Q:

Two vessels A and B contain spirit and water in the ratio 5 : 2 and 7 : 6 respectively. Find the ratio in which these mixture be mixed to obtain a new mixture in vessel C containing spirit and water in the ration 8 : 5 ?

A) 4:3 B) 3:4
C) 5:6 D) 7:9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7:9

Explanation:

Let the C.P. of spirit be Re. 1 litre.
Spirit in 1 litre mix. of A = 5/7 litre, C.P. of 1 litre mix.
in A = Re. 5/7
Spirit in 1 litre mix. of B = 7/13 litre, C.P. of 1 litre mix.
in B = Re. 7/13
Spirit in 1 litre mix. of C = 8/13 litre, Mean price = Re. 8/13.

 

By the rule of alligation, we have:
Cost of 1 litre mixture in A                          Cost of 1 litre mixture in B

 


 

 Required ratio = 1/13 : 9/91 = 7:9.

Q:

The total weight of a tin and the cookies it contains is 2 pounds. After ¾ of the cookies are eaten, the tin and the remaining cookies weigh 0.8 pounds. What is the weight of the empty tin in pounds?

A) 0.2 B) 0.3
C) 0.4 D) 0.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 0.4

Explanation:

Let the weight of the empty tin = w

(2 - w) = weight of the cookies; and one quarter of the cookies weigh (2 - w)/4

One quarter of the cookies + tin = 0.8 = w + (2 - w)/4

Multiply through by 4; 3.2 = 4w + 2 - w

1.2 = 3w; w = 0.4

Q:

An atom has 7 electrons in its M - shell and contains 18 neutrons in its nucleus. What is its mass number

A) 25 B) 27
C) 35 D) 43
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35

Explanation:

According to Bohr model, Each shell can occupy 2n2 electrons in their orbits where n=1,2,3.. for K,L,M,..

 

The atom has 2 electrons in k, 8 electrons in L and 7 electrons in M = 2 + 8 + 7 = 17

 

And given that its nucleus has 18 neutrons

 

=> its mass number = number of (electrons + neutrons ) = 17 + 18 = 35
