Q:

Three graziers A,B and C rent a piece of pasture for a month. A puts in 27 cattle for 19 days, B 21 for 17 days and C 24 for 23 days. If at the end of the month the rent amount to Rs.237, how much ought to be paid by each.

Answer

A's cattle = 27 x 19 = 513


B's cattle = 21 x 17 = 357


C's cattle = 24 x 23 = 552


Ratio of cattle = 513 : 357 : 552


                    = 171 : 119 : 184


 


payment to be made by A = \inline 237\times \frac{171}{474}


                                     = Rs.85.50


payment to be made by B = \inline 237\times \frac{119}{474}


                                     = Rs.59.50


payment to be made by C = \inline 237\times \frac{184}{474}


                                     = Rs.92

Q:

640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water ?

A) 360 ml B) 320 ml
C) 310 ml D) 330 ml
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 320 ml

Explanation:

Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts.

1part = 640/8 = 80

 

old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2).

 

To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same.

i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Wednesday

Explanation:

9th May, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 9.5.2001)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

Jan. Feb. March April May 

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 9) = 129 days

129 days = (18 weeks + 3 day)= 3 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 3 ) = 3 odd day.

Given day is Wednesday.
