1.Two types of tea, A and B, are mixed and then sold at Rs. 40 per kg. The profit is 10% if A and B are mixed in the ratio 3 : 2, and 5% if this ratio is 2 : 3. The cost prices, per kg, of A and B are in the ratio<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

=> Let the per per kg price of both A and B type of tea is x and y. When mixed in 3:2, the profit becomes 10% at 40rs\/kg. So Cp is =40\/1.1=400\/11<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Similarly when mixed in 2:3 the profit is 5% so CP =40\/1.05=800\/21<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

So 3x+2y=400\/11\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And 2x+3y=800\/21<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now solving the two equation we will get the ratio but it will take more than 2 min so there is other way to formulate the ratio in less time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Divide the 1st equation by y and 2nd by x. We get\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3(x\/y)+2=400\/11y<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Taking x\/y=k<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

(3k+2)\/(2+(3\/k))=(400\/11y)\/(800\/21x)=21k\/22<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From this we can get the value of k=19\/24.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2.If among 200 students, 105 like pizza and 134 like burger, then the number of students who like only burger can possibly be<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So 200=105+134-x+y<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Or,x=39+y<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Number of students like only burger =134-x=134-(39+y)=95-y<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To evaluate the range of number of students like only burger we can minimize the vlaue of y.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Y can be 0 thus the upper range of number of students like only burger becomes=95-0=95.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Also y can he Maximum=200-134=66<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So lower range of number of students like only burger =95-66=29.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So the range is from 29 to 95.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. A tank is fitted with pipes, some filling it and the rest draining it. All filling pipes fill at the same rate, and all draining pipes drain at the same rate. The empty tank gets completely filled in 6 hours when 6 filling and 5 draining pipes are on, but this time becomes 60 hours when 5 filling and 6 draining pipes are on. In how many hours will the empty tank get completely filled when one draining and two filling pipes are on?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

=> Let x be the fraction of the tank filled by the inlet pipe in 1 hr y be the fraction of the tank emptied by the outlet pipe in 1 hr.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, 6x-5y=\u2159 as the tank is filled in 6 hr as from the 1st case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Similarly 5x-6y=1\/60 as in 2nd case the tank was filled in 60 hr.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We get 2 equation and from this we get x=1\/12 and y=1\/15<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now from the question 2x-y=2*1\/12-1\/15=\u2159-1\/15<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

=5-2\/30=3\/30=1\/10<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So the tank will be filled in 10 hr with 2 inlet and 1 outlet pipe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. A CAT aspirant appears for a certain number of tests. His average score increases by 1 if the first 10 tests are not considered, and decreases by 1 if the last 10 tests are not considered. If his average scores for the first 10 and the last 10 tests are 20 and 30, respectively, then the total number of tests taken by him is<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

=> This question of is very logical and it Will be difficult if we take variables and all, first catch is average increases and decrease by 1, this is the crux. Assume total test are n, when average increases by 1 then we can say 10A-(sum of first 10) will be equal to n-10. The moment you understand this it will be cakewalk. To make more clarity let\u2019s move back to basic average theorem, if all the no before Average are removed then whatever value they will left will be equally divided in the remaining no and since average is increasing so it means we are removing no before A( not necessarily all). Same case with the decrease so here (sum of last 10) – 10A will be equal to n-10. That\u2019s all,\u00a0 from above equation sum of first10 + sum of last10) =20A and that\u2019s we now 200+300 =20A, A=25 so average =25. When first 10 removed average of T11 toTN =26 and when last 10 removed then Average of T1 to T(n-10)= 24. Make this in sum form ie T11 to Tn=26(n-10) and sum of T1 to T(n-10)=24(n-10),when we will subtract this T11 toT(n-10) which is common in both will get canceled. We will get 300-200=2(n-10), 50=n-10,n=60.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
