                e) None of these

Solution

Answer 1.                  (Option E)

Amar : Bobby : Chintu = (25 lakhs × 1) + (35 lakhs × 2) : (35 lakhs × 2 + 25 lakhs × 1) : (30 lakhs × 3)

            = 95 lakhs : 95 lakhs : 90 lakhs = 19 : 19 : 18

Answer 2.                   (Option D)

Suppose Bidhyut invested Rs. x for y months. Then, Akshay invested Rs.3x for 2y months.

            So, Akshay : Bidhyut = (3x × 2y) : (x × y) = 6xy : xy = 6 : 1

So, Bidhyut’s profit : total profit = 1 : 7

            Let the total profit be Rs. x. Then, 1 / 7 =  (4000 / x)  or x = 28000

Answer 3.                   (Option A)

Amarinder : Balwinder : Charanjeet = 27000 : 72000 : 81000 = 3 : 8 : 9

            So, Charanjeet’s share : total profit = 9 : 20

            Let the total profit be Rs. x. Then,  =  9 / 20  = (36000 / x )or x = (36000 ×20 / 9)   = 80000

Answer 4.                    (Option C)

Let the total profit be Rs. z. Then,

            Bector’s share = Rs. 2z / 3   , Arnold’s share = Rs. [z - 2z / 3] = Rs. z / 3

So, Arnold : Bector =( z / 3) :   (2z / 3) = 1 : 2

            Let the total capital be Rs. x and suppose Bector’s money was used for x months. Then,

             = [ 1 / 4x × 15 ] / [(3 / 4x × y)] = 1 / 2

            y = [ 15 × 2 / 3] = 10

Thus, Bector’s money was used for 10 months.

Answer 5.                      (Option A)

A : B : C = 35000 : 45000 : 55000 = 7 : 9 : 11

            A’s share = Rs. [40500 × 7 / 27] = Rs.10500

            B’s share = Rs. [40500 × 9 / 27  ] = Rs.13500

            C’s share = Rs. [40500 × 11 / 27  ] = Rs.16500
