Q:

The cost of Type 1 rice is Rs. 15 per kg and Type 2 rice is Rs.20 per kg. If both Type 1 and Type 2 are mixed in the ratio of 2 : 3, then the price per kg of the mixed variety of rice is

A) Rs. 19.50 B) Rs. 19
C) Rs. 18 D) Rs. 18.50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 18

Explanation:

Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg. By the rule of alligation, we have :

 

Cost of 1 kg of type 1 rice           Cost of 1 kg of type 2 rice  

 

 

 

 

(20-x)/(x-15) = 2/3 

 60 - 3x = 2x - 30

  x = 18.

Q:

A can contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio  7 : 5. When 9 litres of mixture are drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many litres of liquid A was contained by the can initially?

A) 10 B) 20
C) 21 D) 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 21

Explanation:

Suppose the can initially contains 7x and 5x litres of mixtures A and B respectively

 

Quantity of A in mixture left =7x-712×9=7x-214 litres.

 

Quantity of B in mixture left =  5x-512×9=5x-154litres.

 

7x-2145x-154+9=79

 

28x-2120x+21=79

 

x=3

 So, the can contained 21 litres of A.

Q:

The distance between two cities A and B is 330 Km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travel towards B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m and travels towards A at 75 Km/hr. At what time do they meet?

A) 10 a.m B) 10.30 a.m
C) 11 a.m D) 11.30 a.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11 a.m

Explanation:

Suppose they meet x hrs after 8 a.m

then,

[Distance moved by first in x hrs] + [Distance moved by second in (x-1) hrs] = 330.

Therefore, 60x + 75(x-1) = 330.

 => x=3.

So,they meet at (8+3) i.e, 11a.m.
