Solution :

Here distance is equal

==> 40*time = 55(time-2)
==>Time = 22/3 hours

Distance = 40*22/3= 294 km approx



Ques 2.

The income of Siva and Ganesh are in the ratio of 4:5 and their expenditure is in the ratio of 2:3. If each of them saves 2000, then find their income.


Solution :

Income ratio = 4x : 5x
Expenditure ratio = 2y : 3y
Savings = 2000 

==> 4x-2y = 5x-3y
==> x=y    ---- (i)
From eq (i)
==> 4x-2(x)=2000
==> x =1000
Incomes = 4*1000 ; 5*1000 = 4000 ; 5000



Ques 3.

A dealer sold two mobiles at Rs. 5940 each. On selling one AC he gained 10% and on selling the other he lost 10%. Find the dealer’s gain or loss percent?

x=10
Thus the CP of second article = 4X = 4*10 = Rs. 40.

x + x + 5000 + x + 13000 = 60000  <=>  3x = 42000 , x = 14000.
A : B : C =  27000 : 19000 : 14000 = 27 : 19 : 14
P’s share = Rs. (40000 * 27/60 ) = Rs.18,000
