Q:

Fresh grapes contain 60% water, while dry grapes contain 40% water. How many kgs of dry grapes can be obtained by 60 kg of fresh grapes?

A) 25 kgs	B) 30 kgs
C) 35 kgs	D) 40 kgs

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 40 kgs

Explanation:

The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.

Let 'p' kgs of dry grapes are obtained from the 60 kgs of fresh grapes

=> $60 x \frac{40}{100} = p x \frac{60}{100} = > p = 40 kgs .$

Therefore, 40 kgs of Dry grapes are obtained from 60 kgs of Fresh grapes.

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 27 %

Explanation:

Let the percentage of benzene = X
(30 - X)/(X- 25) = 6/4 = 3/2
=> 5X = 135
X = 27

So, required percentage of benzene = 27 %

Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 24 hours and $17 \frac{1}{7}$ hours respectively. Harihar opened the pipes A and B to fill an empty tank and some times later he closed the taps A and B , when the tank was supposed to be full. After that it was found that the tank was emptied in 2.5 hours because an outlet pipe "C" connected to the tank was open from the beginning. If Harihar closed the pipe C instead of closing pipes A and B the remaining tank would have been filled in :

A) 2 hours	B) 8 hours
C) 6 hours	D) 4 hours

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8 hours

Explanation:

Efficiency of Inlet pipe A = 4.16% $(\frac{100}{24})$

Efficiency of Inlet pipe B = 5.83% $(\frac{100}{17 \frac{1}{7}})$

Therefore, Efficiency of A and B together = 100 %

Now, if the efficiency of outlet pipe be x% then in 10 hours the capacity of tank which will be filled = 10 * (10 - x)

Now, since this amount of water is being emptied by 'C' at x% per hour, then

$\frac{10 x (10 - x)}{x} = 2.5 h r s$

=> x = 8

Therefore, in 10 hours 20% tank is filled only. Hence, the remaining 80% of the capacity will be filled by pipes A and B in 80/10 = 8 hours
