Q:

The number of oranges in three baskets are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5. In which ratio the no. of oranges in first two baskets must be increased so that the new ratio   becomes 5 : 4 : 3?

A) 1:3 B) 2:1
C) 3:4 D) 2:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:1

Explanation:

Let,   B1 : B2 : B3 = 3x : 4x : 5x 

 

again  B1 : B2 : B3 = 5y : 4y : 3y

 

Since there is increase in no.of oranges in first two baskets only, it means the no. of oranges remains constant in the third basket

 

Therefore,   5x = 3y

 

Hence    3x : 4x : 5x   =>   9y5:12y5:15y5 = 9y:12y:15y

 

and       5y : 4y : 3y   =>   25x : 20x : 15x

 

Therfore, increment in first basket = 16

 

Increment in second basket = 8

 

Thus, required ratio = 16/8 = 2:1

Q:

In a pot, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk, the pot would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the pot ?

A) 11 lit B) 22 lit
C) 33 lit D) 44 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 22 lit

Explanation:

Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.
6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)
10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44.

The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.
