Q:

A and B are partners in a business. A contributes 1/4 of the capital for 15 months and B received 2/3 of the profit. For how long B's money was used ?

A) 3 months	B) 6 months
C) 10 months	D) 12 months

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10 months

Explanation:

Let the total profit be Rs. z. Then,

B's share = Rs. 2z/3, A's share = Rs. ( z - 2z/3 ) = Rs. z/3.

A : B = z/3 : 2z/3 = 1:2

Let the total capital be Rs, X and suppose B's money was used for x months. Then.

(1(x) / 4 * 15) / (3x) / 4 * y) = 1/2 <=> y = (15 * 2 / 3) = 10 .

Thus, B's money was used for 10 months.

18, 37, 76, 155, 314, 635

A) 37	B) 155
C) 314	D) 635

18

18 x 2 +1 = 37

37 x 2 +2 = 76

76 x 2 +3 = 155

155 x 2 +4 = 314

314 x 2 +5 = 633 not 635

Hence, the odd man is 635.
