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:

Alloy A contains 40% gold and 60% silver. Alloy B contains 35% gold and 40% silver and 25% copper. Alloys A and B are mixed in the ratio of 1:4 .What is the ratio of gold and silver in the newly formed alloy is?

A) 20% and 30%	B) 36% and 44%
C) 25% and 35%	D) 49% and 36%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36% and 44%

Explanation:

Assume the weight of alloy a is 100 kg

Therefore, The weight of alloy B is 400kg

Gold silver copper

A 40kg 60kg 0kg

B 140kg 160kg 100kg

total 180kg 220kg 100kg

Therefore, Ratio of gold and silver in new alloy = $\frac{180}{500} : \frac{200}{500}$ = 36% :44%

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:

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.
