Q:

From a container of wine, a thief has stolen 15 litres of wine and replaced it with same quantity of water. He again repeated the same process. Thus, in three attempts the ratio of wine and water became 343 : 169. The initial amount of wine in the container was:

A) 75 litres	B) 100 litres
C) 150 litres	D) 120 litres

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120 litres

Explanation:

$\frac{w i n e (l e f t)}{w i n e (a d d e d)} = \frac{343}{169}$

It means $\frac{w i n e (l e f t)}{w i n e (i n i t i a l a m o u n t)} = \frac{343}{512}$ (since 343 + 169 = 512)

Thus, $343 x = 512 x {(1 - \frac{15}{k})}^{3}$

$\frac{343}{512} = {(\frac{7}{8})}^{3} = {(1 - \frac{15}{k})}^{3}$

$(1 - \frac{15}{k}) = \frac{7}{8} = (1 - \frac{1}{8})$

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.

Q:

A jar was full with honey. A person used to draw out 20% of the honey from the jar and replaced it with sugar solution. He has repeated the same process 4 times and thus there was only 512 gm of honey left in the jar, the rest part of the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was:

A) 1.25 kg	B) 1 kg
C) 1.5 kg	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.25 kg

Explanation:

Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was k, then

$512 = k {(1 - \frac{1}{5})}^{4} o r 512 = k {(\frac{4}{5})}^{4}$

=> $k = \frac{512 \times 625}{256}$

=> k = 1250

Hence initially the honey in the jar = 1.25 kg

Q:

A milkman has 20 liters of milk. If he mixes 5 liters of water, which is freely available, in 20 liters of pure milk. If the cost of pure milk is Rs. 18 per litre, then the profit of the milkman, when he sells all the mixture at cost price, is:

A) 20%	B) 25%
C) 33.33%	D) 18%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25%

Explanation:

When the water is freely available and all the water is sold at the price of the milk, then the water gives the profit on the cost of 20 litres of milk.

Since, the profit % = $\frac{P r o f i t}{C o s t P r i c e} x 100$

Therefore, profit percentage = $\frac{5}{20} x 100$ = 25%
