Q:

A tin a mixture of two liquids A and B in the proportion 4 : 1. If 45 litres of the mixture is replaced by 45 litres of liquid B, then the ratio of the two liquids becomes 2 : 5. How much of the liquid B was there in the tin? What quantity does the tin hold?

A) 58 l	B) 65 l
C) 50 l	D) 62 l

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50 l

Explanation:

Let the tin contain 5x litres of liquids

$\frac{(5 x - 45) x \frac{4}{5}}{(5 x - 45) x \frac{1}{5} + 45} = \frac{2}{5}$

=> 5(4x - 36) = 2(x + 36)

=> 20x - 180 = 2x + 72

=> x = 14 litres

Hence, the initial quantity of mixture = 70l

Quantity of liquid B

= $(70 - 45) x \frac{1}{5} + 45$

= 50 litres.

Sripad has scored average of 65 marks in three objects. In no subjects has he secured less than 58 marks. He has secured more marks in Maths than other two subjects. What could be his maximum score in Maths ?

A) 79	B) 77
C) 76	D) 73

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 79

Explanation:

Assuming Sripad has scored the least marks in subject other than science,
Then the marks he could secure in other two are 58 each.
Since the average mark of all the 3 subject is 65.
i.e (58+58+x)/3 = 65
116 + x = 195
x = 79 marks.

Therefore, the maximum marks he can score in maths is 79.

Q:

Raghu can complete a work in 12days working 9 hours a day. Arun can complete the same work in 8 days working 11 hours a day. If both Raghu and Arun work together, working 12 hours a day, in how many days can they complete the work ?

A) $3 \frac{4}{49} d a y s$

B) $12 \frac{4}{49} d a y s$

C) $4 \frac{3}{49} d a y s$

D) $4 \frac{12}{49} d a y s$

A) Option A	B) Option B
C) Option C	D) Option D

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Option C

Explanation:

Raghu can complete the work in (12 x 9)hrs = 108 hrs.

Arun can complete the work in (8 x 11)hrs = 88 hrs.

Raghu's 1 hrs work = 1/108 and Arun's 1 hrs work = 1/88

(Raghu + Arun)'s 1 hrs work = $(\frac{1}{108} + \frac{1}{88}) = \frac{49}{2376}$

So, both Raghu and Arun will finish the work in $\frac{2376}{49} h r s$

Number of days of 12 hours each= $(\frac{2376}{49} \times \frac{1}{12})$ = $\frac{198}{49} = 4 \frac{3}{49} d a y s$
