Question 1

What is x, if 110 : x :: 11 : 9?

 A

90.

 B

94.

 C

86.

 D

98.

Soln.
Ans: a

We have $110/x = 11/9$, which gives x = ${110 × 9}/11$ = 90.


Question 2

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 11 : 9, which is the longest side, if the perimeter is 460?

 A

220.

 B

222.

 C

218.

 D

224.

Soln.
Ans: a

Let the sides be 3x, 11x and 9x. We have 3x + 11x + 9x = 460, or 23x = 460, which gives x = 20, so the longest side is 11 × x = 11 × 20 = 220.


Question 3

What is the ratio A : B : C if A = $7/12$B and B = $10/3$C?

 A

35 : 60 : 18.

 B

7 : 10 : 3.

 C

12 : 10 : 3.

 D

7 : 3 : 70.

Soln.
Ans: a

We can write B = $12/7$A. Now we can use B as the pivot and write $12/7$A = B = $10/3$C. Divide all three with 12 × 10 to get $A/{7 × 10}$ = $B/{12 × 10}$ = $C/{3 × 12}$. So the required ratio is 70 : 120 : 36. The answer is 35 : 60 : 18.


Question 4

Mr. X has got a new telephone connection for a plan that has a 30-day rental of Rs. 300. The phone was installed on June 19. What is the amount of the bill for the month of June if billing is done on pro-rata proportionate basis?

 A

Rs. 110.

 B

Rs. 410.

 C

Rs. 1010.

 D

Rs. 710.

Soln.
Ans: a

June has 30 days, so billing is for 30 - 19 = 11 days. The ratio on proportionate basis is $11/30$ × 300 = Rs. 110.


Question 5

Mr. X has got a new telephone connection for a plan that has a 30-day rental of Rs. 600. The phone was installed on June 10. What is the amount of the bill for the month of June if billing is done on pro-rata proportionate basis?

 A

Rs. 400.

 B

Rs. 700.

 C

Rs. 1300.

 D

Rs. 1000.

Soln.
Ans: a

June has 30 days, so billing is for 30 - 10 = 20 days. The ratio on proportionate basis is $20/30$ × 600 = Rs. 400.
