Q:

A rectangular plot measuring 90 metres by 50 metres is to be enclosed by wire fencing. If the poles of the fence are kept 5 metres apart, how many poles will be needed?

A) 56m B) 65m
C) 34m D) 36m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56m

Explanation:

Length of the wire fencing = perimeter = 2(90 + 50) = 280 metres

Two poles will be kept 5 metres apart. Also remember that the poles will be placed along the perimeter of the rectangular plot, not in a single straight line which is very important.

 

Hence number of poles required = 280 / 5 = 56

Q:

In a 48 ltr mixture, the ratio of milk and water is 5:3. How much water should be added in the mixture so as the ratio will become 3:5 ?

A) 24 lit B) 16 lit
C) 32 lit D) 8 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32 lit

Given mixture = 48 lit

Milk in it = 48 x 5/8 = 30 lit

=> Water in it = 48 - 30 = 18 lit

Let 'L' lit of water is added to make the ratio as 3:5

=> 30/(18+L) = 3/5

=> 150 = 54 + 3L

=> L = 32 lit.

Q:

A mixture of 70 litres of Fruit Juice and water contains 10% water. How many litres of water should be added to the mixture so that the mixture contains 12.5% water   ?

A) 2 lit B) 4 lit
C) 1 lit D) 3 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2 lit

Explanation:

Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.

 

After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.

 

Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72 

 

Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.
