1. If Rs.24586 is to be divided among four persons A,B,C,D such that A:B = 3:4, B:C = 5:6 and C:D = 7:5, who will get the minimum amount? Answer: Person A Solution: A/B = 3/4     B/C = 5/6   C/D=7/5 Shortcut: The ratio of A:B:C:D is given as (n1*n2*n3) : (d1*n2*n3) : (d1*d2*n3) : (d1*d2*d3). Hence A:B:C:D = (3*5*7):(4*5*7):(4*6*7):(4*6*5) = 105:140:168:120 Hence A will get minimum amount. 2.

Proportion of alcohol:water = (6x+5y+8z)/(x+2y+3z). --Eq1 As all the cans contain equal quantities of alcohol and water, 7x = 7y = 11z. Hence x=y and z=7y/11. Substituting in Eq1), the required proportion is (6y + 5y + 56y/11)/(y + 2y + 21y/11) = 177y/54y = 59:18 3. A...
