ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION

1. Answer: E x = 12
Let the initial quantity of milk and water in the The initial quantity of mixture in the vessel = 5 *
vessel be 2x and 3x respectively. 12 = 60 litres
The initial quantity of mixture in the vessel = 2x +
3x = 5x litres 2. Answer: D
(2x – 10 * 2/5)/(3x – 10 * 3/5 + 10) = 1/2 Milk in vessel = 240 * 5/8 = 150 liters
(2x – 4)/(3x – 6 + 10) = 1/2 Water in vessel = 240 * 3/8 = 90 liters
(2x – 4)/(3x + 4) = 1/2 Required ratio = (150 + 30): 90
4x – 8 = 3x + 4 = 180:90

= 2:1 50 – 5a + 30 = 60
80 – 5a = 60
3. Answer: D 20 = 5a
11x + 24 = 156 a=4
11x = 132 y = 12a = 48
x = 12 (70 – 28)/50– 20 = x/10
Initial quantity of water = 8 * 12 = 96 liters 42/30 = x/10
x = 14
4. Answer: B The ratio (x+5):y = 14 + 5 :48 = 19:48
The ratio of quantity of milk to water in the mixture Hence the required ratio is 19:48
= (100-20):20 = 80:20 = 4:1
The quantity of water in the mixture= 24 * 1/4 = 6 6. Answer: C
liters Milk in the initial mixture = 300 * 2/(2 + 1) = 300 *
[24 – (15 * 4/(4 + 1)) + (x – 3)]/[6 – (15 * 1/(4 + 1)) 2/3 = 200 liters
+ x] = 9/7 Water in the initial mixture = 300 – 200 = 100
[24 – (15 * 4/5) + (x – 3)]/[6 – (15 * 1/5) + x] = 9/7 liters
[24 – 12 + x – 3] * 7 = 9 * [6 – 3 + x] (200 – x * 2/(2 + 1))/(100 – x * 1/(2 + 1) + x) = 7/8
63 + 7x = 27 + 9x (200 – 2x/3)/(100 – x/3 + x) = 7/8
x = 36/2 = 18 1600 – 16x/3 = 700 – 7x/3 + 7x
7x - 7x/3 + 16x/3 = 900
5. Answer: A 21x – 7x + 16x = 900 * 3
The ratio of milk to water in initial mixture = 7:5 x = 2700/30
Initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 120 * 7/12 = x = 90
70
Initial quantity of water in the mixture = 120 * 5/12 7. Answer: C
= 50 Let, the quantity of milk in the mixture initially = 4x
The quantity of water in another mixture = 108 * liters
5/18 = 30 The quantity of water in the mixture initially = 3x
The quantity of juice in another mixture = 108 – liters
30 = 78 According to the question,
Let the quantity of mixture is removed from the 4x/(3x + 5) = 1/1
initial mixture be 12a 4x = 3x + 5
(50 – 12a * 5/12 + 30)/78 = 10/13 x=5

The initial quantity of soda in the mixture = 85 *
8. Answer: E 2/5 = 34 litres
Milk in the initial mixture = 70 * 3/10 = 21 liters The initial quantity of water in the mixture = 85 –
Water in the initial mixture = 70 – 21 = 49 liters 34 = 51 litres
(21 + x)/(49 + 56) = 3/5 The final quantity of soda in the mixture = 34 – 35
21 + x = 105 * 3/5 * 2/5 + 15 = 35 litres

x = 42 According to the question,
2.5M + 10 + 5M-4 = 156
9. Answer: D 7.5M + 6 = 156
(x + 80 + 60)/(x + x/2) = 125/100 M = 150/7.5
(x + 140)/(3x/2) = 5/4 M = 20litres
8 * (x + 140) = 15x The quantity of water in the mixture= 2.5M + 10 =
15x – 8x = 1120 2.5 * 20 + 10 = 60litres
x = 1120/7 The quantity of milk in the mixture= 5M-4 = 5 *
x = 160 20-4 = 96litres
The initial quantity of mixture in the vessel = 160 The ratio of milk to water in the initial mixture =
+ 80 + 160 = 400 liters 96:60 = 8:5
Let the quantity of water added be c litres.
10. Answer: D (96 – (52 * 8/13))/ (60 – (52 * 5/13) + c) = 4/3
Let the water in the vessel initially = x (96 – 32)/ (60 – 20 + c) = 4/3
And the milk in the vessel initially = x+64 64/(40 + c) = 4/3
(x+64+56)/(x+48) = 3/2 192 = 160 + 4c
(x+120)*2 = (x+48)*3 4c = 32
2x+240 = 3x+144 c=8
x = 96 The quantity of water added, c = 8 liters
The quantity of water in the vessel initially =
