At the university entrance exam, a candidate is admitted according to whether he has passed or failed the test. Of the candidates who are really capable, 80 % pass the test and of the incapable, 30 % pass the test. Given that 40 % of the candidates are really capable, then the proportion of the really capable students who can pass the test to the total students who can pass is about ?

Distance covered = 550 meter. = 0.55 km
Speed of the train = 55 km/hr

So time taken = 0.55 / 55 =1/100 hr = (60 x 60 )/100 sec = 36 sec

? = 95^3.7 ÷ 95^0.9989 = 95^?
? 95^{(3.7 - 0.9989)} = 95^?
? 95^2.7011 = 95^?
? ? = 2.7011 ? 2.7

Therefore x = 21%

Total no.of boys : no. of girls = 13:27

       27             :                13

Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg. By the rule of alligation, we have :

Cost of 1 kg of type 1 rice           Cost of 1 kg of type 2 rice  

?(20-x)/(x-15) = 2/3 

? 60 - 3x = 2x - 30

  ? x = 18.

pool : kerosene 

   3  :  2(initially) 

   2  :  3(after replacement)

  R e m a i n i n g Q u a n t i t y I n i t i a l Q u a n t i t y = 1 - R e p l a c e d Q u a n t i t y T o t a l Q u a n t i t y

(for petrol)    2 3 = 1 - 10 k

 => K = 30

 Therefore the total quantity of the mixture in the container is 30 liters.

Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.
6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)
10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44.

The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.
