Q:

If x and y are the two digits of the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then x+y is equal to  ?

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

Explanation:

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

A) 1.9048 B) 1.2040
C) 0.9840 D) 1.4521
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1.2040

Explanation:

Given that, log 64 = 1.8061

 i.e log43=1.8061 

--> 3 log 4 = 1.8061

--> log 4 = 0.6020

--> 2 log 4 = 1.2040

log42=1.2040

Q:

Milk and water are mixed in a vessel A as 4:1 and in vessel B as 3:2. For vessel C, if one takes equal quantities from A and B, find the ratio of milk to water in C.

A) 1:9 B) 9:1
C) 3:7 D) 7:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7:3

Explanation:

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1

 

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2

 

Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5

 

Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5

 

Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C

 

Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B

 

=> 4/5     :     3/5
               x 
  3/5-x          x - 4/5

 

=> 35-xx-45 = 11 (equal quantities)

 

=> x = 7/10

 

Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C  = 7

 

=> Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3

 

Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
