Solution:
20litre given remaining = 70-20 = 50litre
Quantity of milk = 50*70/100 = 35litre
Quantity of water = 50-35 = 15litre
20litres of water added = 50+20 = 70
% of milk = 35*100/70 =50%
A company is creating a new signature drink. They are using two alcoholic ingredients in the drink vodka and gin. They are using two non-alcoholic ingredients in the drink: orange juice and cranberry juice. The alcoholic ingredients contain 50% alcohol. The non-alcoholic ingredients contain no alcohol. How many litres of non-alcoholic ingredients must be added to 5 litres of alcoholic ingredients to produce a mixture that is 20% alcohol?
(5+x) (20%) = 5(50%) + x(0%)
(5+x) 0.2 = 5(0.5) + 0
1+0.2x = 2.5
X = 2.5-1/0.2 = 1.5/0.2 = 7.5
A can contains 30liter of juice, from this container 5litres of juice was taken out and replaced by water. This process was repeated further two times. How much juice is now contained by the container?
Quantity of milk in the final mixture = 30[1-(5/30)]3
= 30*(5/6) 3
= 30*125/216 = 17.36 liter = 17
Rani mixes 70kg of sugar worth Rs.28.50 per kg with 100kg of sugar worth Rs.30.50 per kg. At what rate shall he sell the mixture to gain 10% ?
70/100 = 100x – 30.50(110)/28.50(110)-100x
0.7 = 100x-3355/3135-100x
2194.5 – 70x = 100x-3355
170x = 5549.5
X = 32.64
90 litres of a mixture of milk and water contains 20% water. How much water should be added so that the mixture has 28% water ?
Quantity of water = 90*20/100 = 18
18+x/90+x = 28/100
1800+100x = 2520+28x
72x = 720
X = 10litres
The average weekly salary per head of the entire staff of a factory consisting ofsupervisors and the labourers is Rs. 55. The average salary per head of the supervisors is Rs. 300 and that of the labourers is Rs. 40. Given that the number of supervisors is 10, find the number of labourers in the factory.
40…………………………………..300
………………….55…………………….
245…………………………………15
(Number of labourers)/(Number of supervisors) = 245/15 = 16.33/1 = 16/1
16:1 = 160:10
A man travelled a distance of 40 km. in 5 hours partly on foot at the rate of 7 km per hour and partly on bicycle at 12 km. per hour. Find the distance travelled on foot ?
7……………………………………….12
…………………..40/5=8………………..
4………………………………………..1
Time taken on foot /Time taken on bicycle = 4:1
Distance travelled on foot = 4*7 = 28km
Milk contains 15% water. What quantity of pure milk should be added to 50 litres of milk to reduce the quantity of water to 12% ?
Ans: 50*15/100 = (50+x)*12/100
7.5 *100 = 600+12x
12x = 150
X = 150/12 = 12.5litre
Dhal worth Rs. 110 per kg and Rs. 95 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1:1:2. If the mixture is worth Rs. 115 per kg, the price of the third variety per kg will be
1st two type of Dhal = 110+95/2 = 102.5
102.5…………………………………..X
……………..115……………………….
x-115……………………………………12.5
x-115 = 12.5
x = 127.5
A zookeeper counted the heads of the animals in a zoo and found it to be 100. When he counted the legs of the animals he found it to be 340. If the zoo had either pigeons or elephants, how many pigeons were there in the zoo?
total number of legs = 4x + 2(100-x) = 340
4x + 200 – 2x = 340
2x = 140
x = 70
P = 100-70 =30
