Q:

The concentration of petrol in three different mixtures (petrol and kerosene) is 1/2 , 3/5 and 4/5 respectively. If 2 litres, 3 litres and 1 litre are taken from these three different vessels and mixed. what is the ratio of petrol and kerosene in the new mixture?

A) 4:5 B) 3:2
C) 3:5 D) 2:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3:2

Explanation:

Concentration of petrol in    A        B        C

                                                1/2      3/5     4/5

Quantity of petrol taken from A = 1 litre out of 2 litre

Quantity of petrol taken from B = 1.8litre out of 3 litre

Quantity of petrol taken from C = 0.8 litre out of 1 litre

Therefore, total petrol taken out from A, B and C = 1+1.8+0.8 =3.6 litres

So, the quantity of kerosen =(2+3+1) - 3.6 =2.4 litre

Thus, the ratio of petrol to kerosene = 3.6/2.4 = 3/2

Q:

A sum of money amounts to Rs. 9800 after 5 years and Rs. 12005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is:

A) 5% B) 8%
C) 12% D) 15%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12%

S.I. for 3 years = Rs. (12005 - 9800) = Rs. 2205.

 

S.I. for 5 years = Rs.22053×5= Rs.3675

 

Principle = Rs.(9800-3675) = Rs.6125

 

Hence, Rate = 100×36756125×5 =12%
