53. If (a + b): (b+c): (c + a) = 6 : 7 : 8 and a + b + c = 14 then c is:

Correct Answer: (3) 6
Solution:(a + b) : (b + c) : (c + a) = 6 : 7 : 8

a + b + b + c + c + a

= 6k + 7k + 8k

=> 2(a + b + c) = 21k

=> 2 × 14 = 21k

=>k = 28/21 = 4/3

= a + b = 6k = 6 × 4/3 = 8

c = 14 - 8 = 6

54. A, B and C together invested Rs. 50,000 in business. A invested Rs. 4,000 more than and B invested Rs. 5,000 more than C. Out of total profit of Rs. 35,000, A received:

Correct Answer: (2) Rs. 14,700
Solution:Let C' s sum =Rs.x

B's sum = x + 5000

A' s sum = x + 5000 + 4000

= x + 9000

x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000

=> 3x + 14000 = 50000

=> 3x = 50000 - 14000

=> 3x = 36000

x = 36000/3 = 12000

A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12 A's profit

= 21/21 + 17 + 12 × 35000

= 21/50 × 35000

= Rs. 14700
