The given number series is 5, 8, 40, 90, 664

5

5 - 1 x 2 = 8

8 - 3 x 4 = 20 (NOT 40)

20 - 5 x 6 = 90

Q:

Statement :

The byproducts obtained from animals such as hairs, skins, horns, etc. contain at least 45 per cent food protein. Indian scientists have developed methods to segregate 50 per cent of this protein. They have used an enzyme developed in Russia for destruction of soya-proteins.

Conclusions:

A. Indian scientists cannot develop enzymes.

B. If a suitable method involving less cost is developed then many more food protein would be obtained.

A) Only A follows B) Only B follows
C) Neither A nor B follows D) Both A & B follows
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Neither A nor B follows

Explanation:

There is no indication that Indian scientists are incapable of developing enzymes. There could be any number of reasons why Indian scientists used Russian enzymes.

So conclusion A does not follow.

In addition, cost is not discussed in the passage at all. There is no mention of a correlation between cost and extraction of proteins.

Thus, conclusion B does not follow either.

Q:

A vessel contains 20 liters of a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 3:2. 10 liters of the mixture are removed and replaced with an equal quantity of pure milk. If the process is repeated once more, find the ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained ?

A) 5:3 B) 1:4
C) 4:1 D) 9:1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 9:1

Explanation:

Milk = 3/5 x 20 = 12 liters, water = 8 liters

 

If 10 liters of mixture are removed, amount of milk removed = 6 liters and amount of water removed = 4 liters.

 

Remaining milk = 12 - 6 = 6 liters

Remaining water = 8 - 4 = 4 liters

 

10 liters of pure milk are added, therefore total milk = (6 + 10) = 16 liters.

 

The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 16:4 = 4:1

 

If the process is repeated one more time and 10 liters of the mixture are removed,
then amount of milk removed = 4/5 x 10 = 8 liters.

 

Amount of water removed = 2 liters.

 

Remaining milk = (16 - 8) = 8 liters.

Remaining water = (4 -2) = 2 liters.

 

Now 10 lts milk is added => total milk = 18 lts

 

The required ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained

 

= (8 + 10):2 = 18:2 = 9:1.
