Q:

A took 15 seconds to cross a rectangular field diagonally walking at the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time to cross the same field along its sides walking at the rate of 68m/min. The area of the field is?

A) 50 B) 60
C) 70 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

length of the diagonal = 52 x (15/60) =13m 

sum of length and breadth = 68 x (15/60) = 17m

 

l2+b2=13 or l+b =17

area =lb = 1/2[(2lb)] = 1/2[(l+b)² - (l²+b²)] = 1/2[17² -169]

=1/2 x 120 = 60 sq.m

Q:

How many liters of oil at Rs.40 per liter should be mixed with 240 liters of a second variety of oil at Rs.60 per liter so as to get a maximum whose cost is Rs.52 per liter ?

Answer

Apply Allegation Method and first calculate the ratio in which they have to be mixed.



= 8 : 12 = 2 : 3


Thus, the two varieties of oil should be mixed in the ratio 2 : 3. So, if 240 liters of the second variety are taken, then 160 liters of the first variety should be taken.
