The ratio of first and second class train fares between two stations is 40:1 and that of the number of passengers travelling between these stations by first and second class is 1:20. If on a particular day Rs.2700/- be collected from the passengers travelling between these stations, then the amount collected from first class passengers is:?
Answer: Option 'A'
First class:Second class = 40:1
mens ratio = 1:20
Tickets ratio = 40 : 1
Mens ratio = = 1 : 20
Money ratio = = 40 : 20 ==> 2 : 1
3 parts -----> Rs.2700/-
1 part -------> Rs.900/-
2 parts ------> Rs.1800/-

Salaries of Robert and Sam are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 4000, the new ratio becomes 40 : 57. What is Sam's present salary?
Answer: Option 'B'
Let the original salary of Robert and Sam be 2k and 3k respectively.
Then (2k+4000) / (3k+4000)=40/57
=> 57(2k+4000) = 40(3k+4000)
=> 114k + 2,28,000 = 120k + 1,60,000
=> 2,28,000 - 1,60,000 = 120k - 114k
=> 68000 = 6k
=> 3k = 34000
Sam's present salary = 3k+4000 = 34000 + 4000 = 38000

Eight people are planning to share equally the cost of a rental car. If one person withdraws from the arrangement and the others share equally the entire cost of the car, then the share of each of the remaining persons increased by
Answer: Option 'B'
When there are 8 people, the share of each person is 1/8 => (Original Share)
When there are 7 people, the share of each person is 1/7
Increase in the share of each person is 1/7 – 1/8 = 1 / 56
1 / 56 ==> Which is 1/7 of 1/8 ==> 1/7 of the original share of each person.
