Here the ratio of mixtures( i.e milk , water) doesnot matter. But the important point is that whether the total amount ( either pure or mixture ) being transferred is equal or not.Since the total amount ( i.e 5 cups) being transferred from each one to another , hence A =B.

We may have(1 black and 2 non-black) or (2 black and 1 non-black) or (3 black).

Required number of ways=3C1*6C2+3C2*6C1+3C3 = (45 + 18 + 1) =64

But at x=-1/3, log x is not defined.

The only admissible value of x is 1.

In a simultaneous throw of two dice, n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36

Let E = event of getting a doublet = { (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}

 P(E)=n(E)n(S)=636=16

The mutiplicative inverse of a number is nothing but a reciprocal of a number.

Now, the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is always equal to 1.

For example :

Let the number be 15

Multiplicative inverse of 15 = 1/15

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is = 15 x 1/15 = 1.

Now, Total work = LCM(16, 8) = 48

A's one day work = + 48/16 = + 3

B's one day work = - 48/8 = -6

Given A worked for 5 days to build the wall => 5 days work = 5 x 3 = + 15

2days B joined with A in working = 2(3 - 6) = - 6

Remaining Work of building wall = 48 - (15 - 6) = 39

Now this remaining work will be done by A in = 39/3 = 13 days.

FV=P(1+r/n)^nt

only (c) is correct since it is divisible by 4.

Let the original number of element  be x then the new no.of elements will be 

            4x5 = K                               

So K must be divisible by 4

Since,      x =  Kx5/4
