Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 1

A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 2 : 3 and the other contains them in the ratio 3 : 1 respectively. What weight of 2nd mixture must be taken so as to make a third mixture 7 litres in weight with 70% milk?

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 1

C) 6 litres Explanation: 70/100 = 7/10
Milk in first = 2/(2+3) = 2/5, milk in second = 3/(3+1) = 3/4 By method of allegation: 2/5                                3/4
.                  7/10
3/4 – 7/10               7/10 – 2/5
1/20 : 3/10
1 : 6
So in 3rd mixture, 2nd mixture is [6/(1+6)] * 7 = 6 litres

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 2

How many kg of wheat costing Rs 8 per kg must be mixed with 8 Kg of wheat costing Rs 12 per Kg, so that there may be gain of 20% by selling the mixture of Rs 11.52 per Kg?

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 2

D) 12 kg Explanation: With 20% gain and SP = 11.52, CP = (100/120)*11.52 = 9.6 By method of allegation: 1st wheat (x kg)                2nd wheat (8 kg) 8                                                12
.                             9.6
12-9.6                                        9.6-8
2.4 1.6
3 : 2
So x/8 = 3/2

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 3

15 litres of the milk is drawn out of a jar and filled with water. This operation is performed 1 more times. If the ratio of the quantity of milk left in jar to that of water in jar is 16 : 9, what was the initial quantity of milk present in the jar?

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 3

E) 75 litres Explanation: Let initial quantity of milk = x litres After two times, quantity of milk left in jar = x [1 – 15/x] So x [1 – 15/x] / x = 16/16+9 [1 – 15/x] = 16/25 Square root both sides, so [1 – 15/x] = 4/5 Solve, x = 75

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 4

Wheat worth Rs 30 per kg and Rs 42 per kg are mixed with a third variety of wheat in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2 respectively. The mixture is worth Rs 42 per kg. Find the price (per kg) of the third variety of wheat.

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 4

B) Rs 48 Explanation: Since 1st and 2nd wheat mixed in equal ratio, their average price = (30+42)/2 = 72/2 = Rs 36 Let 3rd variety of wheat be Rs x per kg So they are mixed as : (1+1) : 2 = 1 : 1 So 36                              x .                 42
x-42                     42-36=6 so x-42/6 = 1/1 solve, x = 48

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 5

 A mixture contains A and B in the ratio 5 : 9. 14 litres of this mixture is taken out and 14 litres of B is poured in. Now the ratio of A to B becomes 2 : 5. Find the amount of B originally present in the mixture.

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 5

B) 45 litres Explanation: Total = 5x+9x+14 = 14x+14 So 5x/9x+14 = 2/5 Solve, x = 4 So total = 14*4 + 14 = 70 litres So B = 9/(5+9) * 70 = 45

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 6

 A mixture contains A and B in the ratio 5 : 7. 24 litres of this mixture is taken out and 15 litres of A is poured in. Now the ratio of A to B becomes 10 : 7. Find the amount of B originally present in the mixture.

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 6

E) 35 litres Explanation: Total = 5x+7x+24 = 12x+24 So 5x+15/7x = 10/7 Solve, x = 3 So total = 12*3 + 24 = 60 litres So B = 7/(5+7) * 60 = 35

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 7

Milk contains 20% water. What quantity of pure milk should be added to 75 litres of this milk to reduce the quantity of water to 15%?

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 7

A) 25 litres Explanation: To have final mixture with water 15% means, milk = (100-15) = 85% Pure milk is 100% milk, and in 75 litres of milk there is 80% milk so Milk (75 litres)                        Pure milk (x litres) 80                                                  100
.                             85
15                                                        5
3 : 1
So 75/x = 3/1 Solve, x = 25

.                10
10-(-15)                 20-10
25 : 10
5 : 2
So at 20% profit = 5/(5+2) * 560

D) 67.5 km Explanation: Average speed = 75/5 = 15 km/hr By method of allegation: 6                          18
.             15
3                           9
1 : 3
1 : 3 is the ratio of times.
So time by scooter = 3/(1+3) * 5 = 3.75 hrs So distance by scooter = 3.75 * 18

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 10

A 50 litres mixture of milk and water contains 10% water. 10 litres of this mixture is replaced by 10 litres of milk. What is the percentage of water in the final mixture?

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 10

B) 8%
Explanation: When 10 litres taken out, quantity of mixture left =50-10=40, so milk left = 90/100 *40 = 36 And water left = (10/100)*40 = 4 now 10 litres of milk poured in, so there is no change in quantity of water, and total mixture again becomes 50l so water now is 4/50 * 100 = 8%

(x-20)                 10 So (x-20)/10 = 50 kg/100 kg Solve, x = 25% 100 kg costs = 100*7 = Rs 700 So at 25% profit SP of 100 kg is (125/100) * 700 = Rs 875 So SP of 1 kg = 875/100 = 8.75

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 19

A can contains milk and water in the ratio 3:1. A part of this mixture is replaced with milk, and now the new ratio of milk to water is 15:4.What proportion of original mixture had been replaced by milk?

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 19

D) 3/19
Explanation: Let total original quantity = x litres, Let y litres replaced.
After y litres of mixture drawn out, Milk = [3/(3+1)] * x – [3/(3+1)] * y Water = [1/(3+1)] * x – [1/(3+1)] * y Now y litres of milk poured in can. Milk becomes (3/4)*x – (3/4)*y +y = (3/4)*x + (1/4)*y Now [(3/4)*x +(1/4)*y] / [(1/4)*x – (1/4)*y] = 15/4 Solve, y = (3/19)* x So 3/19 of original mixture removed.

Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 5 - Question 20
