1. Three numbers A, B and C are in the ratio of 12 : 15 : 25. If sum of these

numbers is 312, ratio between the difference of B and A and the difference of C and
B is :

A : B : C
12x : 15x : 25x = 312
52x = 312
x = 312 / 52 = 6

B - A / C - B
= 15*6 - 12*6 / 25*6 - 15*6
= (15 - 12)*6 / (25 - 15)*6
= 18 / 60
= 3 / 10

2. Out of three positive numbers, the ratio of the first and the second numbers is
3 : 4 that of the second and the third numbers is 5 : 6 if the product of the

Let, the three parts be a, b and c

1/5*a = 1/2*b = 1/4*c = k

a = 5k, b = 2k, c = 4k

5k : 2k : 4k = 2387
11k = 2387
k = 2387 / 11 = 217

Sum of 5a + 3b + 4c is
= 5(5k) + 3(2k) + 4(4k)
= 25k + 6k + 16k
= 47k
= 47 * 217
= 10199

Let,
CP of shirt = x
CP of jeans = y

2x + 3y = 2200 ------>1
4x + 2y = 2400 ------>2

multiply 1st equation by 2 and subtract both equations

4x + 6y = 4400
- (4x + 2y) = - (2400)
---------------------------------------
4y = 2000
y = 500

Put y = 500 in second equation

4x + 2*500 = 2400
4x + 1000 = 2400
4x = 1400
x = 350

y/x = 500/350 = 10/7

boys : girls = 2x : 1x
Total = 39

Boys = 2x/3x * 39 = 26
Girls = 1x/3x * 39 = 13

Radhika's rank from top among all is 15

It means there are 14 students (B + G) before Radhika 24 students (B + G) after
Radhika ------->1
Radhika's rank among girls from bottom is 8. It means there are only 7 girls after
Radhika.

From 1st statement ---------> 24 students are there after Radhika, out of which 7
are girls, hence, no. of boys after Radhika = 24 - 7 = 17

Let the children be a, b, c and d and Father be F

Chocolates with a : b : c= 3 : 7 : 11

Let the number of chocolates be 3k, 7k and 11k

Total chocolates with three eldest children = 21k

Chocolate with F and d = 3 × 21k = 63k

Total chocolates = (21k + 63k) = 84k

Chocolate with F : (all kids) = 3 : 4

Total 7 units of chocolate = 84k

1 unit = 12k

Chocolate with F = 3 × 12k = 36k

Chocolate with d = (63k – 36k) = 27k

27 k = 81 → k=3

Total number of chocolates = 84k = 84 × 3 = 252
