Q:

Rajeev start a business with Rs. 10000, Deepu joins him after 2 month with 20% more investment than Rajeev, after 2 month Shakti joins him with 40% less than Deepu. If the profit earned by them at the end of the year is equal to the twice of the difference between investment of Rajeev and ten times the investment of Shakti. Find the profit of Rajeev ?

A) 50000 B) 48000
C) 38000 D) 40000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 38000

Explanation:

Here from the given information,

The ratio of investments of Rajeev, Deepu & Shakti is

R : D : S = (10000 × 12) : (12000 × 10) : (7200 × 8)

= 25 : 25 : 12

Now the Profit = 2 × (72000-10000) = 124000

Share of Rajeev = 124000 x 25/62 = 48000

Profit of Rajeev = 48000 - 10000 = 38000

Q:

In preparing a bank reconciliation, outstanding checks are

A) Deducted from the balance sheet B) Added to the bank balance
C) Deducted from the bank balance D) Added to the balance sheet
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Deducted from the balance sheet

Explanation:

If an outstanding check of the previous month clears the bank (is paid by the bank) in the current month, you simply remove that check from the list of outstanding checks.

If an outstanding check of the previous month does not clear the bank in the current month, the check will remain on the list of outstanding checks until the month that it does clear the bank.

In the bank reconciliation process, the total amount of the outstanding checks is deducted from the balance appearing on the bank statement.

Q:

A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively?

A) 7:4 B) 11:4
C) 4:7 D) 8:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of downstream be q kmph

 

Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = 845hrs

 

Time for downstream = 4 hrs

 

Distance in both the cases is same.

 

=> p x  845= q x 4

 

=> 44p/5 = 4q

 

=> q = 11p/5

 

 Now, the required ratio of Speed of boat : Speed of water current

 

q+p2:q-p2

 

=> (11p/5 + p)/2  : (11p/5 - p)/2

 

=> 8 : 3

Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is  ?

A) 1 : 2 B) 3 : 1
C) 4 : 7 D) 3 : 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3 : 2

Explanation:

Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.

Then, length of the first train = 27 x meters, and

length of the second train = 17 y meters.

(27 x + 17 y) / (x + y) = 23

=> 27 x + 17 y = 23 x + 23 y

=> 4 x = 6 y

=> x/y = 3/2.

Q:

Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 7. If 6 be added to each of them, then they are in the ratio 5 : 9. Find the numbers ?

A) 11 & 17 B) 7 & 17
C) 9 & 21 D) 13 & 23
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9 & 21

Explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Given x : y = 3 : 7 .....(1)

Now, x+6 : y+6 = 5 : 9 .....(2)

From (1), x = 3y/7

From (2), 5y - 9x = 24

=> 5y - 9(3y/7) = 24

=> y = 21

=> From(1), x = 9

Hence, the two numbers be 9 and 21
