So water : milk = 5 : 20 = 1 : 4
28 | P a g e
Let x litres drawn out

So water left = 5 – (1/(1+4))*x = 5 – x/5
Milk left = 20 – (4/(1+4))*x = 20 – 4x/5
Now x litres of water is added too, so water becomes = 5 – x/5 + x = 5 + 4x/5
So [5 + 4x/5] / [20 – 4x/5] = 1/3
75x+12x = 100x-4x
16x = 25
x=25/16 = 1.5625

29 | P a g e
C) 1/4
D) 10/3
E) 12/7
B) 1/3
Explanation:
Total = 4+ 6 = 10
The old ratio is 4/6 = 2/3, so new ratio of bronze to copper should be 3/2
Let x kg of mixture is drawn out and then x kg of bronze added.
So
Bronze is now = 4 – (4/10)*x + x = 4 + (3x/5)
Copper is now = 6 – (6/10)*x = 6 – (3x/5)
Now [4 + (3x/5)] / [6 – (3x/5)] = 3/2
Solve, x = 10/3
So part of mixture drawn out is (10/3)*10 = 1/3

A) Rs 87
B) Rs 73
C) Rs 62
D) Rs 55
E) Rs 76
B) Rs 73
Explanation:
Since 1st and 2nd wheat mixed in equal ratio, their average price = (50+56)/2 = Rs 52
Let 3rd variety of wheat be Rs x per kg
So they are mixed as : (2+2) : 3 = 4 : 3
So
52 x
. 61
x-61 61-52=9
so x-61/9 = 4/3
solve, x = 73
9. A mixture of milk and water contains 25% water. 12 litres of this mixture is drawn out

[5/(5+2)] * x + [4/(3+4)] * x : [2/(5+2)] * x + [3/(3+4)] * x
1. A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 2 : 3 and the other contains them in the
ratio 3 : 1 respectively. What weight of 2nd mixture must be taken so as to make a third
mixture 7 litres in weight with 70% milk?
A) 1 litre
B) 4 litres
C) 6 litres
D) 10 litres
E) 9 litres
31 | P a g e
C) 6 litres
Explanation:
70/100 = 7/10
Milk in first = 2/(2+3) = 2/5, milk in second = 3/(3+1) = 3/4
2/5 3/4
. 7/10
3/4 – 7/10 7/10 – 2/5
1/20 : 3/10
1:6
So in 3rd mixture, 2nd mixture is [6/(1+6)] * 7 = 6 litres
2. How many kg of wheat costing Rs 8 per kg must be mixed with 8 Kg of wheat costing Rs
12 per Kg, so that there may be gain of 20% by selling the mixture of Rs 11.52 per Kg?
A) 9 kg
B) 17 kg
C) 15 kg
D) 12 kg
E) 14 kg
D) 12 kg
Explanation:
With 20% gain and SP = 11.52, CP = (100/120)*11.52 = 9.6
1st wheat (x kg) 2nd wheat (8 kg)
8 12
. 9.6
12-9.6 9.6-8
2.4 1.6
3:2
So x/8 = 3/2
3. 15 litres of the milk is drawn out of a jar and filled with water. This operation is
performed 1 more times. If the ratio of the quantity of milk left in jar to that of water in
jar is 16 : 9, what was the initial quantity of milk present in the jar?
A) 60 litres
B) 55 litres
C) 80 litres
D) 85 litres
E) 75 litres
E) 75 litres
Explanation:
Let initial quantity of milk = x litres
After two times, quantity of milk left in jar = x [1 – 15/x]2
32 | P a g e
So x [1 – 15/x]2 / x = 16/16+9
[1 – 15/x]2 = 16/25
Square root both sides, so [1 – 15/x] = 4/5
Solve, x = 75
4. Wheat worth Rs 30 per kg and Rs 42 per kg are mixed with a third variety of wheat in
the ratio 1 : 1 : 2 respectively. The mixture is worth Rs 42 per kg. Find the price (per kg)
of the third variety of wheat.
A) Rs 58
B) Rs 48
C) Rs 62
D) Rs 50
E) None of these
B) Rs 48
Explanation:
Since 1st and 2nd wheat mixed in equal ratio, their average price = (30+42)/2 = 72/2 = Rs 36
Let 3rd variety of wheat be Rs x per kg
So they are mixed as : (1+1) : 2 = 1 : 1
So
36 x
. 42
x-42 42-36=6
so x-42/6 = 1/1
solve, x = 48
5. A mixture contains A and B in the ratio 5 : 9. 14 litres of this mixture is taken out and 14
litres of B is poured in. Now the ratio of A to B becomes 2 : 5. Find the amount of B
originally present in the mixture.
A) 25 litres
B) 45 litres
C) 55 litres
D) 40 litres
E) 35 litres
B) 45 litres
Explanation:
Total = 5x+9x+14 = 14x+14
So 5x/9x+14 = 2/5
Solve, x = 4
So total = 14*4 + 14 = 70 litres
So B = 9/(5+9) * 70 = 45
6. A mixture contains A and B in the ratio 5 : 7. 24 litres of this mixture is taken out and 15
litres of A is poured in. Now the ratio of A to B becomes 10 : 7. Find the amount of B
originally present in the mixture.
33 | P a g e
A) 25 litres
B) 45 litres
C) 55 litres
D) 40 litres
E) 35 litres
E) 35 litres
Explanation:
Total = 5x+7x+24 = 12x+24
So 5x+15/7x = 10/7
Solve, x = 3
So total = 12*3 + 24 = 60 litres
So B = 7/(5+7) * 60 = 35
7. Milk contains 20% water. What quantity of pure milk should be added to 75 litres of
this milk to reduce the quantity of water to 15%?
A) 25 litres
B) 30 litres
C) 18 litres
D) 10 litres
E) 22 litres
A) 25 litres
Explanation:
To have final mixture with water 15% means, milk = (100-15) = 85%
Pure milk is 100% milk, and in 75 litres of milk there is 80% milk so
Milk (75 litres) Pure milk (x litres)
80 100
. 85
15 5
3:1
So 75/x = 3/1
Solve, x = 25
8. An article is bought for Rs 560. Some of the part is sold at 20% profit and remaining at

