    17- The given 3 parts may be taken as x/2, 2x/3 and 4x/5 respectively. ⇒ (x/2) + (2x/3) + (4x/5) = 177 ⇒ (15x + 20x + 24x)/30 = 177 ⇒ 59x = 177 × 30 ⇒ x = (177 × 30)/59 = 90 ∴ Second part = 2x/3 = 2 × 90/3 = 60 Smart trick Given ratio = 1/2 : 2/3 : 4/5 = 15 : 20 : 24 Hence, 2nd part will be multiple of 20. Only one option i.e. 60 is multiple of 20. Hence, 60 will be correct answer.

    16 Correct option is 3:4 Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr. Then, x120​+y480​=8⇒x1​+y4​=151​....(i) And, x200​+y400​=325​⇒x1​+y2​=241​....(i) Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60 and y = 80. ∴Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.

    15- 60%are boys so 100-60=40 40%are girls 812/40×100 2030 are total student so no of boys = 2030-812 =1218 are the boys
