Work done by B and C in 1 hour = 1/3
Work done by A and C in 1 hour = 1/2
Work done by A,B and C in 1 hour = 1/4 + 1/3 = 7/12
Work done by B in 1 hour = 7/12 – 1/2 = 1/12
=> B alone can complete the work in 12 hours

Question 9

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	9 : 1
B	4 : 7
C	7 : 1
D	2 : 5

Question 9 Explanation:

Milk = 3/5 * 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 * 10 = 8 liters
Amount of water removed = 2 liters
Remaining milk = (16 - 8) = 8 liters
Remaining water = (4 -2) = 2 liters
The required ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained = (8 + 10):2 = 18:2 = 9:1

Question 10

A train 360 m long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. In what time will it pass a bridge 140 m long?

A	40 sec
B	42 sec
C	45 sec
D	48 sec

Question 10 Explanation:

Formula for converting from km/hr to m/s: Xkm/hr = (X * 5 / 18) m/sec
Therefore, Speed = (45 * 5 /18) m/sec
= 25/2 m/sec
Total distance to be covered = (360 + 140) m = 500 m
Formula for finding Time = (Distance / Speed)
Required time = (500 x 2 / 25)sec = 40 sec

Question 11

217 x 217 + 183 x 183 = ?

A	79698
B	80578
C	80698
D	81268

Question 11 Explanation:

(217)²+(183)²= (200 + 17)² + (200 - 17)²
= 2 x [(200)² + (17)²] [Ref: (a + b)² + (a - b)² = 2(a² + b²)]
= 2[40000 + 289]
= 2 x 40289
= 80578

Question 12

A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs.6500 for 6 months, B Rs.8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months.

Question 12 Explanation:

A: B: C = (6500*6) : (8400*5) : (10000*3)
= 13: 14:10
8% goes to A
Of the remaining 92%, B’s share = 0.92*7400*14/37 = Rs. 2576

p = 13000
Principal = 78000 – 13000 = Rs. 65000
