M1/S1 = 3/4 .....(1)

M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)

S1/S2 = 2/3 .....(3)

Q:

If 34 men completed 2/5th of a work in 8 days working 9 hours a day. How many more man should be engaged to finish the rest of the work in 6 days working 9 hours a day ?

A) 101 men	B) 112 men
C) 102 men	D) 120 men

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 102 men

Explanation:

From the above formula i.e (m1 x t1/w1) = (m2 x t2/w2)

so, [(34 x 8 x 9)/(2/5)] = [(M x 6 x 9)/(3/5)]

so, M = 136 men

Number of men to be added to finish the work = 136-34 = 102 men.

Q:

In a 40 litre mixture of alcohol & water, the ratio of alcohol and water is 5 : 3. If 20% of this mixture is taken out and the same amount of water is added then what will be the ratio of alcohol and water in final mixture?

A) 1:1	B) 2:1
C) 3:1	D) 1:2

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1:1

Explanation:

Quantity of alohol in the mixture = 40 x 5/8 = 25 lit

Quantity of water = 40 - 25 = 15 lit

According to question,

Required ratio = $\frac{20 - (40 x \frac{20}{100} x \frac{5}{8})}{15 - (40 x \frac{20}{100} x \frac{3}{8}) + 40 x \frac{20}{100}} = \frac{20}{15 - 3 + 8} = 1 : 1$

Q:

A milkman has 20 liters of milk. If he mixes 5 liters of water, which is freely available, in 20 liters of pure milk. If the cost of pure milk is Rs. 18 per litre, then the profit of the milkman, when he sells all the mixture at cost price, is:

A) 20%	B) 25%
C) 33.33%	D) 18%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25%

Explanation:

When the water is freely available and all the water is sold at the price of the milk, then the water gives the profit on the cost of 20 litres of milk.

Since, the profit % = $\frac{P r o f i t}{C o s t P r i c e} x 100$

Therefore, profit percentage = $\frac{5}{20} x 100$ = 25%
