Q:

Equal quantities of three mixtures of milk and water are mixed in the ratio 1:2, 2:3 and 3:4. The ratio of water and milk in the mixture is ?

A) 193 : 122 B) 97 : 102
C) 115 : 201 D) 147 : 185
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 193 : 122

Explanation:

Given the three mixtures ratio as (1:2),(2:3),(3:4)

(1+2),(2+3),(3+4)

Total content = 3,5,7

 

Given equal quantities of the three mixtures are mixed, then LCM of 3, 5, 7 = 105

105/3 = 35 , 105/5 = 21 , 105/7 = 15

 

Now, the individual equal quantity ratios are (35x1, 35x2), (21x2, 21x3), (15x3, 15x4)

 i.e (35,70), (42,63), (45,60)

 

So overall mixture ratio of milk and water is

35+42+45 : 70+63+60

122:193

 

But in the question asked the ratio of water to milk = 193 : 122

Q:

Ajay and Vijay have some marbles with them. Ajay told Vijay "if you give me 'x' marbles, both of us will have equal number of marbles". Vijay then told Ajay "if you give me twice as many marbles, I will have 30 more marbles than you would". Find 'x'  ?

A) 4 B) 10
C) 8 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 5

Explanation:

If Vijay gives 'x' marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V - x and A + x marbles.
V - x = A + x --- (1)
If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A - 2x and V + 2x marbles.
V + 2x - (A - 2x) = 30 => V - A + 4x = 30 --- (2)
From (1) we have V - A = 2x
Substituting V - A = 2x in (2)
6x = 30 => x = 5.

Q:

The difference between the squares of two consecutive odd integers is always divisible by ?

A) 8 B) 2
C) 6 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)

Then,

(2x + 3)2 - (2x + 1)2

= (2x + 3 + 2x + 1) (2x + 3 - 2x - 1)

= (4x + 4)(2)
= 8 (x + 1), which is always divisible by 8
