Answer : 2. "60 degrees"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 60 degrees Explanation: Given the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5Let the angles of a quadrilateral are 2x, 4x, 7x, 5xBut we know that sum of the angles = 360 degrees.=> 2x + 4x + 7x + 5x = 360=> x = 20Therfore, the smallest angle of the quadrilateral = 2x = 2x20 = 40 degrees.One of the angle of the triangle = 2 x 40 = 80 degreesThe other angle is 180 - (40 + 80) = 60 degrees. Hence the second largest angle of the triangle is 60 degrees.

Answer : 4. "8 months"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 8 months Explanation: Let the total Profit be Z.Ramu's profit share is 2/3 of profit (i.e 2Z/3)Ravi's profit is (Z-2Z/3) =Z/3Hence the profit ratio is , Ravi : Ramu = Z/3 : 2Z/3 = 1:2 Let total Capital be Rs.X and Ramu has contributed for Y months.Since Ramu's profit share is 2/3, his invest share will be 2/3 in capital. Ravi's invest for 16 months / Ramu's invest for Y months = Ravi's profit share / Ramu's profit sharei.e. (X/6 x 16) / (2X/3 x Y) = 1/2 Solving the above equation, we get Y = 8.So Ramu's money has been used for 8 months.
