Required ratio=(80 + 40 + 50):(70 + 60 + 100)

=170:230

=17:23

5) Answer: B

Required ratio=(200 + 100 + 250):(200 + 150 + 100)

=550:450

=11:9

Directions (6-10) :

6) Answer: B

CP of mobile =2x

CP of laptop=x

MP of mobile=5/4 * 2x=5x/2

MP of laptop=5/6 * x=5x/6

MP – SP=Discount

5x/2 – 6000=1200

x =2880

MP of laptop=5/6 * 2880=2400

Discount amount of laptop=2400 – 1000=1400

7) Answer: A

Speed of the boat in still water=x

Speed of the stream=y

Boat along with current=downstream speed=x + y

Boat against with current=upstream speed=x – y

(x + y + x – y)/2=20

2x=40

x =20 kmph

x + y – (x – y)=20

x + y – x + y=20

2y=20

y =10 kmph

Required ratio=10:20=1:2

8) Answer: E

From option (A)

Let 30 liters of the mixture is sold.

Milk in 30 liters=30 * 3/5=18 liters

Water in 30 liters=30 * 2/5=12 liters

(3x – 18)/(2x – 12 + 30)=1/4

(3x – 18)/(2x + 18)=1/4

2x + 18=12x – 72

10x=90

x =9

Initial quantity of the milk=3 * 9=27 liters

This not satisfied.

From option (B)

Let 20 liters of the mixture is sold.

Milk in 20 liters=3/5 * 20=12 liters

Water in 20 liters=2/5 * 20=8 liters

(3x – 12)/(2x – 8 + 20)=1/4

12x – 48=2x + 12

10x = 60

x =6 liters

Initial quantity of the milk=6 * 3=18 liters

This satisfied.

From option (C)

Let 25 liters of the mixture is sold.

Milk in 25 liters=3/5 * 25=15 liters

Water in 25 liters=2/5 * 25=10 liters

(3x – 15)/(2x – 10 + 25) =1/4

12x – 60=2x + 15

10x=75

x =7.5

Initial quantity of the milk=7.5 * 3=22.5

This not satisfied.

From option (D)

Let 20 liters of the mixture is sold.

Milk in 20 liters=3/5 * 20=12

Water in 20 liters=2/5 * 20=8

(3x – 12)/(2x – 8 + 20) =1/4

12x – 48=2x + 12

10x=60

x =6

Initial quantity of the milk=6 * 3=18 liters

This not satisfied.

9) Answer: C

Average weight of the male=x

Average weight of the female=y

x + y =118

(y – 57)/(57 – x) =1/2

2y – 114=57 – x

x + 2y=171 ———-(1)

x + y=118 ———–(2)

(1) – (2)

y =53 kg

x=65 kg

Initial number of males=n

Average weight of the boys=65 + 1=66

(65n + 69)/(n + 1)=66

65n + 69=66n + 66

n =3

Number of employees in a company=3n=3 * 3=9

10) Answer: C

(9m + 15w) * 6=(12m + 30 w) * 4

54m + 90w=48m + 120w

30w=6m

5w=m

c =2w

9m + 3m=1/6

12 men complete the work in:

12m=1/6

12 men complete the work in = 6 days

m =1/72

w=1/360

c=1/180

4 children and 2 women together can complete work in:

4c + 2w=4/180 + 2/360

=10/360=1/36

4 children and 2 women together can complete work in = 36 days

One man, one woman and one child complete the work in:

m + w + c=1/72 + 1/360 + 1/180

= (5 + 1 + 2)/360

=1/45

One man, one woman and one child complete the work in = 45 days

6 children can complete the work in:

6c=6/180=1/30

6 children can complete the work in = 30 days
