RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellow–blue) is a historical set of colors used in subtractive color mixing and is one commonly used set of primary colors. It is primarily used in art and design education, particularly painting.

RYB predates modern scientific color theory, which has determined that cyan, magenta, and yellow are the best set of three colorants to combine, for the widest range of high-chroma colors.

Q:

P and Q were assigned to do a work for an amount of 1200. P alone can do it in 15 days while Q can do it in 12 days. With the help of R they finish the work in 6 days. Find the share of R ?

A) 120 B) 240
C) 360 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 120

Explanation:

1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone)


so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1


so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

Let 'x' be the amount he had in the bank.

x = 750 x 8000/120 = Rs. 50000

That can be done as,

 

100 P2  = 100!/(100 - 2)!

Q:

Ravi and Ramu are partners in a business.Ravi contributes 1/6 of the capital for 16 months and Ramu received 2/3 of the profit. For how long Ramu's money was used ?

A) 11 months B) 10 months
C) 9 months D) 8 months
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 months

Explanation:

Let the total Profit be Z.
Ramu's profit share is 2/3 of profit (i.e 2Z/3)
Ravi's profit is (Z-2Z/3) =Z/3
Hence the profit ratio is , Ravi : Ramu = Z/3 : 2Z/3 = 1:2

Let total Capital be Rs.X and Ramu has contributed for Y months.Since Ramu's profit share is 2/3, his invest share will be 2/3 in capital.

Ravi's invest for 16 months / Ramu's invest for Y months = Ravi's profit share / Ramu's profit share
i.e. (X/6 x 16) / (2X/3 x Y) = 1/2

Solving the above equation, we get Y = 8.
So Ramu's money has been used for 8 months.
