52. A can do ¼ of a work in 10 days, B can do 40% of the work in 20 days and C can do ⅓ of part work in 13 days. Who can complete the whole work in minimum time ?

Correct Answer: (c) A

C can do the whole work in = 13 x 3 = 39 days Hence, A can complete the whole work in minimum time.

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

Correct Answer: (c) 6
Solution:Given,

(a+b): (b + c) : (c + a) = 6:7 :8

Let a + b = 6k  ...(i)

b + c = 7k   ...(ii)

c + a = 8k  ...(iii)

Adding all three equations,

2(a + b + c) = 21k

2 x 14 = 21k

[ a + b + c =14(given)]

From Eq. (i),

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

Correct Answer: (b) ₹ 14,700
Solution:Let the amount invested by C = x

The amount invested by B = x + 5000

The amount invested by

A = x + 5000 + 4000

= x + 9000

According to the question,

A + B + C = 50000

x + 9000 + x + 5000 + x = 50000

3x + 14000 = 50000

3x = 50000 - 14000 = 36000

x = 36000/3 = 12000

Ratio of invested amounts of A, B, and C

= ((x + 9000) : (x + 5000): x

=(12000 + 9000): (12000+ 5000): 12000

= (21000/17000) / 12000

= 21:17: 12

Total profit = 35000 (given)
