Q:

The concentration of glucose in three different mixtures (glucose and alcohol) is 12,35 and 45 respectively. If 2 litres, 3 litres and 1 litre are taken from these three different vessels and mixed. What is the ratio of glucose and alcohol in the new mixture? 

A) 3:2 B) 4:3
C) 2:3 D) 3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3:2

Explanation:

Concentration of glucose are in the ratio = 12:35:45

Quantity of glucose taken from A = 1 liter out of 2

Quantity of glucose taken from B = 3/5 x 3 = 1.5 lit

Quantity of glucose taken from C = 0.8 lit

So, total quantity of glucose taken from A,B and C = 3.6 lit

So, quantity of alcohol = (2 + 3 + 1) - 3.6 = 2.4 lit

Ratio of glucose to alcohol = 3.6/2.4 = 3:2

Q:

Four person A, B, C and D. The sum of their present age is 176. Four years ago ratio of their age was 11: 9 : 6 : 14, then find who is eldest and youngest among them ?

A) A is eldest & C is youngest B) D is eldest & C is youngest
C) C is eldest & A is youngest D) A is eldest & B is youngest
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) D is eldest & C is youngest

Explanation:

Given sum of present ages of A, B, C & D

A + B + C + D = 176

and also given that,

(A-4) : (B-4) : (C-4) : (D-4) = 11 : 9 : 6 : 14

Let the ratio = x

=> A-4 + B-4 + C-4 + D-4 = 11x + 9x + 6x + 14x

=> (A + B + C + D ) - 16 = 40x

=> 176 - 16 = 40x

=> x = 4

=> A = 44 + 4 = 48

=> B = 40

=> C = 28

=> D = 60

Therefore, from the above conclusions

D is eldest with 60 years and C is youngest with 28 years of ages.

Q:

A single pipe of diameter x has to be replaced by six pipes of diameters 12 cm each. The pipes are used to covey some liquid in a laboratory. If the speed/flow of the liquid is maintained the same then the value of x is ?

A) 14.69 cm B) 29.39 cm
C) 18.65 cm D) 22.21 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 29.39 cm

Explanation:

Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms.

 

As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same. 

 

Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12 

i.e πR2 = 6πR12   

Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6   

R2 = 6×6×6   

R = 14.696   

=> D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.
