Question : P and Q start a shop with a capital of INR 1,50,000 and 4,50,000, respectively. After a year, out of the profit of INR 2,00,000, P gets his share of the profit plus some money as his salary which is not a part of the profit. If P gets a total of INR 90,000, what is the amount of salary (in INR ) that he received?
Option 1: 20,000
Option 2: 25,000
Option 3: 50,000
Option 4: 40,000
Correct Answer: 40,000
Solution : Investment ratio of P and Q = 150000 : 450000 = 1 : 3 Since investment time is the same for both the person. So, Profit ratio of P and Q = 1 : 3 Now, (1 + 3) units = 200000 $\therefore$ 1 unit

Question : The angle of depression of two ships from the top of a lighthouse is $60^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ towards the east. If the ships are 300 metres apart, the height of the lighthouse (in metres) is:
Option 1: $200\left ( 3+\sqrt{3} \right )$
Option 2: $250\left ( 3+{\sqrt3} \right )$
Option 3: $150\left (3 +{\sqrt3} \right)$
Option 4: $160 \left (3+{\sqrt3} \right)$
Correct Answer: $150\left (3 +{\sqrt3} \right)$
Solution : In $\Delta ABC$ $\tan 60^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}$ $⇒\sqrt{3} = \frac{AB}{BC}$ $⇒AB = \sqrt{3} BC \quad \text{-----------------------(1)}$ In $\Delta ABD$ $\tan 45^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BD}$ $\Rightarrow 1 = \frac{AB}{BD}$ $⇒AB = BD \quad \text{---------------------------------(2)}$ From equation $(1)$ and equation $(2)$ $\Rightarrow BD = \sqrt{3}
Question : 10 men can do work in 25 days. After 12 days of work, 3 more men were engaged to finish the work. The number of days required to complete the remaining work is:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 8
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 12
Solution : Given: 10 men can do a work in 25 days. After 12 days of work, 3 more men were engaged to finish the work. Here, $M_1=10,M_2=10+3=13,D_1=25-12=13$ We know, $M_1D_1= M_2D_2$ ⇒ 10 × 13 = 13 × D2 $\therefore$ D2 = 10 days
