Solution :

Here distance is equal

==> 40*time = 55(time-2)

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?

Mobile 2 cost price = 6600

Total cost price = 6600+5400=12000

Total selling price = 5940*2 = 11880

Profit percentage = (120*100)/12000=1%(1%loss)

Solution :

L.C.M of 8,12 = 24 = work

Efficiency of P = 24/8 =3
Efficiency of Q = 24/12=2

==> 5x + (6-x)3 =24

Solution :

Let the price of two articles are 3X and 4X.

==>110% of 3x/(4X+4) = 3/4
x=10
Thus the CP of second article = 4X = 4*10 = Rs. 40.


Ques 8.

Solution :

Let R = x then Q= x + 5000  and P=  x + 5000 + 8000 = x + 13000.
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
