View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

After selling 1\/4th of the mixture, the remaining quantity of water is 15 liters and milk is 60 liters. So the milkman would add 25 liters of water to the mixture. The total amount of water now is 40 liters and milk is 60 liters. Therefore, the required ratio is 2:3.<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS for the following two questions: The following table presents the sweetness of different items relative to sucrose, whose sweetness is taken to be 1.00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Question 2:\u00a0<\/b>What is the maximum amount of sucrose (to the nearest gram) that can be added to one-gram of saccharin such that the final mixture obtained is atleast 100 times as sweet as glucose?<\/p>\n

a)\u00a07<\/p>\n

b)\u00a08<\/p>\n

c)\u00a09<\/p>\n

d)\u00a0100<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

For the mixture to be 100 times as sweet as glucose, its sweetness relative to the mixture should be at least 74.<\/p>\n

1 gm of saccharin = 675<\/p>\n

Let the number of grams of sucrose to be added be N. Thus, the total weight of the mixture = N + 1.<\/p>\n

So, (675 + N) \/ (N+1) = 74<\/p>\n

=> 675 + N = 74N + 74<\/p>\n

=> 601 = 73N => N = 8.23<\/p>\n

When N=9, sweetness will be S = (675+9)\/10 = 684\/10 = 68.4<\/p>\n

When N=8, sweetness will be S = (675+8)\/9 = 683\/9 = 75.8<\/p>\n

So, option b) is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

Question 3:\u00a0<\/b>Approximately how many times sweeter than sucrose is a mixture consisting of glucose, sucrose and fructose in the ratio of 1: 2: 3?<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

The ratio of milk and water in Bottle 1 is 7:2 and the ratio of milk and water in Bottle 2 is 9:4
\nTherefore, the proportion of milk in Bottle 1 is $\\frac{7}{9}$ and the proportion of milk in Bottle 2 is $\\frac{9}{13}$<\/p>\n

Let the ratio in which they should be mixed be equal to X:1.<\/p>\n

Hence, the total volume of milk is $\\frac{7X}{9}+\\frac{9}{13}$
\nThe total volume of water is $\\frac{2X}{9}+\\frac{4}{13}$
\nThey are in the ratio 3:1<\/p>\n

Hence,\u00a0$\\frac{7X}{9}+\\frac{9}{13} = 3*(\\frac{2X}{9}+\\frac{4}{13})$
\nTherefore, $91X+81=78X+108$<\/p>\n

Therefore $X = \\frac{27}{13}$<\/p>\n

Question 5:\u00a0<\/b>Consider three mixtures \u2014 the first having water and liquid A in the ratio 1:2, the second having water and liquid B in the ratio 1:3, and the third having water and liquid C in the ratio 1:4.

a)\u00a0The same amount of water and liquid B<\/p>\n

b)\u00a0The same amount of liquids B and C<\/p>\n

c)\u00a0More water than liquid B<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

The proportion of water in the first mixture is $\\frac{1}{3}$
\nThe proportion of Liquid A in the first mixture is $\\frac{2}{3}$<\/p>\n

The proportion of water in the second mixture is $\\frac{1}{4}$
\nThe proportion of Liquid B in the second mixture is $\\frac{3}{4}$<\/p>\n

The proportion of water in the third mixture is $\\frac{1}{5}$
\nThe proportion of Liquid C in the third mixture is $\\frac{4}{5}$<\/p>\n

As they are mixed in the ratio 4:3:2, the final amount of water is $4 \\times \\frac{1}{3} + 3 \\times \\frac{1}{4} + 2 \\times \\frac{1}{5} = \\frac{149}{60}$
\nThe final amount of Liquid A in the mixture is $4\\times\\frac{2}{3} = \\frac{8}{3}$
\nThe final amount of Liquid B in the mixture is $3\\times\\frac{3}{4} = \\frac{9}{4}$
\nThe final amount of Liquid C in the mixture is $2\\times\\frac{4}{5} = \\frac{8}{5}$<\/p>\n

Hence, the ratio of Water : A : B : C in the final mixture is $\\frac{149}{60}:\\frac{8}{3}:\\frac{9}{4}:\\frac{8}{5} = 149:160:135:96$<\/p>\n

