Q:

There are two containers, the first one contains 1 litre pure water and the second one contains 1 litre pure milk.Now 5 cups of water from the first container is taken out  is mixed well in the second container. 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   =>   9y5:12y5:15y5 = 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:

In a zoo, there are rabbits and pigeons. If heads are counted, there are 340 heads and if legs are counted there are 1060 legs.How many pigeons are there?

A) 120 B) 150
C) 170 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150

Explanation:

Suppose there are all the pigeons then total no of heads are 340 and total no of legs are 680. 

 

Now, since 380 (1060-680) legs are extra, it means there will be 190 (380/2) rabbits.As we know a rabbit has two extra legs than that of a pigeon.

 

Therefore,  number of rabbits =190

 

and number of pigeons = 340- 190 = 150
