Ques:- To 15 lts of water containing 20% alcohol, we add 5 lts of pure water. What is % alcohol.
Recent Answer : Added by Shashank Panddey On 2022-09-15 16:36:25:

saying 20%alcohol in 15 litre solution.

It means (20/100)*15=3 litres

Now 5 litre of water is added not alcohol.

So it means only the volume of solution is increases by 5 not alcohol.

It means 15+5=20

Now % of alcohol is

(3/20)*100=15%.

Ques:- A man rows to a place 48 km distant and come back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is:
Recent Answer : Added by shashank chourasiya On 2022-03-09 16:42:05:

Hint: Assume that the speed of the stream is x and the speed of the boat in still water is x. From the statement of the question form two equations in two variables x and y. This system is reducible to linear equations in two variables. Reduce the system to a system of linear equations in two variables by proper substitutions. Solve the system of equations using any one of the methods like Substitution method, elimination method, graphical method or using matrices. Hence find the value of x satisfying both the equation. The value of x will be the speed of the stream.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Let the speed of the stream be x, and the speed of the boat in still water be y.
We have the speed of the boat upstream = y-x.
Speed of the boat downstream = y+ x.
Now since it takes 14 hours to reach a place at a distance of 48 km and come back, we have the sum of the times taken to reach the place downstream and time taken to return back upstream is equal to 14.
Now, we know that time =Distance speed
Using, we get
Time taken to reach the place =48y+x and the time taken to return back =48y−x.
Hence, we have
48y+x+48y−x=14
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
24y+x+24y−x=7 —–(i)
Also, the time taken to cover 4km downstream is equal to the time taken to cover 3km upstream.
Hence, we have 4y+x=3y−x
Transposing the term on RHS to LHS, we get
4y+x−3y−x=0 ——– (ii)
Put 1y+x=t and 1y−x=u, we have
24t+24u=7 ——-(iii)4t−3u=0 ——–(iv)
Multiplying equation (iv) by 6 and subtracting from equation (iii), we get
24t−24t+24u+18u=7⇒42u=7
Dividing both sides by 42, we get
u=742=16
Substituting the value of u in equation (iv), we get
4t−3(16)=0⇒4t−12=0
Adding 12 on both sides, we get
4t=12
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
t=18
Reverting to original variables, we have
1y+x=18 and 1y−x=16
Taking reciprocals on both sides in both equations, we have
y+ x=8 ——- (v)y−x=6 ——–(vi)
Adding equation (v) and equation (vi), we get
2y=14
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
y=7.
Substituting the value of y in equation (v), we get
7+x=8
Subtracting 7 from both sides we get
x = 8-7 =1
Hence the speed of the stream is 1 km/hr.

Ques:- A dishonest shopkeeper professes to sell pulses at the cost price, but he uses a false weight of 950gm. for a kg. His gain is____%.
Recent Answer : Added by Rohit Saha On 2021-09-16 17:27:37:

let’s say the Cost Price is 1000x. (CP)
The selling price is also the same as the Cost price. So, here SP=CP (But he sells 950gm instead of 1000gm)

Instead of 1000gm, he is selling 950 grams at the CP. So he sells 050 gms @1000x price. So his net profit is 50gm.
Now 1000gm is 1000x Rs
So, 50gms is 50x rs. [Apllied Unitary Method]

So his profit percentage is:
Profit Percentage Formula: {(Profit/CP)*100%}
So, Here profit is 50x;
CP is 1000x;
so putting the value in the formula we get, Profit Percentage is: (50x/1000x)*100% =(5000x/1000x)%=5%.

first fill 3quart pail and pour in 5quart pail.fill again 3
quart pail and fill remaining 2 quarts in 5 quart
pail.hence 1 quart remains in 3quart pail.empty 5quart pail
and pour 1 quart from 3 quart pail. also add another 3
quart from 3 quart pail. hence 1 + 3 quarts = 4 quarts.

Ques:- Mr. T has a wrong weighing pan. One arm is lengthier than other. 1 kilogram on left balances 8 melons on right. 1 kilogram on right balances 2 melons on left. If all melons are equal in weight,what is the weight of a single melon?
Recent Answer : Added by samarth khare On 2021-06-23 17:56:06:

Suppose the lengthier arm of weighing pan is of x cm and other arm is y cm .Also let weight if each melon be m kg.
so applying equilibrium of torque principles ,we get
case 1:-
1x-8my=0
case 2:-
2mx-1y=0
using case 1 equation , we substitute value of x into case 2 equation;
16mmy-1y=0
(16mm-1)y=0
y is length of weighing arm and cannot be 0,
therefore ,
16mm-1 =0
16mm=1
mm=1/16
m= square root (1/16)
m=+-1/4
m is weight of melon and cant be negative.
Hence m, weight of one melon is 1/4 kg

Ques:- 1) In a club there are certain no. of males and females. If 15 females are absent then no. of males will be twice that of females. If 45 males are absent then female strength will be 5 times that of males. Find no. of males actually present.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:55:

Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.
