216
125
Explanation:
1 * 1 * 1 = 2/10 * 2/10 * 2/10 * x
x = 125
671.The edge of three cubes of metal is 3dm, 4 dm and 5 dm. They are melted and formed into a single cube. Find the edge of the new cube?
3 dm
4 dm
5 dm
6 dm
Explanation:
First find the volume of each cube.
Cube A=3^3=27
Cube B=64
Cube C=125.
If they are melted and a new cube is formed, then the volume of this cube is equal to the sum of the volumes of the individual cubes.
So Volume of new cube= 216.
To find the edge of this cube, we find the cube root of 216, as a^3=216, we have a=cu.root of 216.
So the answer is 6dm.
672.The slant height of a cone is 12 cm and radius of the base is 4cm, find the curved surface of the cone?
74 π cm2
36 π cm2
48 π cm2
24 π cm2
Explanation:
Curved surface of the cone = $\pi \times base \times height $
=> $\pi \times 4 \times 12 $
=>$48 \pi cm^{2} $
673.The ratio between the radii of two spheres is 1:3. Find the ratio between their volumes?
27:1
1:27
1:9
9:1
Explanation:
the ratio between the radii of two spheres is 1 : 3.
we know, volume of sphere = 4/3 πr³
⇒volume of sphere ∝ (radius)³
so, volume of sphere₁/volume of sphere₂ = (r₁/r₂)³
= (1/3)³
= 1³/3³
= 1/27
hence ratio of volume of spheres is 1 : 27.
