Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
1) Answer: c)
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture A = 7/12 x 60 = 35 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture A = 5/12 x 60 = 25 litres
Let, the amount of milk added to the remaining mixture A = n litres
(35 + n)/(25 + 5) = 3/2
=> 2 x (35 + n) = 3 x 30
=> 70 + 2n = 90
=> 2n = 90 – 70
=> 2n = 20
=> n = 20/2
=> n = 10 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture A = 35 + 10 = 45 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture B = 5/9 x 81 = 45 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture B = 4/9 x 81 = 36 litres
Let the amount of water added to the remaining mixture B = k litres
(45 + 5)/(36 + k) = 5/4
=> 4 x 50 = 5 x (36 + k)
=> 200 = 180 + 5k
=> 5k = 200 – 180
=> 5k = 20
=> k = 4 litres
Quantity of water in the final mixture B = 36 + 4 = 40 litres
Required percentage = 45/40 x 100 = 112.5%
2) Answer: c)
Remaining mixture C = 96 – 24 = 72 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture C = 5/8 x 72 = 45 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture C = 3/8 x 72 = 27 litres
Let the amount of milk added to the remaining mixture = l litres
(45 + l)/(27 + 3) = 2/1
=> 45 + l = 2 x 30
=> l = 60 – 45
=> l = 15 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture C = 45 + 15 = 60 litres
Remaining mixture D = 78 – 39 = 39 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture D = 7/13 x 39 = 21 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture D = 6/13 x 39 = 18 litres
Let, the amount of water added to the remaining mixture D = m litres
(21 + 9)/(18 + m) = 3/2
=> 2 x 30 = 3 x (18 + m)
=> 60 = 54 + 3m
=> 3m = 60 – 54
=> 3m = 6
=> m = 2
Amount of water in the final mixture D = 18 + 2 = 20 litres
Required ratio = 60: 20 = 3:1
3) Answer: b)
Amount of milk in the remaining mixture E = 4/7 x 28 = 16 litres
Amount of water in the remaining mixture E = 3/7 x 28 = 12 litres
Let the amount of milk added to the remaining mixture E = p litres
(16 + p)/(12 + 8) = 3/2
=> 2 x (16 + p) = 20 x 3
=> 32 + 2p = 60
=> 2p = 60 – 32
=> 2p = 28
=> p = 28/2
=> p = 14 litres
Amount of milk in the final mixture E = 16 + 14 = 30 litres
Amount of water in the final mixture E = 12 + 8 = 20 litres
Total amount of final mixture E = 30 + 20 = 50 litres
Amount of milk in mixture H = 30 x 120/100 = 36 litres
Amount of water in mixture H = 20 x 140/100 = 28 litres
Total amount of mixture H = 36 + 28 = 64 litres
Required difference = 64 – 50 = 14 litres
4) Answer: c)
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture A = 7/12 x 60 = 35 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture A = 5/12 x 60 = 25 litres
Let, the amount of milk added to the remaining mixture A = n litres
(35 + n)/(25 + 5) = 3/2
=> 2 x (35 + n) = 3 x 30
=> 70 + 2n = 90
=> 2n = 90 – 70
=> 2n = 20
=> n = 20/2
=> n = 10 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture A = 35 + 10 = 45 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture B = 5/9 x 81 = 45 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture B = 45 + 5 = 50 litres
Remaining mixture C = 96 – 24 = 72 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture C = 5/8 x 72 = 45 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture C = 3/8 x 72 = 27 litres
Let the amount of milk added to the remaining mixture = l litres
(45 + l)/(27 + 3) = 2/1
=> 45 + l = 2 x 30
=> l = 60 – 45
=> l = 15 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture C = 45 + 15 = 60 litres
