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.

Answer : 1. "25"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 25 Explanation: (A+B+C) do 1 work in 10 days. So (A+B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10 and as they work together for 4 days so workdone by them in 4 days=4/10=2/5 Remaining work=1-2/5=3/5 (B+C) take 10 more days to complete 3/5 work. So( B+C)'s 1 day work=3/50 Now A'S 1 day work=(A+B+C)'s 1 day work - (B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10-3/50=1/25 A does 1/25 work in in 1 day Therefore 1 work in 25 days.

Answer : 4. "1, 2, 6"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 1, 2, 6 Explanation: 4 is father of 1 and grandfather of 6. So, 1 is father of 6. Thus, 4 and 1 are the two fathers. 3 is the sister of 6. So, 3 is the daughter of 1. Since there is only one mother, it is evident that 5 is the wife of 1 and hence the mother of 3 and 6. So, 2 is brother of 1. There are three brothers. So, 6 is the brother of 3. Hence, 2 and 1 are brothers. 6 is the brother of 3. So, three brothers are 1, 2, 6.
