(a) 21 : 22
(b) 42 : 45
(c) 45 : 48 
(d) can’t be determined

2. a : b = 4 : 9 if 4 is added to both of the numbers then the new ratio becomes 21 : 46. What is the difference between a and b?
(a) 80
(b) 100
(c) 125
(d) 130

3. 6 pumps of kirlosker can fill a tank in 7 days and 2 similar pumps of USHA can fill the same tank in 18 days. What is the ratio of the efficiency of a Kirlosker pump and a USHA pump?
(a) 6 : 7
(b) 7 : 6
(c) 7 : 54
(d) can’t be determined

4. 16 person can reap 1/5th field in 6 days. How many person (with same efficiency) are required to reap rest of the field in 8 days?
(a) 27 
(b) 54 
(c) 48
(d) 64

5. Pertrol is 7 times heavy than Kerosene and Castrol mobil is 18 times as heavy as Kerosene. What should be the ratio of petrol and mobil in the new mixture to get the mixture which must be 11 times as heavy as kerosene?
(a) 3 : 4
(b) 7 : 4
(c) 9 : 19
(d) 9 : 10

6. A girl buys 2 pigeons for Rs. 182. She sells one at a loss of 5% and another at a profit if 8%. But she neither gains nor loses on the whole. Find the price of pigeon which has sold at a profit:
(a) Rs. 112
(b) Rs. 85
(c) Rs. 70
(d) can’t be determined

7. The ratio of price of Cello and Parker pens in 2000 were in the ratio of 3 : 5. In 2005 the price of Cello pen trebles itself and the price of Parker pen is increased by Rs. 100, then the new ratio of prices of the same pens becomes 4 :5. What was the original price of the Parker pen in 2000?
(a) Rs. 60 
(b) Rs. 80
(c) Rs. 100
(d) Rs. 120

8. A goldsmith has 361 rings of gold. He sells some of them at a loss of 4% and rest at a profit of 15% marking overall profit of 8%. Find the no. of rings sold at a profit of 15%:
(a) 171
(b) 133
(c) 218
(d) 228

9. Michel travelled from New York to New Jersey covering total distance of 250 miles in 8 hr. partly by car at 30 miles/hr. and rest by train at 35 miles/hr. The distance travelled by car is:
(a) 150 miles
(b) 80 miles
(c) 220 miles
(d) 180 miles

10. A rabit takes 22 leaps for every 17 leaps of cat and 22 leaps of a rabit are equal to 17 leaps of the cat. What is the ratio of the speeds of rabit and cat?
(a) 1 : 1
(b) 484 : 289
(c) 17 : 22
(d) none of these

Solution

1. x+y=93  ……………(i)
And (X+3)/(y+2)=24/25
25x-24y=(-27) ……….(ii)
From equation number (i) and (ii)
x=45 and y=48

2. a/b=4x/9x and (a+4)/(b+4)=21/46
a=80 and b=180 
∴b-a=100 

3. The number of days required by a single Kirlosker pumps to fill the tank=6×7=42 days and the number of days required by a single USHA pump to fill the same tanks=2×18=36 days.
Now, since efficiency is inversely proportional to the number of days. Hence,
(Efficiency of on K-pump)/(Efficiency of U-pump)=36/42=6/7 

4. 1/5th field can be reaped by 96 man days
∴4/5th field can be reaped by 96×4=384 man days
Now, since there are only 8 days so required number od men=384/8=48  men

5. If the weight of kerosene be k kg/unit volume, then 
Weight of petrol= 7 k/unit volume
Weight of Castrol=18 k/unit volume
Required weight of the mixture=11 k/unit volume
By Alligation 
The required ratio is 7 : 4. 

6. By Alligation 
The ratio of price of pigeons sold at loss and profit respectively are in the ratio of 8 : 5
∴ Cost price of profitable pigeon=5/(8+5)×182=Rs.70.

7. C/R=3x/5x
Again  C/R=(3x)3/(5x+100)=4/5
x=16 
∴ Price PARKER pen in 2000 was Rs. 80.

8. By Alligation
Now, we get the ratio of no. rings sold at a loss and profit is 7 : 12
∴ Number of rings sold at profit=12/19×361=228
Alternatively: Go through options. 

9. Best way is to go through option consider option (d) 
180/30+70/35=6+2=8 hrs
Hence, (d) is correct.
Alternatively: x/30+(250-x)/35=8
x=180 miles 
Alternatively: Since the Average Speed=(Total Distance)/(Total time)=250/8 miles/hr
∴ By Alligation 
Therefore, the ratio of time taken @ 30 m/hr and @ 35 m/hr is in the ratio of 3 : 1. It means he has travlled @ 30 m/hr for 6 hr.
Therefore, the distance travelled by car is 180.
(∵ Distance=Speed×Time).

10.22/22:17/17=1∶1