Remaining mixture D = 78 – 39 = 39 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture D = 7/13 x 39 = 21 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture D = 21 + 9 = 30 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture E = 4/7 x 28 = 16 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture E = 3/7 x 28 = 12 litres
Let the amount of milk added to the remaining mixture E = p litres
(16 + p)/(12 + 8) = 3/2
=> 2 x (16 + p) = 20 x 3
=> 32 + 2p = 60
=> 2p = 60 – 32
=> 2p = 28
=> p = 28/2
=> p = 14 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture E = 16 + 14 = 30 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture F = 15/31 x 93 = 45 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture F = 45 + 5 = 50 litres
Remaining mixture G = 136 – 34 = 102 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture G = 9/17 x 102 = 54 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture G = 8/17 x 102 = 48 litres
Let the amount of milk added to remaining mixture G = y litres
(54 + y)/(48 + 2) = 6/5
=> (54 + y)/50 = 6/5
=> 5 x (54 + y) = 300
=> 270 + 5y = 300
=> 5y = 30
=> y = 6
Quantity of milk in the final mixture G = 54 + 6 = 60 litres
Required sum = 45 + 50 + 60 + 30 + 30 + 50 + 60 = 325 litres
5) Answer: b)
Remaining mixture G = 136 – 34 = 102 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture G = 9/17 x 102 = 54 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture G = 8/17 x 102 = 48 litres
Let the amount of milk added to remaining mixture G = y litres
(54 + y)/(48 + 2) = 6/5
=> (54 + y)/50 = 6/5
=> 5 x (54 + y) = 300
=> 270 + 5y = 300
=> 5y = 30
=> y = 6
Quantity of milk in the final mixture G = 54 + 6 = 60 litres
Quantity of milk in mixture K = 60 x 125/100 = 75 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture C = 3/8 x 72 = 27 litres
Quantity of water in the final mixture C = 27 + 3 = 30 litres
Quantity of water in mixture K = 30 x 90/100 = 27 litres
Total quantity of mixture K = 75 + 27 = 102 litres
Milk: water = 75:27 = 25:9
Remaining quantity of mixture K = 102 – 34 = 68 litres
Quantity of milk in the remaining mixture K = 25/34 x 68 = 50 litres
Quantity of water in the remaining mixture K = 9/34 x 68 = 18 litres
Quantity of milk in the final mixture K = 50 + 10 = 60 litres
Quantity of water in the final mixture K = 18 + 12 = 30 litres
Required difference = 60 – 30 = 30 litres
Directions (6 – 10):
Monday:
Ratio of downstream speed to upstream speed = 150: 100
= 3: 2
If the downstream speed is increased by 10 km/hr, then the boat takes 3 hours to cover 120 km.
Downstream speed = 3x + 10
According to the statement,
120/(3x+10) = 3
120 = 3*(3x + 10)
40 = 3x + 10
= > 3x = 30
= > x = 10 km/hr
Downstream speed = 3*10 = 30 km/hr
Upstream speed = 2*10 = 20 km/hr
Speed of the boat = ½ * (Downstream speed + Upstream speed)
= ½ *(30 + 20)
= ½ * 50 = 25 km/hr
Speed of the stream = ½ * (Downstream speed – Upstream speed)
= ½ * (30 – 20)
= ½ * 10 = 5 km/hr
Tuesday:
Ratio of the speed of the boat to speed of the stream = x: 1/4*x
= 4: 1
Downstream speed = 150/5 = 30 km/hr
Downstream speed = (4x + x) = 5x = 30 km/hr
= > x = 30/5 = 6 km/hr
Upstream speed = (4x – x) = 3x = 3 * 6 = 18 km/hr
Speed of the boat = ½ * (Downstream speed + Upstream speed)
= ½ * (30 + 18)
= ½ * 48 = 24 km/hr
Speed of the stream = ½*(Downstream speed – Upstream speed)
= ½ * (30 – 18)
= ½ * 12 = 6 km/hr
Wednesday:
Ratio of downstream speed to upstream speed = 200: 100 = 2: 1