C) 48.5 km
D) 67.5 km
E) 56.25 km
D) 67.5 km
Explanation:
Average speed = 75/5 = 15 km/hr
6 18
. 15
3 9
1:3
1 : 3 is the ratio of times.
So time by scooter = 3/(1+3) * 5 = 3.75 hrs
So distance by scooter = 3.75 * 18
10. A 50 litres mixture of milk and water contains 10% water. 10 litres of this mixture is
replaced by 10 litres of milk. What is the percentage of water in the final mixture?
A) 9%
B) 8%
C) 7%
D) 8.5%
E) 6.5%
B) 8%
Explanation:
When 10 litres taken out, quantity of mixture left =50-10=40, so
milk left = 90/100 *40 = 36
And water left = (10/100)*40 = 4
now 10 litres of milk poured in, so there is no change in quantity of water, and total mixture again
becomes 50l
so water now is 4/50 * 100 = 8%

1. A 30 litres milk-water mixture contains 50% milk. How much pure milk need to be
added to this mixture to make the mixture 30% water?
A) 10 litres
B) 15 litres
C) 18 litres
D) 20 litres
E) 25 litres
D) 20 litres
Explanation:
30 litres mixture contains 15 litres of water. When milk added to this, quantity of water will remain
same (i.e. 15 l)
Let x l of pure milk to be added, then
30% of (30+x) = 15
Solve, x = 20

3. A mixture contains A and B in the ratio 2 : 5. 7 litres of mixture is replaced by 18 litres

of A and the new ratio becomes 8 : 11 respectively. What is the amount of A present in
the original mixture?
A) 20 litres
B) 18 litres
C) 44 litres
D) 24 litres
E) None of these
36 | P a g e
D) 24 litres
Explanation:
A = 2x, B = 5x
After 7 litres draw out:
A = 2x – (2/7)*7 = 2x – 2 , B = 5x – (5/7)*7 = 5x – 5
After 18 l of A put back, A = (2x – 2) + 18 = 2x +16
So (2x+16)/(5x-5) = 8/11
Solve, x = 12
So A = 2x = 2*12
4. Rs 2000 is lent in 2 parts, 1 part at 8% per annum and 2nd part at 15% per annum. At

r = 10.8%
By the method of allegation:
1st part 2nd part
8 15
. 10.8
4.2 2.8
4.2 : 2.8 = 3 : 2
At 15% = (2/5) * 2000

A) 24 kg
B) 20 kg
C) 42 kg
D) 36 kg
E) 22 kg
B) 20 kg
Explanation:
Let x kg of wheat at Rs 42 per kg be mixed
SP = 40, gain% = 25%, so CP = (100/125) * 40 = Rs 32
So
1st wheat(x kg) 2nd wheat(25 kg)
42 24
. 32
8 10
So 8/10 = x/25
Solve, x = 20
8. 150 kg of wheat is at Rs 7 per kg. 50 kg is sold at 10% profit. At what rate per kg the

B) Rs 8.25
C) Rs 8.75
D) Rs 10.25
E) Rs 10
38 | P a g e
C) Rs 8.75
Explanation:
Let remaining 100 kg at x%. so,
50 kg 100 kg
10% x%
. 20%
(x-20) 10
So (x-20)/10 = 50 kg/100 kg
Solve, x = 25%
100 kg costs = 100*7 = Rs 700
So at 25% profit SP of 100 kg is (125/100) * 700 = Rs 875
So SP of 1 kg = 875/100 = 8.75
9. A can contains milk and water in the ratio 3:1. A part of this mixture is replaced with
milk, and now the new ratio of milk to water is 15:4.What proportion of original
mixture had been replaced by milk?
A) 9/19
B) 8/19
C) 6/17
D) 3/19
E) 4/19
D) 3/19
Explanation:
Let total original quantity = x litres, Let y litres replaced.
After y litres of mixture drawn out,
Milk = [3/(3+1)] * x – [3/(3+1)] * y
Water = [1/(3+1)] * x – [1/(3+1)] * y
Now y litres of milk poured in can. Milk becomes (3/4)*x – (3/4)*y +y = (3/4)*x +(1/4)*y
Now [(3/4)*x +(1/4)*y] / [(1/4)*x – (1/4)*y] = 15/4
Solve, y = (3/19)* x
So 3/19 of original mixture removed.
10. A can contains 40 litres of milk at Rs 3.5 per litre. How much water must be added to

liters of liquid A was contained by the can initially?
A)70.5litres
B)63litres
C)76.5litres
D)82.5llitres
E)None of these
Answer
Answer – C) 76.5litre
Explanation :
Initial = 9x and 7x
Quantity of A in mixture left = (9x- (9/16)*8)
= 9x – (9/2)
Quantity of B in mixture left = (7x – (7/16)*8)
= 7x – (7/2)
[9x – (9/2)]/[7x – (7/2)+8] = 9/8
50 | P a g e
18x-9/14x + 9 = 9/8
144x-72 = 126x+81
18x=153
X = 153/18 = 8.5
9x = 9*8.5 = 76.5litre
