Identify the number that correctly replaces the question mark (?) in the given relation.
28: 2454: 32:?
3178
3186
3190
3182
Correct answer
3190
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Second number = (3 × Number2) + (4 × Number) − 10
For 28 : 2454 →
(3 × (28)2) + (4 × 28) - 10
⇒ (3 × 784) + 112 - 10
⇒ 2352 + 112 − 10
⇒ 2454
Similarly, for 32 : ? →
(3 × (32)2) + (4 × 32) - 10
⇒ (3 × 1024) + 128 - 10
⇒ 3072 + 128 − 10
⇒ 3190
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

A, B, and C invest in a business. A invests ₹10,000, B invests ₹15,000, and C invests ₹25,000. If the total profit at the end of the year is 15,000, what is C's share of the profit?
₹4,000
₹5000
₹6000
₹7500
Correct answer
₹7500
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Investment of A = ₹10,000
Investment of B = ₹15,000
Investment of C = ₹25,000
Total profit at the end of the year = ₹15,000
Formula Used:
Profit Share Ratio = (Investment1 × Time1) : (Investment2 × Time2) : (Investment3 × Time3)
Calculations:
Since the time period for all is 1 year (same), the profit ratio is equal to the investment ratio.
⇒ Ratio of Profit (A : B : C) = 10,000 : 15,000 : 25,000
⇒ Ratio of Profit (A : B : C) = 2 : 3 : 5
⇒ Total Profit Ratio = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 units
⇒ 10 units = ₹15,000
⇒ 1 unit = 15,000 ÷ 10 = ₹1,500
⇒ C's share of profit = 5 units × 1,500
⇒ C's share of profit = ₹7,500
Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.
