Q:

Two vessel P and Q contain milk and water in ratio 3 : 2 and 5 : 3 respectively. If 10 liters of the mixture is removed from vessels P and poured in vessel Q then ratio of milk to water in vessel Q becomes 8 : 5. Find the initial quantity of water in vessel Q.

A) 10 lit B) 6 lit
C) 16 lit D) 12 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 lit

Explanation:

Given ratio of initial mixture of milk and water in Q = 5 : 3

Let the initial quantity of mixture in vessel Q = 8x

Let quantity of Milk = 5x and

Let quantity of water = 3x

According to the question,

5x + 10 x 353x + 10 x 25  = 85

=> 25x + 30 = 24x + 32

=> x = 2

Required Initial quantity of milk = 5x = 5 x 2 = 10 lit.

Q:

A train is traveling at 48 kmph . It crosses another train having half of its length , traveling in opposite direction at 42 kmph, in 12 seconds. It also passes a railway platform in 45 seconds. What is the length of the platform ?

A) 500 B) 400
C) 360 D) 480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 400

Explanation:

Speed of train 1 = 48 kmph
Let the length of train 1 = 2x meter

Speed of train 2 = 42 kmph
Length of train 2 = x meter (because it is half of train 1's length)

Distance = 2x + x = 3x
Relative speed= 48+42 = 90 kmph = (90*5/18)  m/s = 25 m/s 


Time = 12 s

Distance/time = speed 

=>3x/12 = 25 (25*12)/3 

Length of the first train = 2x = 200 meter
Time taken to cross the platform= 45 s

Speed of train 1 = 48 kmph = 480/36 = 40/3 m/s

Distance = 200 + y     [where y is the length of the platform] 

x =100m => 200+y = 45* 40/3
y = 400m

Four thermal heaters A,B, C and D are used in the R & D department of Raliance chemicals Ltd. Only one heater can be used on any day . If heater A is used on any day, neither A nor C can be used the next day. If heater C is used on any day, neither C nor D can be used on the next day. If heater C is used on any day, then A has to be used the next day. If heater D is used on any day, then B has to be used the next day.

If heater D is used on the third day and different heaters are used on first and fourth day, which heater is used on the first day ?

   (1) D       (2) A       (3) B        (4) C

Answer

If heater D is used on the third day, heater B has to be used on the fourth day and A has to be used on the second day. But if A is used on second day, then either B or C has to be used on the first day. But if heater B is used on the first day, then according to the question, the requirement of having different heaters on the first day and fourth days would not be fulfilled. Hence the heater that would be used on the first day is C.

Q:

In a certain Business, the profit is 220% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A) 61% B) 75%
C) 55% D) 81%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 61%

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220, 

S.P. = Rs.320.

 

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

 

Required percentage = 195320×100== 60.9 =~ 61%
