Either I or II is true

Statement: J ≤ K < T = A ≥ W = C

i) W = T ⇒ False (as T = A ≥ W ⇒ T ≥ W thus the relation between W and T cannot be established)

ii) T > W ⇒ False (as T = A ≥ W ⇒ T ≥ W thus the relation between W and T cannot be established) 

So, T ≥ W means either T > W or T = W

Hence, either I or II is true.

    12.5 days

  2. ((b))

    12 days

  3. ((c))

    15 days

  4. ((d))

    5 days

  5. ((e))

    4 days

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

12.5 days

Given:

Time taken by Niya alone to complete the work = 10 days

Time taken by Niya and Kriya to complete the work = 6 Days

Riya = 20% more efficient then kriya

Formula used:

(1/t) = (1/t1) + (1/t2)

Where, t = time taken to complete whole work,

t1 and t2 = time taken by 1 and 2 to complete work alone

Efficiency = (Total work)/(Time taken)

Calculation:

Let time taken by Kriya be x days.

⇒ (1/6) = (1/10) + (1/x)

⇒ (1/x) = (1/6) - (1/10)  (5 - 3)/30 

⇒ (1/x) = (5 - 3)/30

⇒ (1/x) = 2/30

⇒ x = 30/2 

⇒ x = 15

Time taken by Kriya = 15 days.

If Riya is 20% more efficient than kriya

So, time to complete the work by Riya = 15/{(100 + 20)/100} 

⇒ 1500/120

⇒ 12.5 days

∴ Riya alone can complete the work in 12.5 days.

Alternate Method Let total work = 30

Efficiency of Niya = 3 

Then efficiency of Kriya = 5 - 3 = 2

Riya is 20% more efficient then kriya then

Efficiency of kriya = 1.2 × 2 = 2.4

Riya complete work when working alone = 30/2.4 = 12.5 days.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

3 months

Given:  

Shubham invests Rs.2250, and after some time Shivam invests Rs. 2500

Calculation: 

Let the time after which Shivam invest his rupees be x

⇒ Shubham's Profit = 6050 - 2750 = 3300 Rs.

⇒ Shivam's profit = 2750 Rs.

The ratio of the profit = 3300 : 2750

⇒  6 : 5

Because the ratio of the capital is equals to the ratio of the profit then,

⇒ 2250 × 12 : 2500 × x = 6 : 5

⇒ 5 ( 2250 × 12) = 6 ( 2500 × x)

⇒  x = 9 months

∴  Shivam invested after 3 months.

  5. ((e))

    35%

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

50%

Let the cost price of an item be Rs.A.

Selling price of 8 items = Rs.12A

Selling price of an item = 12A/8 = Rs. 3A/2

Marked price of an item = Rs.1500

Selling price of an item = 1500 × 80/100 = Rs.1200

⇒ 3A/2 = 1200

⇒ A = Rs.800

The cost price of an item = Rs.800

Profit percentage = (1200 – 800)/800 × 100

∴ Profit percentage = 50%

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

29,16

Given:

Distance between two places = 180km

Trains meet at the time = 4hrs

Concept used:

The relative speed between two trains if they are moving in opposite directions = (x + y)kmph

Distance = Time × speed

Calculation: 

Let the speed of the train starts from P place  = x kmph

let the speed of the train starts from Q place = y kmph

According to the information given in the question 

Distance between two places = 180km

Relative speed between trains = (x + y)kmph

The time after which the trains meet each other = 4hrs

Distance = Time × speed

180 = 4 × (x + y)

x + y =  45.......................................................... (1)

Now, according to the information in the given question

Difference between speeds of both trains

x - y = 13........................................................... (2)

Adding equations (1) and (2),

2x = 58

So, x = 29

Put this in equation (2),

29 - y = 13

y = 16.

So,

x = 29 , y = 16

Hence the speeds of both trains are 29kmph and 16kmph.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

486

Shortcut Trick

Ratio of Mother to Son: Present = 4 : 1 and After 8 years = 16 : 5.

