Option 1: $10:12:15$

Option 2: $6:5:4$

Option 3: $4:5:6$

Option 4: $15:12:10$

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $15:12:10$


Solution : Required ratio = $(\frac{1}{4}):(\frac{1}{5}):(\frac{1}{6})$
= $(\frac{1}{4}×60):(\frac{1}{5}×60):(\frac{1}{6}×60)$ [Multiplying each fraction by LCM of (4, 5 and 6) i.e., 60]
= $15:12:10$
Hence, the correct answer is $15:12:10$.

Question : Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 4. The product of their HCF and LCM is 2700. The sum of the numbers is:

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 105

Option 3: 15

Option 4: 45

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 105


Solution : Let the numbers be 3$x$ and 4$x$
Use: HCF × LCM = Product of the numbers
According to the question
⇒ HCF(3$x$, 4$x$) × LCM(3$x$,4$x$) = 2700
Now,
 HCF(3$x$, 4$x$) = $x$
 LCM(3$x$, 4$x$) = 12$x$
So,
⇒ $x× 12x = 2700$
⇒ $12x^{2} =

Question : If decreasing 110 by $x$% gives the same result as increasing 50 by $x$%, then $x$% of 650 is what percentage more than ($x$ + 20)% of 180? (correct to the nearest integer)

Option 1: 136%

Option 2: 90%

Option 3: 154%

Option 4: 80%

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 136%


Solution : According to the question,
$110 \times \frac{100 - x}{100} = 50 \times \frac{100 + x}{100}$
⇒ $11 \times (100 - x) = 5 \times (100 + x)$
⇒ $1100 - 11x = 500 + 5x$
⇒ $16x = 600$
⇒ $x = \frac{600}{16}$
⇒ $x
