Q:

Sum of the ages of Rajesh, Suresh, Mahesh and Dinesh is 76 years. 7 years hence, their age ratio is 7:6:5:8. Find Mahesh’s present age ?

A) 17 years B) 13 years
C) 14 years D) 16 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 years

Explanation:

Given R + S + M + D = 76

=> R+7 : S+7 : M+7 : D+7 = 7:6:5:8

=> Let the ratio = x

=> M+7 = 5x

=> M = 5x-7

=> R = 7x-7

=> S = 6x-7

=> D = 8x-7

=> R + S + M + D = 76

=> 7x-7 + 6x-7 + 5x-7 + 8x-7 = 76

=> 26x - 28 = 76

=> 26x = 104

=> x = 4

=> Mahesh's present age = 5x-7 = 20 - 7 = 13 years.

Q:

The milk and water in two vessels A and B are in the ratio 4:3 and 2:3 respectively. In what ratio the liquids in both the vessels be mixed to obtain a new mixture in vessel c consisting half milk and half water?

A) 8:3 B) 6:7
C) 7:5 D) 11:7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7:5

Explanation:

Milk in 1-litre mixture of A = 4/7 litre. 

Milk in 1-litre mixture of B = 2/5 litre. 

Milk in 1-litre mixture of C = 1/2 litre.

 

By rule of alligation we have required ratio X:Y   

   X                  :                 Y  

  4/7                                2/5  

           \                      /

              (Mean ratio)
                   (1/2) 

           /                      \

 (1/2 – 2/5)     :       (4/7 – 1/2)  

    1/10                      1/1 4 

 

So Required ratio = X : Y = 1/10 : 1/14 = 7:5

Q:

Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumference of the ring are 352/7 m and 528/7m respectively.Find the width of the ring.

A) 5 B) 4
C) 3 D) 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4

Explanation:

let the inner and outer radii be r and R meters
then, 2πr = 352/7

 

=> r = (352/7) * (7/22) * (1/2) = 8m
2πR = 528/7

 

=> R= (528/7) * (7/22) * (1/2)= 12m
width of the ring = R-r = 12-8 = 4m
