Q:

The concentration of glucose in three different mixtures (glucose and alcohol) is 12,35 and 45 respectively. If 2 litres, 3 litres and 1 litre are taken from these three different vessels and mixed. What is the ratio of glucose and alcohol in the new mixture? 

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

Explanation:

Concentration of glucose are in the ratio = 12:35:45

Quantity of glucose taken from A = 1 liter out of 2

Quantity of glucose taken from B = 3/5 x 3 = 1.5 lit

Quantity of glucose taken from C = 0.8 lit

So, total quantity of glucose taken from A,B and C = 3.6 lit

So, quantity of alcohol = (2 + 3 + 1) - 3.6 = 2.4 lit

Ratio of glucose to alcohol = 3.6/2.4 = 3:2

Q:

Rajitha invested 25% more than Santhosh. Santhosh invested 30% less than Raju, who invested Rs. 6,000. What is the ratio of the amount that Rajitha invested to the total amount invested by all of them together ?

A) 25 : 114 B) 35 : 103
C) 15 : 108 D) 41 : 94
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 35 : 103

Explanation:

Santhosh's investment = 6000 x 70/100 = Rs.4200
Rajitha's investment = 4200 x 5/4 = Rs.5250
Therefore, total amount invested = 6000 + 4200 + 5250 = Rs.15450.
Required ratio = 5250 : 15450 = 35 : 103.