From the given choices, only option C \u00a0is correct.<\/p>\n

View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

The selling price of the mixture is Rs.40\/kg.
\nLet a be the price of 1 kg of tea A in the mixture and b be the price per kg of tea B.
\nIt has been given that the profit is 10% if the 2 varieties are mixed in the ratio 3:2
\nLet the cost price of the mixture be x.
\nIt has been given that 1.1x = 40
\nx = 40\/1.1
\nPrice per kg of the mixture in ratio 3:2 =\u00a0$\\frac{3a+2b}{5}\u00a0$
\n$\\frac{3a+2b}{5} = \\frac{40}{1.1}$
\n$3.3a+2.2b=200$ ——–(1)<\/p>\n

The profit is 5% if the 2 varieties are mixed in the ratio 2:3.
\nPrice per kg of the mixture in ratio 2:3 =\u00a0$\\frac{2a+3b}{5}$
\n$\\frac{2a+3b}{5} = \\frac{40}{1.05}$
\n$2.1a+3.15b=200$\u00a0——(2)<\/p>\n

Equating (1) and (2), we get,
\n$3.3a+2.2b = 2.1a+3.15b$
\n$1.2a=0.95b$
\n$\\frac{a}{b} = \\frac{0.95}{1.2}$
\n$\\frac{a}{b} = \\frac{19}{24}$<\/p>\n

Therefore, option C is the right answer.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

Let the price of paint B be x.
\nPrice of paint A = x+8<\/p>\n

We know that the amount of paint B in the mixture does not exceed the amount of paint A. Therefore, paint B can at the maximum compose 50% of the mixture.<\/p>\n

The seller sells 10 litres of paint at Rs.264 earning a profit of 10%.
\n=> The cost price of 10 litres of the paint mixture = Rs. 240<\/p>\n

Therefore, the cost of 1 litre of the mixture = Rs.24<\/p>\n

We have to find the highest possible cost of paint B.
\nWhen we increase the cost of paint B, the cost of paint A will increase too. If the cost price of the mixture is closer to the cost of paint B, then the amount of paint B present in the mixture should be greater than the amount of paint A present in the mixture.
\nThe highest possible cost of paint B will be obtained when the volumes of paint A and paint B in the mixture are equal.<\/p>\n

=> (x+x+8)\/2 = 24
\n2x = 40
\nx = Rs. 20<\/p>\n

Therefore, option\u00a0C is the right answer.<\/p>\n

Question 8:\u00a0<\/b>A 20% ethanol solution is mixed with another ethanol solution, say, S of unknown concentration in the proportion 1:3 by volume.

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

Let the volume of the first and the second solution be 100 and 300.
\nWhen they are mixed, quantity of ethanol in the mixture
\n= (20 + 300S)
\nLet this solution be mixed with equal volume i.e. 400 of third solution in which the strength of ethanol is 20%.
\nSo, the quantity of ethanol in the final solution
\n= (20 + 300S + 80) = (300S + 100)
\nIt is given that, 31.25% of 800 = (300S + 100)
\nor, 300S + 100 = 250
\nor S = $\\frac{1}{2}$ = 50%
\nHence, 50 is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

Question 9:\u00a0<\/b>A jar contains a mixture of 175 ml water and 700 ml alcohol. Gopal takes out 10% of the mixture and substitutes it by water of the same amount. The process is repeated once again. The percentage of water in the mixture is now<\/p>\n

View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

Final quantity of\u00a0alcohol in the mixture = $\\dfrac{700}{700+175}*(\\dfrac{90}{100})^2*[700+175]$ = 567 ml<\/p>\n

Therefore, final quantity of water in the mixture = 875 – 567 = 308 ml<\/p>\n

Hence, we can say that the percentage of water in the mixture = $\\dfrac{308}{875}\\times 100$ = 35.2 %<\/p>\n

Question 10:\u00a0<\/b>There are two drums, each containing a mixture of paints A and B. In drum 1, A and B are in the ratio 18 : 7.

