Q:

There are two mixtures of honey and water in which the ratio of honey and water are as 1:3 and 3:1 respectively. Two litres are drawn from first mixture and 3 litres from second mixture, are mixed to form another mixture. What is the ratio of honey and water in it ?

A) 111:108 B) 11:9
C) 103:72 D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 11:9

Explanation:

From the given data,

 

The part of honey in the first mixture = 1/4

 

The part of honey in the second mixture = 3/4

 

Let the part of honey in the third mixture = x

 

Then,

 

1/4             3/4

 

           x

 

(3/4)-x     x-(1/4) 

 

Given from mixtures 1 & 2 the ratio of mixture taken out is 2 : 3

 

=> 34-xx-14=23

 

=> Solving we get the part of honey in the third mixture as 11/20

 

=> the remaining part of the mixture is water = 9/20

 

Hence, the ratio of the mixture of honey and water in the third mixture is 11 : 9 .

Q:

The average of 26,29,n,35 and 43 lies between 25 and 35. If n is always an integer and greater than the average  of the given integers then the value of n is :

A) 33 B) 34
C) 33 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 33
Explanation:

Average of 26,29,35 and 43 is 33.25 . Also the average of 26 , 29, n, 35 and 43 lies between 25 and 35 i.e,

 25<26+29+n+35+435<35 

=> 125 < 26+29+n+35+43 < 175 

=> 125 < 133 + n < 175

=> n < 42

 Since the value of n is an integer and greater than 33.25 then 33 < n < 42 for every integer n.

Q:

From a total of six men and four ladies a committee of three is to be formed. If Mrs. X is not willing to join the committee in which Mr. Y is a member, whereas Mr.Y is willing to join the committee only if Mrs Z is included, how many such committee are possible?

A) 91 B) 104
C) 109 D) 98
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 91

Explanation:

We first count the number of committee in which

(i). Mr. Y is a member
(ii). the ones in which he is not

Case (i): As Mr. Y agrees to be in committee only where Mrs. Z is a member.
Now we are left with (6-1) men and (4-2) ladies (Mrs. X is not willing to join).

We can choose 1 more in5+2C1=7 ways.

Case (ii): If Mr. Y is not a member then we left with (6+4-1) people.
we can select 3 from 9 in 9C3=84 ways.

Thus, total number of ways is 7+84= 91 ways.
