In what proportion must a chemist mix two solutions of a certain chemical, which cost him Rs. 9 and Rs. 13.50 a gallon respectively, so that by selling the mixture at Rs. 16.56 a gallon, he may make 38% profit on his outlay?
In what proportion must a chemist mix two solutions of a certain chemical, which cost him Rs. 9 and Rs. 13.50 a gallon respectively, so that by selling the mixture at Rs. 16.56 a gallon, he may make 38% profit on his outlay?
Selling price = Rs. 16.56
Cost price for 38/% profit = 1.38 C.P. = 16.56
C.P. = = Rs. 12
A certain product P3 is made of two ingredients P1 and P2 in the proportion of 2 : 5. The price of P1 is three times that of P2. The overall cost of P3 is Rs. 10.4 per kg including labour charges of Rs.1.6 per kg. Find the cost of P1 & P2 per kg ?
A certain product P3 is made of two ingredients P1 and P2 in the proportion of 2 : 5. The price of P1 is three times that of P2. The overall cost of P3 is Rs. 10.4 per kg including labour charges of Rs.1.6 per kg. Find the cost of P1 & P2 per kg ?
Let the price of P2 per kg be Rs. X. Then the price of P1 per kg = Rs. 3X.
1 kg of P3 P3contains
Price of 1 kg of P3 =
P2y the given condition,
Hence, the price of P1 per kg = 3X = 3 × 5.6 = Rs. 16.8
Price of P2 per KG = Rs5.6
P1, P2, P3 do a piece of work in a t hours. P1 could have done it alone in 6 hours more than t hours, P2 in 14 hours more than the t hours and P3 in 5t hours. How long did they take working together?
P1, P2, P3 do a piece of work in a t hours. P1 could have done it alone in 6 hours more than t hours, P2 in 14 hours more than the t hours and P3 in 5t hours. How long did they take working together?
Let X = working time
Solve to get X = 6 hours.
A labour contract camp had food for 160 men which was to last 240 days. After of the time 40 men left the camp. What is the total number of days that the food will now last?
A labour contract camp had food for 160 men which was to last 240 days. After of the time 40 men left the camp. What is the total number of days that the food will now last?
It is given that 40 men left after of the time, that is, after 60 days. After 60 days, the camp had food for 160 men for 180 days.
This amount is to be consumed by 120 men since 40 men left in the camp.
Therefore, 160 * 180 = 120 * y or y = 240 days
But in the question, we have to find the tot
Three containers have capacity of 3750 ml, 9750 ml and 3000 ml. 10230 ml of milk is poured into them so that the same fraction of each is filled. The volume filled in the largest container will be:
Three containers have capacity of 3750 ml, 9750 ml and 3000 ml. 10230 ml of milk is poured into them so that the same fraction of each is filled. The volume filled in the largest container will be:
37.5x + 97.5x + 30x = 10230
X = 62
97.5x = 97.5 * 62 = 6045 ml.
A pipe can fill a tank completely in 40 hours but it takes eight hours more due to a leak. If a second pipe which is half the efficiency of the first one is opened and the first pipe is closed, in how much time will the second pipe along with the leak be able to fill half the tank?
A pipe can fill a tank completely in 40 hours but it takes eight hours more due to a leak. If a second pipe which is half the efficiency of the first one is opened and the first pipe is closed, in how much time will the second pipe along with the leak be able to fill half the tank?
Let the total work be 240 units.
Total Work = 240 Units
Pipe 1: 40 hours = 6 units/h
Pipe 1 + Leak: 48 hours = 5 units/h
Leak can empty 1 unit in 1 hour.
Pipe 2 can fill 3 units per hour (half as efficient as the first one)
Therefore, effective filling is 2 units per hour.
Therefore, 120 units (half the t
At an exam 1/5 of a class individually gained 4/5 of the maximum marks, 1/4 gained 7/10 of the maximum, 1/2 gained 1/2 of the maximum and the rest gained 9/10 of the maximum. The average marks obtained by the whole class are 63. What are the maximum marks?

Two trains start from Delhi and Kolkata at 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. respectively and move towards Kolkata and Delhi. The train from Delhi reaches Kolkata at 4 p.m. while the train from Kolkata reaches Delhi at 3 p.m. At what time will they meet during the journey?
Two trains start from Delhi and Kolkata at 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. respectively and move towards Kolkata and Delhi. The train from Delhi reaches Kolkata at 4 p.m. while the train from Kolkata reaches Delhi at 3 p.m. At what time will they meet during the journey?
Time taken by two trains will be 9 hours and 6 hours respectively. So, Let the total distance be LCM of (9 and 6) = 18.
Speed of trains will be 2 km/hr & 3 km/hr.
At 9 am distance between two trains is 14 km
Time taken = = 2 hours 48 minutes
So, trains will meet at 11:48 am.
X earns 25% less than Y, but 20% more than Z. If Z earns 7980 less than Y, find the respective earnings of X, Y and Z?
X earns 25% less than Y, but 20% more than Z. If Z earns 7980 less than Y, find the respective earnings of X, Y and Z?
If Z earns Rs 100a, X earns 120a & Y earns 160a
160a – 100a = 60a = 7980
a = 133
X= 120 * 133 = 15960
Y = 160 * 133 = 21280
Z = 100 * 133 = 13300
What is the least number which, when divided by 5, 6, 7, 8 gives remainder 3 in each case but is divisible by 11?
What is the least number which, when divided by 5, 6, 7, 8 gives remainder 3 in each case but is divisible by 11?
L.C.M. of 5, 6, 7, 8
= 35 * 24 = 840
Therefore, the required number = 840x + 3,
Which is exactly divisible by 11.
For x = 2, it is divisible by 11.
Hence,
Required number = 840x + 3
= 840 * 2 + 3
= 1683
