Q:

If x and y are the two digits of the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then x+y is equal to  ?

A) 5 B) 4
C) 3 D) 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2

Explanation:

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

Q:

The amount of water (in ml) that should be added to reduce 9 ml lotion, containing 50% alcohol, to a lotion containing 30% alcohol is ?

A) 6 ml B) 11 ml
C) 15 ml D) 9 ml
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6 ml

Explanation:

Let us assume that the lotion has 50% alcohol and 50% water.
ratio = 1:1
As the total solution is 9ml
alcohol = water = 4.5ml
Now if we want the quantity of alcohol = 30%
The quantity of water = 70%
The new ratio = 3:7
Let x ml of water be added
We get,
4.54.5+x = 37
=> x=6
Hence 6ml of water is added.
