Q:

The ratio of water and alcohol in two different containers is 2:3 and 4:5. In what ratio we are required to mix the mixtures of two containers in order to get the new mixture in which the ratio of alcohol and water be 7:5?

A) 7:3	B) 5:3
C) 8:5	D) 2:7

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5:3

Explanation:

$W 1 : A 1 W 2 : A 2 . . . . . W N : A N$

2 : 3 4 : 5 5 : 7

$\frac{W 1}{W 1 + A 1} = \frac{2}{5} \frac{W 2}{W 2 + A 2} = \frac{4}{9} \frac{W N}{W N + A N} = \frac{5}{12}$

= 72/180

= 80/180

= 75/180

=> 5 : 3

Therefore, the ratio is 5: 3

Q:

At what time between 3 and 4 o’clock will the minute hand and the hour hand are on the same straight line but facing opposite directions ?

A) 3:15 2/8	B) 3:49
C) 3:49 1/11	D) 3:51

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3:49 1/11

Explanation:

On straight line means 180 degree angle.
180 = 11/2 min – 30 hrs
180 = 11/2 m – 30 × 3
180 = 11/2 m – 90
(180 + 90) 2 = 11 m
m = 540/11 = 49 1/11 minutes.
