Q:

The milk and water in two vessels A and B are in the ratio 4:3 and 2:3 respectively. In what ratio the liquids in both the vessels be mixed to obtain a new mixture in vessel c consisting half milk and half water?

A) 8:3 B) 6:7
C) 7:5 D) 11:7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7:5

Explanation:

Milk in 1-litre mixture of A = 4/7 litre. 

Milk in 1-litre mixture of B = 2/5 litre. 

Milk in 1-litre mixture of C = 1/2 litre.

 

By rule of alligation we have required ratio X:Y   

   X                  :                 Y  

  4/7                                2/5  

           \                      /

              (Mean ratio)
                   (1/2) 

           /                      \

 (1/2 – 2/5)     :       (4/7 – 1/2)  

    1/10                      1/1 4 

 

So Required ratio = X : Y = 1/10 : 1/14 = 7:5

A) 225 deg B) 210 deg
C) 205 deg D) 245 deg
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 225 deg

Explanation:

Angle of triangle = 180 × 3/12

= 45 deg

Other angles of the triangle are = 60 deg, 75 deg

Angle of quadrilateral

= 360 - (45 + 60 + 75)

= 180 deg

Therefore, the four angles of the quadrilateral are 45, 60, 75 & 180 degrees.

Hence, the sum of largest and smallest angle of the quadrilateral are 180 + 45 = 225 deg.
