Answer: A) Rs. 4000 Explanation: Given ratio of initial investments = 72:43:65 = 105 : 40 : 36.  Let the initial investments be 105x, 40x and 36x.   ∴A:B:C = 105x×4 + 150100×105x×8 : 40x×12 : 36x×12                  = 1680x : 480x : 432x = 35 : 10 : 9.   Hence, B's share = 21600×1054 = Rs. 4000.

Answer: D) 67 Explanation: Here the given series 7, 11, 19, 35, ? follows a pattern that (x 2 - 3) i.e, 7 7 x 2 - 3 = 11 11 x 2 - 3 = 19 19 x 2 - 3 = 35 35 x 2 - 3 = 67 67 x 2 - 3 = 131   Hence the next number in the given number series is 67.

Answer: D) 12% p.a. Explanation: If the interest earned is 25% more than the earlier interest then the rate of interest also should be 25% higher than the earlier rate. Let the earlier rate of interest be x%. Now it will be (x + 3)% % increase = (x + 3) - x/x * 100 = 25=> x = 12%

Answer: D) 165 Explanation: Ratio C1:C2 = 3:5 and C2:C3 = 7:11So C1:C2:C3 = 21 : 35 : 55Let the strength of three classes are 21x, 35x and 55x respectively, then Given that 21x + 35x + 55x = 333=> 111x = 333 or x=3So strength of the class with highest number of students =55x = 55x3 = 165.
