Quant – Ratio & Proportion – Set 6

General Instructions

  1. The clock is set at the server. The countdown timer at the top of the screen shows the time remaining. When it reaches zero the test ends by itself — you do not have to submit.
  2. The Question Palette shows the status of every question using these symbols:
    • You have not visited the question yet.
    • You have not answered the question.
    • You have answered the question.
    • You have NOT answered, but have marked it for review.
    • You have answered and also marked it for review.
    Marking a question for review only means you want to look at it again. An answered question that is marked for review is still counted in the evaluation.
  3. To answer a question: choose one of the four options, then press Save & Next. To change an answer, select a different option and save again. To remove it, press Clear.
  4. Your answer is saved only when you press Save & Next or Mark for Review & Next. If you jump to another question from the palette without saving, the answer to the question you were on is not kept. This is how the real exam behaves.
  5. Sections appear on the bar above the question. You may move between sections at any time, and after the last question of a section you are taken to the first question of the next one.
  6. Only questions that are saved, or marked for review after answering, are evaluated.

  1. A and B start a business with Rs 2000 and Rs 3000 for the same period. They earn a profit of Rs 10,000. What is A's share?
    • A. Rs 3600
    • B. Rs 4400
    • C. Rs 4000
    • D. Rs 5200
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: C. Rs 4000

    Profit is shared in the ratio 2 : 3. A's share = 10,000 × 2000/5000 = Rs 4000.

  2. The income and expenditure of a person are in the ratio 6 : 5. If he saves Rs 5000, find his income.
    • A. Rs 24,000
    • B. Rs 21,000
    • C. Rs 30,000
    • D. Rs 39,000
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: C. Rs 30,000

    Income : expenditure = 6 : 5, so savings = 1 parts = 5000. Income = 6 × 5000 = Rs 30,000.

  3. If A : B = 4 : 5, B : C = 7 : 8 and C : D = 3 : 4, find A : D.
    • A. 17 : 32
    • B. 40 : 21
    • C. 7 : 8
    • D. 21 : 40
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: D. 21 : 40

    A : D = (4 × 7 × 3) : (5 × 8 × 4) = 84 : 160 = 21 : 40.

  4. Rs 9000 is divided among A, B and C in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. How much does C get?
    • A. Rs 4875
    • B. Rs 3375
    • C. Rs 3750
    • D. Rs 4500
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: C. Rs 3750

    Total parts = 12, one part = 9000/12 = 750. C gets 5 × 750 = Rs 3750.

  5. The sum of two numbers is 192 and they are in the ratio 7 : 9. Find the larger number.
    • A. 86
    • B. 119
    • C. 130
    • D. 108
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: D. 108

    One part = 192/16 = 12. Larger number = 9 × 12 = 108.

  6. Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 4. If 8 is added to each, the ratio becomes 7 : 9. Find the smaller number.
    • A. 53
    • B. 43
    • C. 33
    • D. 48
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: D. 48

    Let the numbers be 3k and 4k. (3k + 8)/(4k + 8) = 7/9 gives k = 16. Smaller number = 3 × 16 = 48.

  7. The present ages of A and B are in the ratio 5 : 7. After 12 years the ratio will be 3 : 4. What is A's present age?
    • A. 62 years
    • B. 56 years
    • C. 66 years
    • D. 60 years
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: D. 60 years

    Let ages be 5k and 7k. (5k + 12)/(7k + 12) = 3/4 gives k = 12. A = 5 × 12 = 60 years.

  8. If A : B = 2 : 3 and B : C = 3 : 7, find A : B : C.
    • A. 2 : 3 : 10
    • B. 2 : 3 : 7
    • C. 12 : 19 : 44
    • D. 7 : 3 : 2
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: B. 2 : 3 : 7

    Make B equal: A : B = 6 : 9 and B : C = 9 : 21. So A : B : C = 2 : 3 : 7.

  9. Find the mean proportional between 9 and 4.
    • A. 4
    • B. 5
    • C. 6
    • D. 7
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: C. 6

    Mean proportional = √(9 × 4) = √36 = 6.

  10. Find the third proportional to 25 and 50.
    • A. 80
    • B. 100
    • C. 70
    • D. 110
    Show answer and explanation

    Answer: B. 100

    Third proportional = 50²/25 = 2500/25 = 100.
