Answer : 1. "120"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 120 Explanation: 1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone) so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1 so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

Answer : 3. "Both A & B gives result"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Both A & B gives result Explanation: a and b give, profit after 3 years = Rs.(3/8 x 22000) = Rs.8250. From c also, profit after 3 years = Rs. (2750 x 3) = Rs. 8250. ∴ P's share = Rs.(8250 x 5/11) = Rs. 3750. Thus, (either C is redundant) or (a and b are redundant).

Answer : 4. "Data is not sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Data is not sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years. Then, P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108 ⇒2PT= 10800 ...... (1) And, P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180 ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2) Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of pSo, the data is not sufficient.
