Q:

A housewife saved Rs. 2.50 in buying an item on sale. If she spent Rs. 25 for the item, approximately how much percent she saved in the transaction ?

A) 8	B) 9
C) 10	D) 11

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9

Explanation:

Actual price = Rs. (25 + 2.50) = Rs. 27.50.

Saving = 2.50

Percentage Saving = [(2.50/27.50)*100]

= 2500/275

= $9 \frac{1}{11}$ %

$\approx 9$ %

Q:

A can contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio 7 : 5. When 9 litres of mixture are drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many litres of liquid A was contained by the can initially?

A) 10	B) 20
C) 21	D) 25

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 21

Explanation:

Suppose the can initially contains 7x and 5x litres of mixtures A and B respectively

Quantity of A in mixture left = $(7 x - \frac{7}{12} \times 9) = (7 x - \frac{21}{4})$ litres.

Quantity of B in mixture left = $(5 x - \frac{5}{12} \times 9) = (5 x - \frac{15}{4})$ litres.

$\frac{(7 x - \frac{21}{4})}{(5 x - \frac{15}{4}) + 9} = \frac{7}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{28 x - 21}{20 x + 21} = \frac{7}{9}$

$\Rightarrow x = 3$

So, the can contained 21 litres of A.
