Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4800


Solution : Let a be the investment of A.
Investment of B = a + 50000
Investment of C = (a + 50000) – 25000
Total investment = a + (a + 50000) + [(a + 50000) – 25000]
⇒ 300000 = 3a + 75000

Question : Let $x, y, z$ be fractions such that $x<y<z$. If $z$ is divided by $x$, the result is $\frac{5}{2}$, which exceeds $y$ by $\frac{7}{4}$. If $x+y+z=1 \frac{11}{12}$, then the ratio of $(z-x):(y-x)$ is:

Option 1: 6 : 5

Option 2: 9 : 5

Option 3: 5 : 6

Option 4: 5 : 9

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6 : 5

$⇒z = \frac{5}{2}x$
Also, given that $\frac{5}{2}$ exceeds $y$ by $\frac{7}{4}$.
$⇒y = \frac{5}{2} - \frac{7}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$
Substituting $y = \frac{3}{4}$ and $z = \frac{5}{2}x$ into the equation $x + y + z =

Question : Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.

The number of Indian students going abroad for higher studies has increased by 68.79 per cent in the past year, according to data provided by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Education, Subhas Sarkar. As per the data provided by him in the Lok Sabha, the number of Indians enrolled in foreign varsities increased from 4.44 lakh in 2021 to 7.5 lakh in 2022. He clarified that while the Bureau of Immigration and Ministry of Home Affairs maintain departure and arrival data of Indians, there is no index for capturing the category of Indians going abroad for higher education.

"Purpose of Indians going abroad for higher education is captured manually based either on their verbal disclosure or the type of visa of the destination country produced by them at the time of immigration clearance," Sarkar said.

According to the data provided by the ministry, the number of Indian nationals increased from 4.54 lakh in 2017 to 5.17 lakh in 2018. There was a significant increase in 2019 as well, with 5.86 lakh students flying out of the country. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of Indian nationals in foreign varsities saw a drastic dip as only 2.59 lakh students were registered. While the number continued to remain low, it saw a slight increase in 2021 with 4.44 lakh registrations. However, the number has significantly jumped to 7.5 lakh in 2022. The increase in the number of Indian nationals abroad corresponds with the latest immigration reports from some of the popular study-abroad destinations such as the US, UK, and Australia. For the UK, the Immigration Statistics Report states that 127,731 visas were granted to Indian students in September 2022, an increase of 93,470 (+273 per cent) against 34,261 in 2019. Similarly, in the US, the number of Indian students has more than doubled, and the Open Doors Report 2022 has predicted that the number of Indian students heading to America is likely to surpass those from China in 2022-23.
