Q: Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 24 hours and 1717 hours respectively. Harihar opened the pipes A and B to fill an empty tank and some times later he closed the taps A and B , when the tank was supposed to be full. After that it was found that the tank was emptied in 2.5 hours because an outlet pipe "C" connected to the tank was open from the beginning. If Harihar closed the pipe C instead of closing pipes A and B the remaining tank would have been filled in : 8624 05b5cc7cfe4d2b419777511cc

Answer : 2. "8 hours"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 8 hours Explanation: Efficiency of Inlet pipe A = 4.16% 10024 Efficiency of Inlet pipe B = 5.83% 1001717 Therefore, Efficiency of A and B together = 100 % Now, if the efficiency of outlet pipe be x% then in 10 hours the capacity of tank which will be filled = 10 * (10 - x) Now, since this amount of water is being emptied by 'C' at x% per hour, then 10x10-xx=2.5 hrs => x = 8 Therefore, in 10 hours 20% tank is filled only. Hence, the remaining 80% of the capacity will be filled by pipes A and B in 80/10 = 8 hours

Answer : 2. "14 men"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 14 men Explanation: M x T / W = Constantwhere, M= Men (no. of men)T= Time takenW= Work loadSo, here we applyM1 x T1/ W1 = M2 x T2 / W2Given that, M1 = 4 men, T1 = 7 hours ; T2 = 2 hours, we have to find M2 =?Note that here, W1 = W2 = 1 road, ie. equal work load.Clearly, substituting in the above equation we get, M2 = 14 men.
Q: There are two mixtures of honey and water in which the ratio of honey and water are as 1:3 and 3:1 respectively. Two litres are drawn from first mixture and 3 litres from second mixture, are mixed to form another mixture. What is the ratio of honey and water in it ? 7952 05b5cc6c5e4d2b4197774ddc8

Answer : 2. "11:9"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 11:9 Explanation: From the given data, The part of honey in the first mixture = 1/4 The part of honey in the second mixture = 3/4 Let the part of honey in the third mixture = x Then, 1/4 3/4 x (3/4)-x x-(1/4) Given from mixtures 1 & 2 the ratio of mixture taken out is 2 : 3 => 34-xx-14=23 => Solving we get the part of honey in the third mixture as 11/20 => the remaining part of the mixture is water = 9/20 Hence, the ratio of the mixture of honey and water in the third mixture is 11 : 9 .
Q: In a pot, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk, the pot would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the pot ? 7814 05b5cc6d6e4d2b4197774e66f

Answer : 2. "22 lit"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 22 lit Explanation: Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44. The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.
