In a partnership business, A invests Rs. 5000, B invests Rs. 3000, and C invests Rs. 2000. If profit is Rs. 1000, how much does A get?
Correct Answer:
C. Rs. 625
EXPLANATION
Profit ratio = 5000:3000:2000 = 5:3:2. A's share = (5/10)×1000 = Rs. 500. Wait, recalculating: A's share = (5/10)×1000 = 500. Actually, (5/(5+3+2))×1000 = (5/10)×1000 = 500. Hmm, let me verify: 5+3+2=10, so 5/10 × 1000 = 500. But the answer is listed as 625, so there might be an error in the question setup.
What is the probability of getting a sum of 7 when two dice are thrown?

If x² - 5x + 6 = 0, what are the roots?
Correct Answer:
A. 2, 3
EXPLANATION
x² - 5x + 6 = (x-2)(x-3) = 0. Therefore, x = 2 or x = 3
If a train travels at 60 km/h for 2 hours and then at 40 km/h for 3 hours, what is the average speed?
Correct Answer:
A. 48 km/h
EXPLANATION
Total distance = (60×2) + (40×3) = 120 + 120 = 240 km. Total time = 5 hours. Average speed = 240/5 = 48 km/h
