Correct Answer: 1 : 10
Explanation:
Customer ratio of Milk and Water is given by
Milk :: Water
6.4 0
=> Milk : Water = 110 : 11 = 10 : 1
Therefore, the proportionate of Water to Milk for Customer is 1 : 10
Correct Answer: 1.25 kg
Explanation:
Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was K, then
or
Therefore, K = 1250
Hence initially the honey in the jar= 1.25 kg
Correct Answer: 32 lit
Explanation:
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.
Correct Answer: 80%
Explanation:
Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm.
After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm.
So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%.
Correct Answer: 50 l
Explanation:
Let the tin contain 5x litres of liquids
=> 5(4x - 36) = 2(x + 36)
=> 20x - 180 = 2x + 72
=> x = 14 litres
Hence, the initial quantity of mixture = 70l
Quantity of liquid B
=
= 50 litres.
Correct Answer: 29.63 litres
Explanation:
Given that container has 50 litres of milk.
After replacing 8 litres of milk with water for three times, milk contained in the container is:
= 29.63 litres.
Correct Answer: 49 : 221
Explanation:
Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg and Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg
Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg and Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg
Therefore, Copper in mixture = kg
and Zinc in the mixture = kg
Therefore the required ratio = 49 : 221
Correct Answer: 76.92%
Explanation:
Let the milk he bought is 1000 ml
Let C.P of 1000 ml is Rs. 100
Here let he is mixing K ml of water
He is getting 30% profit
=> Now, the selling price is also Rs. 100 for 1000 ml
=> 100 : K%
= 100 : 30
10 : 3 is ratio of milk to water
=> Percentage of milk = 10 x 100/13 = 1000/13 = 76.92%
Correct Answer: 1.25 kg
Explanation:
Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was k, then
=>
=> k = 1250
Hence initially the honey in the jar = 1.25 kg
Correct Answer: 160 liters
Explanation:
Apply the Allegation Method and first calculate the ratio in which they have to be mixed. = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3 Thus, the two varieties of oil should be mixed in the ratio 2 : 3. So, if 240 liters of the second variety are taken, then 160 liters of the first variety should be taken.
