  2. $ $120$
  3. $ $130$
  4. $ $140$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Let $x$ be the price of gas per gallon
$\implies$ the fills $\dfrac{160}{x}$ gallons every month
$\implies$ He travels totally $30\times \dfrac{160}{x}$ every month $=\dfrac{4800}{x}$ miles
with his new car he needs to fill only $\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{480}{x}\right)}{40}=\dfrac{120}{x}$ gallons
Total Price $=\dfrac{120}{x}\times x$
                   $=\$120$

Mr. Sharma left one-third of his property to his son, one-fourth to his daughter and remainder to his wife. If his wife's share is $Rs. 18,000$, what was the worth of his total property?

  1. Rs. $43,100$
  2. Rs. $43,200$
  3. Rs. $43,300$
  4. Rs. $43,400$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Let the total property was of Rs. $x$.

Then his son's share Rs. $\dfrac{x}{3}$ and his daughter's share $\dfrac{x}{4}$ and his wife's share $x-\dfrac{x}{3}-\dfrac{x}{4}=\dfrac{5x}{12}$.
According to the problem,
$\dfrac{5x}{12}=18,000$
or, $x=43,200$.
So total property worth was of Rs. $43,200$.

if 5 men and 9 women can do a piece of work in 19 days then in how many days will 3 men and 6 women do the same work ?

  1. 12 days

  2. 15 days

  3. 18 days

  4. 21 days
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
It is given that 5 men or 9 women can do the job in 19 days.

So, 5 men=9 women

1 man = $\dfrac { 9 }{ 5 }$ women

3 men = 3 $(\dfrac { 9 }{ 5 } )$ women

So, work done = 3 men+6 women = 3 $(\dfrac { 9 }{ 5 } )+6$

$=\dfrac { 27 }{ 5 } +6$

$=\dfrac { 57 }{ 5 } $

Now,$ \dfrac { {M} _{1} {D} _{1} }{{W} _{1} }$= $ \dfrac { {M} _{2} {D} _{2} }{ {W} _{2} } ,$ 

let ${D} _{2} = x$

$\dfrac { 9*19 }{ {W} _{1} } = \dfrac { \dfrac { 57 }{ 5 } *x }{ {W} _{2} }$

$ \Longrightarrow 9*19=\dfrac { 57x }{ 5 }$

$ \Longrightarrow 3=\dfrac { x }{ 5 }$

$ \Longrightarrow x=15$ days

So, option (b) is correct.
