Q:

In some quantity of ghee, 60% is pure ghee and 40% is vanaspati. If 10 kg of pure ghee is added, then the strength of vanaspati ghee becomes 20%. The original quantity was : 

A) 10 kg B) 15 kg
C) 20 kg D) 25 kg
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 kg

Explanation:

Let the original quantity be x kg. Vanaspati ghee in x kg  =  (40x / 100 )kg = (2x / 5) kg. 

Now, (2x/5)/(x + 10) = 20/100

=> 2x / (5x + 50) = 1/5 

=> 5x = 50 

=> x = 10.

Q:

A bag contains 600 coins of 25 p denomination and 1200 coins of 50 p denomination. If 12% of 25 p coins and 24% of 50 p coins are removed, the percentage of money removed from the bag is nearly :

A) 21.6 % B) 15.3 %
C) 14.6 % D) 12.5 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 21.6 %

Explanation:

Total money = Rs.[600*(25/100)+1200*(50/100)]= Rs. 750.

 

25 paise coins removed = Rs. (600*12/100) = 72.

 

50 paise coins removed = Rs. (1200*24/100)= 288.

 

Money removed =Rs.(72*25/100+288*50/100)  = Rs.162.

 

Required percentage = (162/750*100)% = 21.6 %.
