1) A merchant mixes three varieties of rice costing RS.20/kg, RS.24/kg and

RS.30/kg and sells the mixture at a profit of 20% at RS.30/kg. How many
kgs of the second variety will be in the mixture if 2 kgs of the third variety is
there in the mixture?

A. 1 kg

B. 3 kgs

C. 5 kgs

D. 6 kgs

E. 7 kgs
2) From a cask of milk containing 30 litres, 6 litres are drawn out and is

replaced with water. If the same process is repeated two more times,
how many litres of milk will be left in the cask?

A) 0.512 litres
B) 12 litres
C) 14.38 litres
D) 15.36 litres
3) Product M is produced by mixing chemical X and chemical Y in
the ratio of 5 : 4. Chemical X is prepared by mixing two raw
materials, A and B, in the ratio of 1 : 3. Chemical Y is prepared by
mixing raw materials, B and C, in the ratio of 2 : 1. Then the final
mixture is prepared by mixing 864 units of product M with water. If
the concentration of the raw material B in the final mixture is 50%,
how much water had been added to product M?

a) 328 units
b) 368 units
c) 392 units
d) 616 units
d) None of the above
• M is produced by mixing chemical X and chemical Y in the ratio 5 : 4

• Hence, 5/9 th of product M is chemical X and 4/9 th of product M is chemical Y.

• Chemical X has A and B in the ratio 1 : 3.

• So, 3/4 th of X is B.

• Therefore, fraction of B in product M from chemical X = 5/9 × 3/4 Chemical Y

has B and C in the ratio 2 : 1.

• So, 2/3 rd of Y is B.

• Therefore, fraction of B in product M from chemical Y = 4/9 ×1/3 Adding the

two, the fraction of B in Product M = 5/9 ×3/4 + 4 9 ×2/3
Compute the amount of water added

The final product is obtained by mixing 864 units of product M with

water.

In 864 units of Product M, amount of B = 864×77/108 = 616

In the final mixture, concentration of B is 50%.

Therefore, the total quantity of final mixture = 616 × 2 = 1232

Water added = 1232 – 864 = 368

4) Three friends A, B and C play a game in a pub. The rules are simple. Whenever there is a contest
between any two of them, the one who has a higher percentage alcohol should pour 200 ml of his
wine into the one having lower percentage alcohol. The game starts as a contest between A and B,
then B and C and then C and A. Post this, the game continues in the same cycle on and on. If a player
has emptied all his alcohol, then the remaining two play the game with the same rules. If two players
have the alcohol of the same percentage level, the younger one pours 200 ml of his alcohol into the
elder one’s glass. All three of them start the game with 600 ml of wine. A’s wine has 60% alcohol,
B’s has 48% alcohol and C’s has 50% alcohol. They take 3 minutes to play one round of this game.
D, a fourth friend leaves the pub immediately after the game begins, returns after an hour and drinks
wine from the person who has the highest alcohol percentage. What is the concentration of the
alcohol that D had?

a) 51.5%
b) 52.67%
c) 53%
d) Cannot be determined
