Answer : 4. "9:1"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 9:1 Explanation: Milk = 3/5 x 20 = 12 liters, water = 8 liters If 10 liters of mixture are removed, amount of milk removed = 6 liters and amount of water removed = 4 liters. Remaining milk = 12 - 6 = 6 liters Remaining water = 8 - 4 = 4 liters 10 liters of pure milk are added, therefore total milk = (6 + 10) = 16 liters. The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 16:4 = 4:1 If the process is repeated one more time and 10 liters of the mixture are removed, then amount of milk removed = 4/5 x 10 = 8 liters. Amount of water removed = 2 liters. Remaining milk = (16 - 8) = 8 liters. Remaining water = (4 -2) = 2 liters. Now 10 lts milk is added => total milk = 18 lts The required ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained = (8 + 10):2 = 18:2 = 9:1.

Answer : 1. "100"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 100 Explanation: Given 373+353+283-3x37x35x28372+352+282-37x35-35x28-37x28 It is in the form of a3+b3+c3-3abca2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca= a + b + c Here a = 37, b = 35 & c = 28 => a + b + c = 37 + 35 + 28 = 100 Therefore, = 100

Answer : 1. "1900"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1900 Explanation: Given 2000 ---- 54 days The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days. i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days => m x 20 = 2000 x 39 m = 3900 So total men for 20 days is 3900 => 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement. Hence, reinforcement = 1900.

Answer : 1. "0"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 0 Explanation: The probability of an impossible event is 0. The event is known ahead of time to be not possible, therefore by definition in mathematics, the probability is defined to be 0 which means it can never happen. The probability of a certain event is 1.

Answer : 1. "3/91"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Answer : 4. "Rs. 1232"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Rs. 1232 Explanation: Let Cost Price(C.P) = Pgain% = {(S.P-C.P)/C.P} x 10025 = {(1540-P)/P} x 10025/100 = (1540-P)/P=> P = 4(1540)-4P=> 5P = 4(1540)=> P = 1232So, Cost Price = Rs. 1232
