Solution

Sure, here are the answers to your questions:

Q 01. The ratio m : n = 6 : 7 means m/n = 6/7. If n = 19.6, we can substitute this into the equation to find m. So, m = (6/7) * 19.6 = 16.8. Therefore, the answer is C. 16.8.

Q 02. The percentage increase in population is calculated as (final value - initial value) / initial value * 100%. So, the percentage increase is (16,000 - 12,000) / 12,000 * 100% = 33.33%. Therefore, the answer is D. 33.33%.

Q 03. If Rachel sold the bag for a loss of 32,thismeansthesellingpriceistheoriginalpriceminustheloss.So,thesellingpriceis32, this means the selling price is the original price minus the loss. So, the selling price is 750 - 32=32 = 718. Therefore, the answer is C. $718.

Q 04. The total ratio of water and oil is 11 + 13 = 24. If the total mixture is 72 litres, this means each ratio is equivalent to 72 / 24 = 3 litres. To make the ratio 5 : 4, we need to add water. The total ratio after adding water should be 5 + 4 = 9. So, the amount of water to be added is (5 * 3) - (11 * 3) = -18 litres. Since we can't add a negative amount of water, this question seems to have a mistake.

Q 05. If Jacob spends 8% of his income on transport and 60% of the remaining on food, this means he saves 100% - 8% - (60% of 92%) = 36.8% of his income. If he saves 662.4,thismeanshisincomeis662.4, this means his income is 662.4 / 0.368 = 1800.Therefore,theanswerisD.1800. Therefore, the answer is D. 1800.

Q 06. The mark up is the increase in the cost price, so the selling price is 840+15840 + 15% of 840 = 966.Thediscountisadecreaseinthesellingprice,sothefinalpriceis966. The discount is a decrease in the selling price, so the final price is 966 - 10% of 966=966 = 869.4. The profit is the final price minus the cost price, so the profit is 869.4869.4 - 840 = 29.4.Theprofitpercentistheprofitdividedbythecostpricetimes10029.4. The profit percent is the profit divided by the cost price times 100%, so the profit percent is 29.4 / $840 * 100% = 3.5%. Therefore, the answer is A. 3.5%.

Q 07. If the incomes of Sophia and Alice are in the ratio 7 : 9, and the ratio of their expenditures is 2 : 3, this means the ratio of their savings is also 7 : 9 (since income - expenditure = savings). If each of them saves 360,thismeansSophiasincomeis7partsofthetotalsavings,soSophiasincomeis7360, this means Sophia's income is 7 parts of the total savings, so Sophia's income is 7 * 360 = $2520. Therefore, none of the options match the correct answer.
