A 12 D os:a7 E None of these Answer: A Explanation: By alligation rule eo ton 2 Question & A 40-liter solution of 60% alcohol is mixed with alcohol, find the value of ‘a’? ters of pure alcohol. If the resultant solution is 75% A. 25iiters B 20liters © 30 liters D Cannot be determined E None of the above Answer: Explanation: Using the rule of alligation, ‘A = 60%, B = 100% and C = 75%, where A is the original solution ciptaining 60% alcohol, B is pure alcohol and Cis the resultant solution containing 75% alcohol. Downloaded from cracku.inSo, the required ratio is (100 - 75) : (75 - 60) = 25 : 15 So, A and B have to be mixed In the ratio 5 : 3 Since A = 40 liters, B = 24 liters 24 liters Question 9 profit and the remaining part at 20% profit. On the he sell at a profit of 10%? D 30k E None of the above Answer: A Explanation: Using the rule of alligation A= 10%, B 790% and C= 14% (20 - 14) : (14-10) of rice soldat 10% profit = 3/5 * 100 k \C CHSL Prevoius Papers (DOWNLOAD PDF) Question 10 ‘A shopkeeper has two varieties of rice: rice A which costs Rs 45 per kg and rice B which costs Rs 30 per kg, In what ratio should he mix A and B to be able to make a profifjof 12.5% when he sells the rice at Rs 45 per kg? A 2a B52 © 3a D 12 E_ None of these Answer: A Explanation: Let's first determine the cost price of the mixture. Let it Hence, (45-x)/x = 12.5% 45 = 1,125x x= 40 Now we use the rule of alligation le. 45 30 Vv Downloaded from cracku.inHence, we mix A and B in th to get the required mixture. Question 11 In what ratio should you solution with 15% concent Ald B13 © 125 C ion of 30% concentration acid with a 10% concentration acid to get a cid? Dus E None of Answer: B Explanation: Using alligation formula, 30% 10% VE 15% LN 5% : 15% Gd Hence, the solutions should be mixed in the ratio 1:3.
