Quantity I: there are three numbers in the ratio 5:6:10. The sum of the largest and the smallest numbers is 126 more than the other number. Find the largest number?

Quantity II: 12% of first number is equal to 25 % second number. The difference of these two numbers is 78. Then find the largest number?

A) Quantity I > Quantity I	B) Quantity I ≥ Quantity II
C) Quantity I < Quantity II	D) Quantity I < Quantity II

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Quantity I < Quantity II

Explanation:

Quantity I= Let the three numbers will be 5x, 6x and 10x respectively

ATQ

10x+5x−6x=126

9x=126 X=14

So largest number =10x=10×14=140

Quantity II=let x and y are two numbers

ATQ

12% of x=25%of y And their difference is 78

So first no.=150 2nd no.=72

Hence Quantity I < Quantity II

A) Rs.25,000	B) Rs.30,000
C) Rs.15,000	D) Rs.20,000

Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

Let monthly salary of Pia = Rs.500x => Monthly salary of Som = Rs.400x Amount given by Pia to her mother = 3/5 * 500x = 300x Amount for her sister tuition fees = 15*500x/100 = 75x Amount for loan = 18*500x/100 = 90x => Amount left = 500x −(300x +75x +90x) = 2100 => 500x - 465x = 35x = 2100 => x = 2100/35 = 60 Therefore, Som's salary = 400 x 60 = Rs. 24,000
