Q:

A mixture of 150 liters of wine and water contains 20% water. How much more water should be added so that water becomes 25% of the new mixture?

A) 10 liters B) 20 liters
C) 30 liters D) 40 liters
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 liters

Explanation:

Number of liters of water in 125 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 1/5 of 150 = 30 liters

 

Let us Assume that another 'P' liters of water are added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture. So, the total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and the total volume of the mixture becomes (150 + P)

 

Thus, (30 + P) = 25% of (150 + P)

 

Solving, we get P = 10 liters

Q:

The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers are 11 and 385 respectively. If one number lies between 75 and 125 , then that number is

A) 77 B) 88
C) 99 D) 110
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 77

Explanation:

Product of numbers = 11 x 385 = 4235

 

Let the numbers be 11a and 11b . Then , 11a x 11b = 4235  =>  ab = 35

 

Now, co-primes with product  35 are (1,35) and (5,7)

 

So, the numbers are ( 11 x 1, 11 x 35)  and (11 x 5, 11 x 7)

 

Since one number lies 75 and 125, the suitable pair is  (55,77)

 

Hence , required number = 77
