Then, 5 cups of this mixture is taken out and is mixed in the first container. Let A denote the proportion of milk in the first container and B denote the proportion of water in the second container then:

A) A	B) A=B
C) A>B	D) can't be determined

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) A=B

Explanation:

Here the ratio of mixtures( i.e milk , water) doesnot matter. But the important point is that whether the total amount ( either pure or mixture ) being transferred is equal or not.Since the total amount ( i.e 5 cups) being transferred from each one to another , hence A =B.

Q:

The number of oranges in three baskets are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5. In which ratio the no. of oranges in first two baskets must be increased so that the new ratio becomes 5 : 4 : 3?

A) 1:3	B) 2:1
C) 3:4	D) 2:3

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:1

Explanation:

Let, B1 : B2 : B3 = 3x : 4x : 5x

again B1 : B2 : B3 = 5y : 4y : 3y

Since there is increase in no.of oranges in first two baskets only, it means the no. of oranges remains constant in the third basket

Therefore, 5x = 3y

Hence 3x : 4x : 5x => $\frac{9 y}{5} : \frac{12 y}{5} : \frac{15 y}{5}$ = 9y:12y:15y

and 5y : 4y : 3y => 25x : 20x : 15x

Therfore, increment in first basket = 16

Increment in second basket = 8

Thus, required ratio = 16/8 = 2:1

Q:

Pooja, Shipra and Mounika are three sisters .Pooja and Shipra are twins. The ratio of sum of the ages of Pooja and Shipra is same as that of Mounika alone. Three years earlier the ratio of age of Pooja and Mounika was 2:7 . what will be the age of Shipra 3 years hence?

A) 21 years	B) 16 years
C) 8 years	D) 12 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8 years

Explanation:

Since Pooja and Shipra are twins so their ages be same. Let their ages be x and age of Mounika be y , then

x+x = y -------(1)

and $\frac{x - 3}{y - 3} = \frac{2}{7} \Rightarrow 7 x - 2 y = 15$

Now, from equation (1),

7x - 4x = 15 => x = 5

So the age of Shipra 3 years hence will be 5+3 = 8 years

Q:

Three cats are roaming in a zoo n such a way that when cat A takes 5 steps, B takes 6 steps and C takes 7 steps.But the 6 steps of A are equal to the 7 steps of B and 8 steps of C. what is the ratio of their speeds?

A) 140:144:147	B) 40:44:47
C) 15:21:28	D) 252:245:240

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 140:144:147

Explanation:

Frequency of step of A:B:C = 5 : 6 : 7

But in terms of size of step, 6A = 7B = 8C

Therefore, Ratio of speeds of A, B and C = 5/6 : 6/7 : 7/8 = 140 : 144 : 147

Explanation:

The ratio of fees collected from B.Tech : MBA = 4x * 25y : 5x * 16y

= 100xy : 80xy
