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.
Wine Water 8L 32L 1 : 4 20 % 80% (original ratio) 30 % 70% (required ratio) In ths case, the percentage of water being reduced when the mixture is being replaced with wine. so the ratio of left quantity to the initial quantity is 7:8 Therefore , 7 8 = 1 - K 40 => K = 5 Lit
Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11 Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11, Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12 Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml
Total no.of boys : no. of girls = 13:27 27 : 13
Total quantity of mixture = 75 litre Milk : Water = 4 : 1 3 : 1
By the rule of alligation:Cost of 1 kg rice of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg rice of 2nd kind Required ratio = 60 : 90 = 2 : 3
W 1 : A 1 W 2 : A 2 . . . . . W N : A N 2 : 3 4 : 5 5 : 7 W 1 W 1 + A 1 = 2 5 W 2 W 2 + A 2 = 4 9 W N W N + A N = 5 12 = 72/180 = 80/180 = 75/180 => 5 : 3 Therefore, the ratio is 5: 3
Let quantity of mixture be x liters. Suppose a container contains x units of liquid from which y units are taken out and replaced by Water. After operations , the quantity of pure liquid = x 1 - y x n units, Where n = no of operations . So, Quantity of Milk = x 1 - 6 x 2 Given that, Milk : Water = 9 : 16 => Milk : (Milk + Water) = 9 : (9+16) => Milk : Mixture = 9 : 25 Therefore, x 1 - 6 x 2 x = 9 25 => x = 15 liters
Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36 Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3 Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35 Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15
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.
