Q:

640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water ?

A) 360 ml B) 320 ml
C) 310 ml D) 330 ml
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 320 ml

Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts.

1part = 640/8 = 80

 

old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2).

 

To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same.

i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.

Q:

Mr. Karthik drives to work at an average speed of 48 km/hr. Time taken to cover the first 60% of the distance is 20 minutes more than the time taken to cover the remaining distance. Then how far is his office ?

A) 40 km B) 50 km
C) 70 km D) 80 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 80 km

Explanation:

Let the total distance be 'x' km.

Time taken to cover remaining 40% of x distance is   t1=40×x100×48


But given time taken to cover first 60% of x distance is   t2=t1+2060hrs

 t2=60×x100×48

60×x100×48= 40×x100×48+2060

 x=80 km.
