Question
'A' and 'B' invested in a business together. 'A', being
the working partner, received Rs. 4,500 as commission. He then took 60% of the remaining profit, while 'B' received the rest. If 'B' received Rs. 8,000 less than 'A' (excluding commission), determine the total profit.Solution
Let the total profit received by ‘A’ and ‘B’ be Rs. xAccording to the question,0.4(x – 4500) + 8000 = 0.6(x – 4500)Or, 0.2(x – 4500) = 8000Or, x – 4500 = 8000/0.2Or, x = 40000 + 4500 = 44500Therefore, total profit received = Rs. 44500
Given a triangle with two sides measuring 12 cm and 16 cm, which of the following cannot be a possible length for the third side?
- Find the remainder on dividing (5x 3 + 4x 2 – 10x + 1) by (2x – 4).
The area (in sq, units) of the triangle formed by the graphs of 8x + 3y = 24, 2x+8 = y and the x – axis is:
If x −y =4and xy =45,thenthevalueof x 3 −y3is:
If x + y = 2 and 1/x + 1/y = 18/15, then find the value of (x3 + y3)?
22% of ‘x’ is equal to 66% of ‘y’, then find the value of x: y.
If y + 1/y = 2 then find y117 + 1/(y117)
if a2 + b2 + c2 = 2(4a -5b -9c)-122 , then a-b-c = ?
If a – b – c = 0, then the value of (a2 + b2 + c2)/(b + ac) is:
If 5x - 13xy + 6y = 0, find x : y.
