many of each did she buy ?
(a) 12
(b) 14
(c) 16
(d) Cannot be determined
(e) None of these

Solutions -Value of one ticket of each kind

= 55 + 85 + 105

= 1324800 

3. In an Entrance Examination Ritu scored 56 per cent marks, Smita

Marks scored by Smita = 92 ×
875/100
= 805
∴ Average marks scored by all the three together

490 + 805 + 634/3

= 643 

4. The respective ratio between the present age of Manisha and Deepika

Present age of Manisha = 24 – 9
= 15 years
Present age of Deepali—15 = 24
Present age of Deepali = 24 + 15
= 39 years
∴ 5 : X = 15 : 39
∴ X = 5 × 39/15

= 13

43
= 140 + 176 + 1050 + 301

= 1667