Downstream speed = 200/5 = 40 km/hr
Upstream speed = 40/2 * 1 = 20 km/hr
Speed of the boat = ½ * (Downstream speed + Upstream speed)
= ½* (40 + 20)
= ½ * 60 = 30 km/hr
Speed of the stream = ½*(Downstream speed – Upstream speed)
= ½ * (40 – 20)
= ½ * 20 = 10 km/hr
Thursday:
Ratio of the speed of the boat to speed of the stream = x: 1/3*x
= 3: 1
Downstream speed = (3x +x) = 4x
Upstream speed = (3x – x) = 2x
Downstream speed – Upstream speed = 4x – 2x = 10 km/hr
2x = 10
= > x = 5 km/hr
Downstream speed = 5 * 4 = 20 km/hr
Upstream speed = 2 * 5 = 10 km/hr
Speed of the boat = 3x = 15 km/hr
Speed of the stream = x = 5 km/hr
Friday:
Ratio of the speed of the boat to the speed of the stream = 2: 1
Speed of the stream = 20 km/hr
Speed of the boat = 20/1 * 2 = 40 km/hr
Downstream speed = (Speed of the boat + Speed of the stream)
= (40 + 20) = 60 km/hr
Upstream speed = (Speed of the boat – Speed of the stream)
= (40 – 20) = 20 km/hr
6) Answer: d)
Speed of boat on Saturday = 50/100 *(25 + 15)
= 40/2 = 20 km/hr
Speed of the stream on Wednesday = 2*5 = 10 km/hr
Upstream speed = 20 – 10 = 10 km/hr
Total upstream distance covered by all the given boat in 5 days
= (20 + 18 + 20 + 10 + 20)*5
= 88*5 = 440 km
Average of upstream distance covered by all the boat in 5 hours in all 5 days together
= 440/5 = 88 km
Required time = 88/10 = 8.8 hours
7) Answer: b)
New speed of boat on Wednesday = 120/100 * 30
= 36 km/hr
New speed of stream on Wednesday = 120/100 * 10
= 12 km/hr
Downstream speed = 36 + 12 = 48 km/hr
Upstream speed = 36 – 12 = 24 km/hr
From I,
Total time taken by boat on Wednesday = 200/40 + 100/20
= 5 + 5 = 10 hours
New total time taken by boat on Wednesday = 200/48 + 100/24
= (400/48) = 25/3 hours
Required percentage = [(10 – 25/3) / 10] * 100 = 50/3 %
Hence, statement I alone is sufficient to answer the given question.
From II,
From statement II, we don’t have any other information about total distance covered by boat initially.
Hence, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the given question.
8) Answer: b)
Quantity I: Total upstream distance covered by all the given boat in all the 5 days together in 10 hours.
Total upstream distance in all the given 5 days
= 10 *(20+18+20+10+20)
= 10*88 = 880 km
Quantity II: Total downstream distance covered by all the given boat in all the 5 days together in 5 hours.
Total downstream distance in all the given 5 days
= 5 * (30+30+40+20+60)
= 5 * 180
= 900 km
Hence, Quantity I < Quantity II
9) Answer: e)
Speed of the boat on Sunday = 50/100 * (24 + 40) = 32 km/hr
Speed of the stream on Sunday = ½ * 20 = 10 km/hr
Downstream speed = 32 + 10 = 42 km/hr
Upstream speed = 32 – 10 = 22 km/hr
Average speed = 2 * 42 * 22/(42 + 22)
= 231/8 km/hr
10) Answer: b)
Quantity I: Average speed of the boat on Friday is what percentage more/less than the average speed of the boat on Monday?
Average speed of the boat on Friday
= 2 * 60 * 20/(60 + 20)
= 2400/80
= 30 km/hr
Average speed of the boat on Monday
= 2 * 30 * 20/(30 + 20)
= 24 km/hr
Required percentage
= [(30 – 24)/24] * 100
= 25%
Quantity II: Average speed of the boat on Tuesday is what percentage more/less than the average speed of the boat on Thursday?
Average speed of the boat on Tuesday
= 2 * 30 * 18/(30 + 18)
= 22.5 km/hr
Average speed of the boat on Thursday
= 2 * 20*10/(20+10)
= 400/30 = 40/3 km/hr
Required percentage = [(22.5 – 40/3)/(40/3)] * 100
= [(27.5*3)/(40*3)] * 100
= 68.75%
Hence, Quantity I < Quantity II
