- Question
The milk and water in two vessels are in the ratio of 3 : 1 and 7 : 11 respectively. In what ratio should the liquid in both the vessels be mixed to obtaina new mixture containing half milk and half water?
Options- A. 5 : 7
- B. 4 : 9
- C. 1 : 1
- D. 4 : 7
- Correct Answer
- 4 : 9
ExplanationLet the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively.
According to given data,
4x/3x+6 =8/7
28x=24x+48
28x?24x=48
4x = 48
x = 12
Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.

Correct Answer: 21 cms
Explanation:
3.78 meters =378 cm = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7
5.25 meters=525 cm = 5 × 5 × 3 × 7
Hence common factors are 3 and 7
Hence LCM = 3 × 7 = 21
Hence largest size of square tiles that can be paved exactly with square tiles is 21 cm.
Correct Answer: 18/7

Interest earned in scheme M =
Interest earned in scheme N =
Now, from the given data,
k = 11
Correct Answer: 15
Correct Answer: 16?3 sq cm
Correct Answer: 1
Correct Answer: 28
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
Square units 13 by 9 of an office means office of length 13 units and breadth 9 units.
Now its area is 13x 9 = 117 square units or units square.
Correct Answer: 195 seconds
Explanation:
Let the time required by x seconds.
Then, More cloth means More time (Direct Proportion)
So, 0.128 : 1 :: 25 : x
=> x = 195.31
So time will be approx 195 seconds
Correct Answer: 432 sq.mts
Explanation:
Let the breadth of the rectangle = b mts
Then Length of the rectangle = b + 6 mts
Given perimeter = 84 mts
2(L + B) = 84 mts
2(b+6 + b) = 84
2(2b + 6) = 84
4b + 12 = 84
4b = 84 - 12
4b = 72
b = 18 mts
=> Length = b + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24 mts
Now, required Area of the rectangle = L x B = 24 x 18 = 432 sq. mts
