Example #1
In a town, 20% of the men are same in numbers as 1/4th of the women. What would be the ratio of men and women in that town?

  1. 6 : 7
  2. 5 : 4
  3. 4 : 5
  4. 4 : 6

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
20% men
( 20 / 100 ) Men <=> ( 1 / 4 ) Women
Men / 5 = Women / 4
Men / Women = 5 / 4
Men : Women = 5 : 4

Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve
4x / 9x + 32 = 4 / 17
68x = 36x + 128
x = 4

So, the number of boys in the school is (4 x 4) = 16.

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
Let, the number of boys and girls be 9x and 6x.
Then, 9x = 180
x = 20

Example #6
Rs.385/- were divided among P, Q, R in such a way that P had Rs.20/- more than Q and R had Rs.15/- more than P. How much was R’s share?

  1. Rs.149/-
  2. Rs.145/-
  3. Rs.155/-
  4. Rs.160/-

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
Let, Q gets Rs.X.
So, We can say that P gets ( X + 20 ) and R gets ( X + 35 ).

Now, Q + P + R = 385
X + ( X + 20 ) + ( X + 35 ) = 385
X + X + 20 + X + 35 = 385
3X = 385 – 20 – 35
3X = 330
X = 110

So, R’s share is ( 110 + 35 ) = Rs.145/-.

Example #7
Rs.1210/- were divided among three person P, Q, R in the ratio of P : Q = 5 : 4 and Q : R = 9 : 10. So, what amount will R gets?

  1. Rs.460/-
  2. Rs.420/-
  3. Rs.300/-
  4. Rs.400/-

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve
P : Q = 5 : 4
Q : R = 9 : 10 = ( 9 x 4 / 9 ) : ( 10 x 4 / 9 ) = 4 : 40 / 9
So, P : Q : R = 5 : 4 : 40 /9 = 45 : 36 : 40

Sum of ratio terms is = ( 45 + 36 + 40 ) = 121
So, R’s share amount is ( 1210 x 40 / 121 ) = Rs.400/-.

Example #8
Rs.64000/- are divided among three friends in the ratio of 3 / 5 : 2 / 1 : 5 / 3. What will be the share of the second friend?

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
Here the given ratio is = 3 / 5 : 2 / 1 : 5 / 3 = 9 : 30 : 25

So, the Share of the second friend will be ( 64000 x 30 / 64 ) = 30000.

  1. 21 : 29
  2. 17 : 25
  3. 15 : 23
  4. 7 : 15

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
7 / 15 = 0.466
15 / 23 = 0.652
17 / 25 = 0.68
21 / 29 = 0.724

  1. 4
  2. 5
  3. 6
  4. 7

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve
Let, the number to be added is x
then, ( 3 + x ) / ( 5 + x ) = 5 / 6
6 ( 3 + x ) = 5 ( 5 + x )
x = ( 25 – 18 ) = 7

So , the number to be added is 7.

Example #11
On dividing a sum of Rs.832/- between Paul and John in the ratio 5 : 3, what will be their shares?

  1. Paul = Rs.520/- and John = Rs.312/-
  2. Paul = Rs.312/- and John = Rs.520/-

  4. Paul = Rs.320/- and John = Rs.512/-

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
The given ratio is = 5 : 3
Paul’s share will be ( 832 x 5 / 8 ) = Rs.520/-
John’s share will be ( 832 x 3 / 8 ) = Rs.312/-

So, their shares are Rs.520/- and Rs.312/-.

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
If, B’s share is 3
And sum of ratio terms is = ( 4 + 3 ) = 7

Now, B’s share is 4800
then sum of share amount is = ( 7 / 3 x 4800 ) = 11200.

Example #13
The Salary of Three friend A, B, C are divided into ratio 5 : 6 : 8. If the increment has given of 10%, 20%, 25%, then find the new ratio of three friend salary?

  1. 11X / 10 : 9X / 5 : 10X / 4
  2. 11X / 5 : 36X / 5 : 10X / 4
  3. 55X / 10 : 36X / 5 : 40X / 4
  4. 55X / 5 : 36X / 10 : 40X / 8

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
We assume ratio as 5x, 6x and 8x
Now the increment of new salary of A is 10% = 110 / 100
B is 20% = 120 / 100
C is 25% = 125 / 100

A,s new salary is 110 x 5X / 100 = 55X / 10
B,s new salary is 120 x 6X / 100 = 36X / 5
C,s new salary is 125 x 8X / 100 = 10

So, the new ratio is 55X / 10 : 36X / 5 : 40X / 4.

    in the 4th sum mistake
    rshare will be 1210*40/121=400
    but in the sum
    1210*36/121=400 given this step will be mistake. pls make it correct.

  2. suji says:

    In example 12 answer is correct but the step seems incorrect
    3x=4800 therefore x=4800/3
    total amount=4x+3x=7x=7*(4800/3)=7*1600=11200

  3. bryan says:

    answer for example 1 is wrong it should be 4:5

    let no. of men = 100 , no. of women = 100
    now , 20% of 100 = 20 , 1/4 of 100 = 25
    men:women = 20 / 25 ==> 4:5

  4. manju says:

    there are lots of mistake in the question.for example, in 6 th sum value of R had is given as rs15 in the question but rs 35 is taken as r value in the solution..
