Aptitude Day 63


Problems on Numbers:

 1.The numerator and the denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3:5. If 3 is added to the numerator, the result of the fraction that has a value 9/5 of the orginal fraction. Find the denominator of the fraction.

 Solution:
                Let the numerator and the denominator be 3x and 5x respectively.
                (3x+3) / 5x = 9/5 (3x/5x)
                (3x+3) = 9/5 (3x)
                5(3x+3) = 18x
                15x+15 = 18x
                3x = 15
                x = 5.
                The denominator is 5x = 25.

 2. When the numerator of the fraction increases by 9, the fraction increases by 3/11. Find its denominator.

 Solution:
               Let the numerator and the denominator be x and y respectively.
               x+9 / y = x/y + 3/11
               x+9-x / y = 3/11
               9/y = 3/11
               y = 33.
              The denominator is 33.

Aptitude Day 55

Problems On Numbers 1. The difference between the squares of two numbers is 28000 and the sum of their numbers is 400. Find the numbers. Solution:                 Let the 2 numbers be x and y.                 (x 2 -y 2 ) / (x+y) = 28000/400                 (x+y)(x-y) / (x+y) =  70                 x-y = 70 ------ Equation 1                 x+y = 400 ---- Equation 2                 By solving equations 1 and 2 we get,                 x = 235 and y = 165.                 The numbers are 235 and 165. 2.
