Q:

A vessel is filled with liquid, 3 parts of which are water and 5 parts of syrup. How much of the mixture must be drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and half syrup?

A) 1/3 B) 1/4
C) 1/5 D) 1/7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/5

Explanation:

Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 litres of liquid.

 

Let x litres of this liquid be replaced with water.
Quantity of water in new mixture =  3-3x8+xlitres.

 

Quantity of syrup in new mixture =  5-5x8 litres.

 

  3-3x8+x=5-5x8

 

=>   5x + 24 = 40 - 5x 

 

=>   10x = 16    => x = 8/5

 

So, part of the mixture replaced = 85×18 = 1/5.

Q:

Consider the following frequency distribution:

x     f

8     6

5     4

6     5

10    8

9     9

4     6

7     4

What is the median for the distribution?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8

Explanation:
Summation of frequencies = 6+4+5+8+9+6+4 = 42
Median = mid value = average of 21st and 22nd value
Arranging data in increasing order we get

x     f

4     6

5     4

6     5

7     4

8     6

9     9

10    8

Then, CE = AB = 1.6 m,

 

BE = AC =

 DEtan30=> DE = tan30 x 203=> DE = 13x203 = 20

 

Therefore, CD = CE + DE = (1.6 + 20) m = 21.6 m.

A) Rs 100 B) Rs 150
C) Rs 200 D) Rs 250

Its Selling price = (105/100) * x = 21x/20
New Cost price  = (95/100) * x  = 19x/20
New Selling price = (110/100 )* (19x/20 )= 209x/200
[(21x/20) - (209x/200)] = 1
=> x = 200
