Questions and Answers

Q 1 - In a mixture of 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 5:1. How much water must be added to this mixture so that the ratio of milk and water becomes 2:3?

A - 55

B - 60

C - 65

D - 70

Answer : C

Explanation

Let water is x
5x:x = milk:water
50 :10 = 5x:x (since 60litres )
Now  50/(10+x)=2/3 => x=65 litres

Q 2 - Two numbers are respectively 80% and 60% more than a third number. What is the ratio between two numbers?

A - 7:8

B - 8:9

C - 9:8

D - 4:3

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the third number be x
=> The first and second number becomes 1.8x and 1.6x
Their ratio will be 1.8x/1.6x=1.8/1.6=9/8 = 9:8

Q 3 - If a:b =2:3 and b:c =4:5 , then c:a =?

A - 15:8

B - 6:5

C - 8:5

D - 8:15

Answer : A

Explanation

A/C = (a/b *b/c) = (2/3*4/5 ) = 8/15 
C/A =15/8 , 
so C:A = 15:8

Q 4 - If 2A =3B and 4B=5C,then A:C=?

A - 3:4

B - 15:8

C - 8:15

D - 4:3

Answer : B

Explanation

2A =3B thus A/B=3/2 and 4B=5C thus B/C = 5/4 
∴  A/C=(A/B*B/C)
= (3/2*5/4) = 15/8 A:C =15:8.

Q 5 - In a school, the proportion of young men and young ladies is 4:5 . at the point when 100 young lady leaves the school , the proportion gets to be 6:7 . What are number of young men are there in the school?

A - 1300

B - 1200

C - 1500

D - 1600

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the number of boys and girls be 4x and 5x respectively.
      Then,4x/5x-100=6/7?28x=30x-600 =>2x=600 => x=300.
Number of  boys=(4*300)=1200.

Q 6 - The no's proportion of understudy concentrating on in school A,B and C is 5:6:8 . In the event that the no. of understudy in each of the schools is expanded by 30%, 25% and 25% individually, what will be the new proportion of the understudy in the school A, B and C?

A - 14:15:20

B - 13:15:20

C - 15:17:19

D - 16:17:19

Answer : B

Explanation

New strength = (130% of 5x), (125% of 6x) and (125% of 8x)
= (130/100*5x), (125/100*6x),(125/100*8x)
New ratio=650x/100:750x/100:1000x/100=65:75:100=13:15:20.

Q 7 - At the point when 20% of a no. is added to another no., the no. increment by half. What is the proportion between the first and the second no?

A - 3:2

B - 2:3

C - 5:2

D - cannot be resolved

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the numbers be x and y. Then,
Y+ 20x/100 = (150/100)y
=> x/5 ={ (3/2)y-y}= y/2
=> 2x-5y
=> x/y=5/2 
=> x:y =5:2

Q 8 - The proportion of first and worthless train passages between two stations is 3:1 and that of the no. of traveler going between two these by first and inferior 1:50 . in the event that on a specific day rs.1325 be gathered from the travelers going between these stations, then the sum gathered from useless travelers is:

A - 1250

B - 1000

C - 850

D - 750

Answer : A

Explanation

Ratio of the amounts collected form 1stand 2nd  class fares
    =(3*1:1*50)=3:50.
Amount collected from 2nd   class passengers=Rs (1325*50/53) = Rs 1250.

Q 9 - An entirety of cash is isolated among A, B and C in a manner that to every rs. A gets 100, B gets 65 paisa and C gets 35 paisa. If C offer is 28, the total is:

A - 120

B - 140

C - 160

D - 180

Answer : C

Explanation

A:B:C=100:65:35 = 20:13:7
If C share is 7, sum is (20+13+7).
If C share is 28, sum is (40/7*28)= 160

Q 10 - Two vessels A and B contain drain and water blended in the proportion 5:3 and 2:3. At the point when these blends are blended to frame another blend containing half drain and half water, they must be taken in the proportion

A - 2:5

B - 3:5

C - 4:5

D - 7:3

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the required ratio be x:1,
Milk in x liters of A=(x*5/8) liters=5x/8 liters,Water=3x/8 liters.
Milk in 1 litre of B=(1*2/5) litre=2/5 litre, Water =3/5 liters.
∴ (5x/8+2/5) / (3x/8+3/5) = 1/1 
=>(5x/8+2/5)=(3x/8+3/5)
=> 2x/8=1/5 
=>x=4/5.
Required ratio= 4/5:1=4:5.
