A) 30 points B) 20 points

What time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a clock be at rightangle?

A) 3 5/11 B) 4 5/11
C) 5 5/11 D) 6 5/11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5 5/11

Explanation:

this type of problems the formulae is
(5*x + or -15)*(12/11)
Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time
here i.e 4
Case 1 : (5*x + 15)*(12/11)
(5*4 +15)*(12/11)
(20+15)*(12/11)
35*12/11=420/11=38 2/11 min.
Therefore they are right angles at 38 2/11 min .past4
Case 2 : (5*x-15)*(12/11)
(5*4-15)*(12/11)
(20-15)*(12/11)
5*12/11=60/11 min=5 5/11min
Therefore they are right angles at 5 5/11 min.past4.

Q:

From a container, 6 liters milk was drawn out and was replaced by water. Again 6 liters of mixture was drawn out and was replaced by the water. Thus the quantity of milk and water in the container after these two operations is 9:16. The quantity of mixture is:

A) 15 B) 16
C) 25 D) 31
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15

Explanation:

Let quantity of mixture be x liters.

 

Suppose a container contains x units of liquid from which y units are taken out and replaced by Water. After operations , the quantity of pure liquid = x1-yxn units, Where n = no of operations . 

 

So, Quantity of Milk = x1-6x2  

 

Given that, Milk : Water = 9 : 16 

 

=> Milk : (Milk + Water) = 9 : (9+16)

 

=> Milk : Mixture = 9 : 25 

 

 Therefore, x1-6x2x=925

 

=> x = 15 liters
