   (7-x)/(31-x)= (31-x)/(199-x)
   gives x=3

5. Rs.12800 amounts to Rs.25000 in 3 years at a certain rate of compound interest. Find the rate of interest per annum. Select the correct alternative from the given choices.

   (b) 30%
   (c) 8%
   (d) 4%
   [su_accordion]
   
   SOLUTION

   Ans – A
   Explanation :
   A=P [1+r/100]^3
   25000=12800 [1+r/100]^3
   [1+r/100]^3 = 25000/12800 = 125/64 = (5/4)^3
   1+r/100 = 5/4
   r/100=1/4
   = 25 %

6. The total of the ages of Jayant, Prem and Saransh is 93 years. Ten years ago, the ratio of their ages was 2 : 3 : 4. What is the present age of Saransh?

   Then, (2x + 10) + (3x + 10) + (4x + 10) = 93
   9x = 63
   x = 7
   Saransh’s present age = (4X + 10) = 38 years

   1600 + 775 + 55a = 5200
   55a = 2825

10. Three number are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5 and their L.C.M. is 2400. Their H.C.F. is:
    (a)40
    (b)80
    (c)120
    (d)200
    [su_accordion]
    
    SOLUTION

    Ans- A (40)
    Explanation:
    Let the numbers be 3x, 4x and 5x.
    Then, their L.C.M. = 60x.
    So, 60x = 2400 or x = 40.
    The numbers are (3 x 40), (4 x 40) and (5 x 40).
    Hence, required H.C.F. = 40.