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

It is given that in drum 1, A and B are in the ratio 18 : 7.<\/p>\n

Let us assume that in drum 2, A and B are in the ratio x : 1.<\/p>\n

It is given that\u00a0drums 1 and 2 are mixed in the ratio 3 : 4 and in this final mixture, A and B are in the ratio 13 : 7.<\/p>\n

By equating concentration of A<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $\\dfrac{3*\\dfrac{18}{18+7}+4*\\dfrac{x}{x+1}}{3+4} = \\dfrac{13}{13+7}$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $\\dfrac{54}{25}+\\dfrac{4x}{x+1} = \\dfrac{91}{20}$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $\\dfrac{4x}{x+1} = \\dfrac{239}{100}$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $x = \\dfrac{239}{161}$<\/p>\n

Therefore, we can say that in drum 2,\u00a0A and B are in the ratio $\\dfrac{239}{161}$ : 1 or 239 : 161.<\/p>\n

\n= (20 + 300S)
\nLet this solution be mixed with equal volume i.e. 400 of third solution in which the strength of ethanol is 20%.
\nSo, the quantity of ethanol in the final solution
\n= (20 + 300S + 80) = (300S + 100)
\nIt is given that, 31.25% of 800 = (300S + 100)

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

Let ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ be the concentration of salt in solutions A, B and C respectively.<\/p>\n

It is given that\u00a0three salt solutions A, B, C are mixed in the proportion 1 : 2 : 3, then the resulting solution has strength 20%.<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $\\dfrac{a+2b+3c}{1+2+3} = 20$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $a+2b+3c = 120$ … (1)<\/p>\n

If instead the proportion is 3 : 2 : 1, then the resulting solution has strength 30%.<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $\\dfrac{3a+2b+c}{1+2+3} = 30$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$\u00a0$3a+2b+c = 180$ … (2)<\/p>\n

From equation (1) and (2), we can say that<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $b+2c = 45$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $b = 45 – 2c$<\/p>\n

Also, on subtracting (1) from (2), we get<\/p>\n

$a – c = 30$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $a = 30 + c$<\/p>\n

In solution D, B and C are mixed in the ratio 2 : 7<\/p>\n

So, the concentration of salt in D = $\\dfrac{2b + 7c}{9}$ =\u00a0$\\dfrac{90 – 4c + 7c}{9}$ =\u00a0$\\dfrac{90 + 3c}{9}$<\/p>\n

Required ratio = $\\dfrac{90 + 3c}{9a}$ =\u00a0$\\dfrac{90 + 3c}{9 (30 + c)}$ = $1 : 3$<\/p>\n

Hence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

Each of three vessels A, B, C contains 500 ml of salt solution of strengths 10%, 22%, and 32%, respectively.<\/p>\n

The amount of salt in vessels A, B, C = 50 ml, 110 ml, 160 ml respectively.<\/p>\n

The amount of water in vessels A, B, C = 450 ml, 390 ml, 340 ml respectively.<\/p>\n

In 100 ml solution in vessel\u00a0A, there will be 10ml of salt and 90 ml of water<\/p>\n

Now, 100 ml of the solution in vessel A is transferred to vessel B. Then, 100 ml of the solution in vessel B is transferred to vessel C. Finally, 100 ml of the solution in vessel C is transferred to vessel A<\/p>\n

i.e after the first transfer, the amount of salt in vessels A, B, C = 40, 120, 160 ml respectively.<\/p>\n

after the second transfer, the amount of salt in vessels A, B, C =40, 100, 180 ml respectively.<\/p>\n

After the third transfer, the amount of salt in vessels A, B, C = 70, 100, 150 respectively.<\/p>\n

Each transfer can be captured through the following table.<\/p>\n

View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n

Initially the amount of Dye and Water are 16,24 respectively.<\/p>\n

To make the ratio of Dye to Water to 2:5 the amount of water should be 40l for 16l of Dye=> 16l of water is added.<\/p>\n

Now, the Dye and Water arr 16,40 respectively.<\/p>\n

After removing 1\/4th of solution the amount of Dye and Water will be 12,30l respectively.<\/p>\n

To have Dye and Water in the ratio of 2:3, for 30l of water we need 20l of Dye => 8l of Dye should be added.<\/p>\n

Hence , 8 is correct answer.<\/p>\n

The ratio in which we mix these two solutions to obtain a resultant solution of strength 21% :\u00a0$\\frac{A}{B}=\\frac{21-17}{33-21}=\\frac{4}{12}or\\ \\frac{1}{3}$<\/p>\n

Hence, three parts of the solution from Bottle\u00a0B is mixed with one part of the solution from Bottle A. For this process to happen, we need to displace 600 cc of solution from Bottle A and replace it with 600 cc of solution from Bottle B {since both bottles have 800 cc, three parts of this volume = 600cc}.As a result, 200 cc of the solution remains in Bottle B.<\/p>\n

Hence, the correct answer is 200 cc.<\/p>\n
