Q:

The ratio of water and alcohol in two different containers is 2:3 and 4:5. In what ratio we are required to mix the mixtures of two containers in order to get the new mixture in which the ratio of alcohol and water be 7:5?

A) 7:3	B) 5:3
C) 8:5	D) 2:7

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5:3

Explanation:

$W 1 : A 1 W 2 : A 2 . . . . . W N : A N$

2 : 3 4 : 5 5 : 7

$\frac{W 1}{W 1 + A 1} = \frac{2}{5} \frac{W 2}{W 2 + A 2} = \frac{4}{9} \frac{W N}{W N + A N} = \frac{5}{12}$

= 72/180

= 80/180

= 75/180

=> 5 : 3

Therefore, the ratio is 5: 3

Q:

A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which A alone could have done in 23 days ?

A) 9 days	B) 11 days
C) 13 days	D) 15 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13 days

Explanation:

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.

Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x => x = ( 23 x 13/10 ) => x = 299 /10.

A's 1 day's work = 1/23 ;
B's 1 day's work = 10/299 .

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = ( 1/23 + 10/299 ) = 23/299 = 113 .

Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.

Q:

If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days what is time taken by 15 men and 20 boys?

A) 4 days	B) 6 days
C) 7 days	D) 5 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4 days

Explanation:

Given that

6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days

26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days

As the work done is equal,

10(6M + 8B) = 2(26M + 48B)

60M + 80B = 52M + 96B

=> M = 2B

=> B = M/2 ……(1)

Now Put (1) in 15M + 20B

=> 15M + 10M = 25M

Now, 6M + 8B in 10 days

=> (6M + 4M) 10 = 100M

Then D(25M) = 100M

=> D = 4 days.

Q:

The population of a town was 3600 three years back. It is 4800 right now. What will be the population three years down the line, if the rate of growth of population has been constant over the years and has been compounding annually?

A) Rs.600	B) Rs,6400
C) Rs.6500	D) Rs.6600

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs,6400

Explanation:

The population grew from 3600 to 4800 in 3 years. That is a growth of 1200 on 3600 during three year span.

Therefore, the rate of growth for three years has been constant.

The rate of growth during the next three years will also be the same.

Therefore, the population will grow from 4800 by $4800 * \frac{1}{3}$ = 1600

Hence, the population three years from now will be 4800 + 1600 = 6400
