 There are two mixtures A and B containing water and milk. A contains 20% water and B contains 30% water. Some quantity is taken from A and double this quantity from B, they are mixed to form another mixture C. What is the percentage of milk in mixture C?

• Let x litres taken from mixture A, then 2x litres from mixture B. So ratio of milk to water in mixture C =
  80% of x + 70% of 2x : 20% of x + 30% of 2x
  = (80/100) + (140/100) : (20/100) + (60/100)
  = 11 : 4
  So % of milk = [11/(11+4)] * 100=73.33%

Distance between point P and Q is 480 km. A train starts from point P at 6:00 AM with 60 km/hr towards Q. Another train starts from point Q towards P at 7:00 AM with 80 km/kr. At what time the trains will meet?

Explanation:

When 2^nd train starts i.e. at 7 AM (1 hr after 6 AM), distance covered by first train is 60 km (i.e. in 1 hr).
Now 2^nd train also starts and distance between them is now (480-60) = 420 km
Both coming in opposite direction, so relative speed = (60+80) = 140 km/hr
So time = 7:00 AM + (420/140) = 7:00 AM +3 hrs = 10:00 AM

1.  At the start of business A invested some money. After 4 months B joined by investing twice amount as A and after 8 months from start of business C invested thrice amount as A invested. If the total shares of A and C is Rs 30,000, what is the total profit received at the end of year?

Explanation:
Let A invested x for 12 months, then B for 2*x = 2x for (12-4) = 8 months, and C invested 3*x = 3x for (12-8) = 4 months. So A : B : C =
x*12 : 2x*8 : 3x*4
3 : 4 : 3
So (A+C) gets [(3+3)/(3+4+3)] * y = 30,000
Solve y = Rs 50,000

Rice is bought at the rate of Rs 8 per kg. Out of the total quantity of 110 kg, 60 kg of rice is sold at 10% profit. At what rate per kg the remaining need rice need to be sold so that there is a profit of 20% on the total price?

Explanation:
Let remaining (110-60) = 50 kg at x%. So by allegation method,
(60 kg)…………………(50 kg)
10% …………………….x%
…………….20%
(x-20)…………..………10
So (x-20)/10 = 60 kg/50 kg
Solve, x = 32%
50 kg costs = 50*8 = Rs 400
So at 32% profit SP of 50 kg is (132/100) * 400 = Rs 528
So SP of 1 kg = 528/50 = 10.56
