Q:

A,B and C enter into a partnership in the ratio  72:43:65. After 4 months, A increases his share by 50%. If the total profit at the end of one year be Rs. 21600, then B's share in the profit is :

A) Rs. 4000 B) Rs. 6000
C) Rs. 9000 D) Rs. 3000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4000

Explanation:

Given ratio of initial investments = 72:43:65 = 105 : 40 : 36.

 Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.

 

A:B:C = 105x×4 + 150100×105x×8 : 40x×12 : 36x×12  

               = 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.

 

Hence, B's share = 21600×1054 = Rs. 4000.

Q:

An employee may claim Rs. 7.00 for each km when he travels by taxi and Rs. 6.00 for each km if he drives his own car. If in one week he claimed Rs. 595 for traveling 90 km. How many kms did he travel by taxi ?

A) 55 kms B) 35 kms
C) 25 kms D) 65 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 55 kms

Explanation:

Let x and y be the respective km's travelled by man via taxi and by his own car.
Given x + y = 90 => x = 90 - y
But according to the question,
7x + 6y = 595
7(90-y) + 6y = 595
=> 630 - 7y + 6y = 595
=> y = 630 - 595 = 35
=> x = 90 - 35 = 55
Therefore, the distance travelled by taxi is 55 kms.

Q:

Yellow colour of papaya is due to

A) Caricaxanthin B) Carotene
C) Lycopene D) Papain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Caricaxanthin

Explanation:

Papayas are yellow due to the presence of carotene and xanthophyll pigments i.e, Caricaxanthin present in the chromoplasts of the fruit pulp.

 

The coloration of the different tissues in plants is due to the plastids which are present in the cells. Leucoplasts are white in colour, chloroplasts are green in colour and chromoplasts are of various colours. These plastids can take any colour at different time. Therefore, green fruits ( chloroplasts) turn colurful (chromoplasts) at maturity.
