Correct Answer: 2300
Correct Answer: 73 : 116
Correct Answer: 4 kg
Explanation:
Let the weight of vessel be x
Weight of water = 24 ? x
? (24 ? x)/4 + x = 9
? 24 ? x + 4x = 36
? 3x = 12
? x = 4 kg
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Let initial quantity of milk & water in the mixture are 5x & 4x
2 litres water is added.
Hence,
New quantity of milk & water will be 5x & (4x+2)
ATQ,
5x/(4x+2) = 10/9
x/(4x+2) = 2/9 9x = 8x + 4
x=4
Hence,
New amount of water in the mixture = 4x+2 = (4*4) + 2 = 18 litres.
Correct Answer: 5 lit
Explanation:
Jar A has 36 litres of mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 5 : 4 => Quantity of milk in Jar A = 5/9 x 36 = 20 litres Quantity of water in Jar A = 36 - 20 = 16 litres Let quantity of water in Jar B = x litres => Quantity of milk in Jar B = (20 - x) litres Acc. to ques, =>[20 + (20-x)]/(16+x) = 5/3 => 120?3x = 80+5x => 5x +3x = 120?80 => 8x = 40 => 5 litres.
Correct Answer: 5:2
Correct Answer: 12800
Correct Answer: 1 : 3
Correct Answer: 7 : 9
Correct Answer: 823.08 ltr
Explanation:
Amount of pure milk= a(1 ?b/a)n(n = 3, a = pure milk and b = amount replaced)= 960 (1 ?48/960)^3= 960(1-1/20)^3= 960 * 19/20 * 19/20*19/20= 823.08 lt.
