Q:

A garrison of 2000 men has provisions for 54 days. At the end of 15 days, a reinforcement arrives, and it is now found that the provisions will last only for 20 days more. What is the reinforcement ?

A) 1900 B) 2100
C) 1700 D) 2000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1900

Explanation:

Given 2000 ---- 54 days

The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days.

i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days

=> m x 20 = 2000 x 39

m = 3900

So total men for 20 days is 3900

=> 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement.

Hence, reinforcement = 1900.

Q:

A mixture of 70 litres of Fruit Juice and water contains 10% water. How many litres of water should be added to the mixture so that the mixture contains 12.5% water   ?

A) 2 lit B) 4 lit
C) 1 lit D) 3 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2 lit

Explanation:

Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.

 

After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.

 

Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72 

 

Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.
