Paint needs to be thinned to a ratio of 2 parts paint to 1.5 parts water. The painter has by mistake added water so that he has 6 litres of paint which is half water and half paint. What must he add to make the proportions of the mixture correct?
Options- A. 1 litre paint
- B. 1 litre water
- C. ½ litre water and one litre paint
- D. ½ litre paint and one litre water
- Correct Answer
- 1 litre paint
ExplanationAt the moment the paint is 3 liters of paint and 3 liters of water. We need to add to this to make the new ratio 2 liters paint to 1.5 liters water. As this is equivalent to 4 : 3 we can see that we have the right amount of water, and just need 1 liter of paint to make it correct.

Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
The number of pieces of chocolate left with Manju
= 1- [(1/4) + (1/3) + (1/6)
= 1 - (3 + 4 + 2)/12
= 1 - 9/12 = (12 - 9) / 12
= 3/12

Correct Answer: 1/2
Explanation:
Total number of cards n(S) = 52
Number of red cards n(E) = 26
? P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 26/52 = 1/2
Correct Answer: 7 / 30
Explanation:
Given Exp. = [(4 x 5 x 6) + (5 x 6) + (2 x 6) + (2 x 3)] / [(2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6)]
= 168 / (24 x 30)
= 7 / 30
Correct Answer: 60 m
Explanation:
Speeds (in m/sec) of A and B are
9 / 2 * 5 / 18 = 5 / 4 and 6 * 5 / 18 = 5 / 3, respectively.
A has a start of 190 m.
So, A has to run 1000 - 190 = 810 m, while B 1000 m.
Time taken by B to cover 1000 m = 3 5 × 1000 = 600 seconds.
In this time, A covers 5 × 600 / 4 = 750 m.
So, B reaches the winning post while A remains 810 - 750 = 60 m behind.
? B wins by 60 m.
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Let 30% of 80/y =24
? 24y = (30 x 80)/100
? y = (30 x 80)/ (24 x 100) =1
Correct Answer: 4928 m2
Explanation:
Let the radius of the park be r, then
?r + 2r = 288
(? + 2)r = 288
? [(22/7) + 2]r = 288
? r = (288 x 7)/36 = 56
? Area of the park = (1/2)?r2
= (1/2) x (22/7) x 56 x 56
= 4928
Correct Answer: 625
Explanation:
1178.999 x 25.0001 - ?? x 16.0011 = 29075
? 1179 x 25 - ?? x 16 = 29075
? 29475 - ?? x 16 = 29075
? ?? x 16 = 29475 - 29075 = 400
? ?? = 25
? ? = 25 x 25 = 625
Correct Answer: 96
