    Let A liters wine cask hold originally, then
    A[1 - (8 / A )]4 / A = 16 / 81

    Correct Option: C

    Let A liters wine cask hold originally, then
    A[1 - (8 / A)]4 / A = 16 / 81
    ⇒ (1 - (8 / A))4 = (2 / 3 )4
    ⇒ (1 - (8 / A)) = (2 / 3)
    ⇒ (8 / A) = (1 - (2 /3))
    ⇒ (8 / A) = (1 / 3)
    ∴ A = 24 liters

  1. Some amount out of Rs. 7000 was lent at 6 % p.a. and the remaining at 4 % p. a. If the total simple interest from both the fractions in 5 years was Rs. 1600, the sum lent at 6 % p. a. was —

    According to question ,

    Average annual rate =
    1600
    		×
    1000
    		%
    70005

    Average annual rate =
    32
    		%
    7
    ∴ (Amount at 6%) : (Amount at 4%) =
    4
    		:
    10
    		= 2 : 5
    77

    Correct Option: A

    According to question ,

    Average annual rate =
    1600
    		×
    1000
    		%
    70005

    Average annual rate =

    		%
    7
    ∴ (Amount at 6%) : (Amount at 4%) =
    4
    		:
    10
    		= 2 : 5
    77

    ∴ Sum lent at 6% = Rs.700 ×
    2
    7

    Hence, Sum lent at 6% = Rs. 2000.

    Ratio of boys and girls = 17 : 8
    Total ratios of boys and girls = 17 + 8 = 25
    ∴ Number of boys = 50 ×
    17
    25

    Therefore ,Number of boys = 34.

    Average money per head (boy or girl) = Rs. (675 / 75) = Rs. 9


    Correct Option: A

    Average money per head (boy or girl) = Rs. (675 / 75) = Rs. 9
    Number of boys = 4 / (4 + 11) × 75 = 20
    Number of girls = 11 / (4 + 11) × 75 = 55.

    Given :- Ratio = 2 : 3 , C1 = 15 kg , C2 = 20 kg and Mean cost Price = Z
    Using the alligation rule ,

    C2 – Z
    		 =
    2
    Z – C13
    20 – Z
    		 =
    2
    Z – 153

    Correct Option: A

    Given :- Ratio = 2 : 3 , C1 = 15 kg , C2 = 20 kg and Mean cost Price = Z
    Using the alligation rule ,

    C2 – Z
    		 =
    2
    Z – C13
    20 – Z
    		 =
    2
    Z – 153
    ∴ Z = Rs. 18 per kg.
