Q:

A can contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio  7 : 5. When 9 litres of mixture are drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many litres of liquid A was contained by the can initially?

A) 10 B) 20
C) 21 D) 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 21

Explanation:

Suppose the can initially contains 7x and 5x litres of mixtures A and B respectively

 

Quantity of A in mixture left =7x-712×9=7x-214 litres.

 

Quantity of B in mixture left =  5x-512×9=5x-154litres.

 

7x-2145x-154+9=79

 

28x-2120x+21=79

 

x=3

 So, the can contained 21 litres of A.

Q:

A parallelogram has sides 30m and 14m and one of its diagonals is 40m long. Then its area is

A) 136 B) 236
C) 336 D) 436
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 336

Explanation:

let ABCD be the given parallelogram 

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x (area of triangle ABC) 

now a = 30m, b = 14m and c = 40m

 s=1/2 x (30+14+40) = 42 

 

Area of triangle ABC = ss-as-bs-c  

 

= 4212282= 168sq m 

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 168 = 336 sq m
