Answers:                    

1).a)  2).b)  3).d)  4).b)  5).a)  6).b)  7).d)  8).c)  9).d) 10). b)

1).Let quantities of milk and water in the mixture be 3x and 2x. Then if 4 litres of water is added to the mixture the ratio of milk and water become 1:1.

It can be written as (3x): (2x + 4) = 1/1

Thus, 3x = 2x +4

            x = 4

Therefore, the milk in the mixture is 4x3 = 12 litres and quantity of water = 4x2 = 8 liters

Answer: a)

2).Work done by A in one day = 1/5 and work done by B in one day = 1/7

They are working alternately.

Therefore, Work done in first two day = (1/5 + 1/7) =   12/35

Work done in first four day = 24/35

Work done in first 5 days     = 24/35 + 1/5 = 31/35

Remaining work =       4/35

Day it will take B to complete = 4/35/1/7 = 4/5 of the day.

Therefore Total days taken = 5 + 4/5 = 29/5 days

Answer: b)

3).Let the income be 3x and 2x. It is given that the saving of each is Rs. 2000.

Then, their expenditures are 3x – 2000 and 2x – 2000

Again,  (3x – 2000)/(2x – 2000) = 5/3

 => 3(3x – 2000) = 5(2x – 2000)

 => 9x – 6000    = 10x – 10000

 => 9x -10x        = -10000+ 6000

 =>      -x = -4000

  =>        x = 4000

Therefore, their salaries are 3 x 4000 = 12000 and 2 x 4000 = 8000

Answer: d)

4).Let the two numbers be 3x and 4x.

When they are increased by 9 they become 3x + 9 and 4x + 9.

It is given that the ratio is 18:23

Thus,   3x + 9/4x + 9 = 18:23

  23(3x + 9)     = 18(4x + 9)

  69x + 207     = 72x + 162

  69x – 72x = 162- 207

   -3x = -45

  Thus two numbers are 3x15 = 45 and 4 x 15 = 60

And the sum is 60+45 = 105

Answer: b)

5).Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b

Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10

=> 6m + 8b = 1/10

=> 60m + 80b = 1 --- (1)

Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2

=> 26m + 48b = ½

=> 52m + 96b = 1--- (2)

Solving equation 1 and equation 2, We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200

Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day

= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4

=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days

Answer: a)

6).Export of Diamond in March

= 8% of 40 = 3.2 billion

Now, Export of Diamond in April

= 8% of 33 = 2.64 billion

Number of times = 3.2/2.64 = 1.212 times

Answer: b)

7).Total export of Cotton in the given period = 35% of (40 + 33 + 34 + 32 + 38 + 39)

= 35% of 216 = 75.6 billion

Average export of Cotton

= 75.6/6 = 12.6 billions

Answer: d)

8).Export of Rice and Cotton in August

= 65% of 39 = 25.35 billion

Total export in the other three sectors

= 35% of 39 = 13.65 billion

Required per cent = 25.35/13.65 × 100

= 185.714 = 186%

Answer: c)

9).There is no data available for previous year, so we can’t find the solution.

Answer: d)

10).Export of Sugar in July = 14% of 38 = 5.32 billion

Now, export of Iron in April = 13% of 33 = 4.29 billion

% increase = (5.32 - 4.29)/4.29 × 100

= 1.03 × 100 / 4.29 = 24.009 = 24%.

Answer: b)
