Q:

The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of B and C together is Rs. 6000. By what percent is the salary of C more than that of A?

A) 100 %	B) 200%
C) 300%	D) 600%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 200%

Explanation:

Let the salaries of A, B, C be x, 2x and 3x respectively.

Then,2x + 3x = 6000 => x = 1200.

A's salary = Rs. 1200, B's salary = Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs. 3600.
Excess of C's salary over A's=[ (2400 /1200) x 100] = 200%.

Q:

A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4:3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4:5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.

A) 8 Liters	B) 10 Liters
C) 18 Liters	D) 22 Liters

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10 Liters

=> x = 2.5

Quantity of alcohol = (4 * 2.5) liters = 10 liters.
