18 k

For convenience I assumed A, B, C as 14 : 8 : 12 for first 4 months
Then they become 21 : 8 : 12 for the remaining 2 periods of 4 + 4 months
hence
14 : 8 : 12 +
21 : 8 : 12 +
21 : 8 : 12
gives the final ratio as 56 : 24 : 36 or 14 : 6 : 9 so that B gets 6/(14 + 6 + 9) of 87000 and hence gets 18000.

Alternative (risky) approach:

Looking at examiner's choice of numbers - 87000 almost certainly means that 29 x 3 is going to feature....so chances are each part will be a multiple of 3000 hence 18K (do not try this stunt at home) ;)

Ratio of profits 7*12+3.5*8: 4*12 : 6*12 (amount multiplied by period)
112:48:72=14:6:9
6/29*87k= 18k
A right circular cone has height h and volume V. If two cuts, parallel to the base, are made at height of h/3 and 2h/3 respectively from the base by a plane, then what is the volume of the middle part?

If you cut at h/3 the resulting cone has a volume of 8/27V. (As the height and radius of smaller cone is 2/3 of larger cone). Now if you cut at 2h/3 the smallest cone has 1/8 the volume of the middle Cone 1/8*8/27V=1/27v . So middle part is 8/27v minus 1/27 v which is 7/27 v.

7V/27 ?

Let the volume of the upper part be V1, that of middle part be V2 and that of lower part be V3.

V = V1 + V2 + V3 = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
V1 = 1/3 * pi * (r/3)^2 * h/3 = V/27
V1 + V2 = 1/3 * pi * (2r/3)^2 * 2h/3 = 8V/27

So V2 = 7V/27

16.

9 of size 1x1, 5 of 2x2, 1 of 3x3, 1 of 4x4.

(Plus one more if you want to count the border of the figure....but I will leave that aside...:P)