Equating ratio difference: (4:1)×11 and (16:5)×3 → 44:11 and 48:15.

Change in units = 15 − 11 = 4 units → 8 years. So, 1 unit = 2 years.

Present age of son = 11 units × 2 = 22 years.

Value of x = 222 = 484. Then, x + 2 = 484 + 2 = 486.

∴ The correct answer is 486.

Alternate Method

Given: Present ratio M : S = 4 : 1. Let ages be 4s and s.

Formula: Ratio = (Initial Age + Time) ÷ (Initial Age + Time)

⇒ (4s + 8) ÷ (s + 8) = 16 ÷ 5

⇒ 5 × (4s + 8) = 16 × (s + 8)

⇒ 20s + 40 = 16s + 128

⇒ 4s = 88

⇒ s = 22

⇒ x = s2 = 222 = 484

⇒ x + 2 = 484 + 2 = 486

∴ The correct answer is 486.

Additional Information

Ratio Difference Method

To solve age problems quickly, ensure the difference between ratio parts remains constant over time by multiplying with the cross-difference.

Square of Numbers

Memorizing squares up to 30 helps in fast calculations. For example, 212 = 441, 222 = 484, 232 = 529.

Ages Property

The difference between the ages of two people always remains constant, regardless of how many years pass.

Distance = speed × time

Calculation:

Let the man rows in still water at the rate of x km/hr 

And the rate of stream be y km/hr

Then, man's rate in downstream = (x + y) km/hr

And man's rate in upstream = (x - y) km/hr

∴ The time taken in downstream = 25/x + y 

And the time taken in upstream = 10/x - y

⇒25/(x + y) = 15   &   10/(x - y) = 15

⇒15x + 15y = 25   &   15x - 15y = 10

By adding these two,

30x = 35 

⇒x = 35/30 = 7/6 km/hr

By putting x = 35/30

15(35/30) + 15y = 25

⇒15y = 15/2

⇒y = 1/2 km/hr 

Now, L = x + y

⇒ 3/5 (L)= (7/6 + 1/2) × 3/5

⇒3/5 × 10/6 = 1

The value of (3/5)L is 1

A mixture of 343 litres of wine and water is to be distributed in the ratio of 5 : 2. How much more water should be added so that the new mixture contains wine and water in the ratio of 5 : 3?

  1. ((a))

    49 litres

  2. ((b))

    30 litres

  3. ((c))

    40 litres

  4. ((d))

    39 litres

  5. ((e))

    50 litres

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

49 litres

 

The initial quantity of mixture = 343 litres

Initial ratio of mixture = 5 : 2

The final ratio of mixture = 5 : 3

Initial quantity of wine = 5 units

Initial quantity of water = 2 units

According to the question,

(5 + 2) units = 343 litres

⇒ 7 units = 343 litres

⇒ 1 unit = 49 litres

From the initial and final ratio of the mixture, we can see that quantity of water is increased by 1 unit.

So, the quantity of water added = 1 unit

⇒ 49 litres

∴ The quantity of water added is 49 litres.

Traditional Method:

Given:

The initial quantity of mixture = 343 litres

Initial ratio of mixture = 5 : 2

The final ratio of mixture = 5 : 3

Calculation:

Let initial quantity of wine and water be 5x and 2x.

5x + 2x = 343

⇒ 7x = 343

⇒ x = 49

Initial quantity of wine = 5x

⇒ 5 × 49

⇒ 245 litres

Initial quantity of sugar = 2x

⇒ 2 × 49

⇒ 98 litres

Let the water to be added in new mixture be x litres.

According to the question,

245/(98 + x) = 5/3

⇒ 245 × 3 = 5(98 + x)

⇒ 735 = 490 + 5x

⇒ 5x = 245

⇒ x = 49

∴ The quantity of water added is 49 litres.
