Question : A mixture contains milk and water in a ratio of 5 : 3, respectively. On adding 7 litres of water, the ratio of milk to water becomes 1 : 2. Find the quantity of milk in the mixture.

Option 1: 7 litres

Option 2: 10 litres

Option 3: 5 litres

Option 4: 3 litres

Quantity of water added $=$ 7 litres
The new quantity of water in the mixture $= 3x+7$ litres
According to the question,
$\frac{(5x)}{(3x+7)} = \frac{1}{2}$

Question : The average daily income of 7 men, 11 women, and 2 boys is Rs. 257.50. If the average daily income of men is Rs. 10 more than that of women and the average daily income of women is Rs. 10 more than that of boys, then the average daily income of a man is:

Option 1: Rs. 277.5

Option 2: Rs. 250

Option 3: Rs. 265

Option 4: Rs. 257

Team Careers360 6th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 265


Solution : Let per day income of a boy, woman, and man be $x, x+10,$ and $x+20,$ respectively.
According to the question,
$\frac{\text{Total income of (7 Men + 11 Women + 2 Boys)}}{20} = 257.50$
Putting the values, we get:
$7(x+20)+11(x+10)+2x = 257.50×20$
$⇒7x+140+11x+110+2x = 5150$

Question : If $(x+\frac{1}{x}):(x-\frac{1}{x})=5 : 3$, then the value(s) of $x$ is/are:

Option 1: $\pm 1$

Option 2: $\pm 2$

Option 3: $\pm 3$

Option 4: $0$

Team Careers360 3rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\pm 2$


Solution : Given: $(x+\frac{1}{x}):(x-\frac{1}{x})=5:3$
By using Componendo and Dividendo rule, $a:b = c:d ⇒ \frac{a+b}{a–b}=\frac{c+d}{c–d}$,
where $a=x,b=\frac{1}{x},c=5,$ and $d=3$
By putting the given value of a, b, c, d in the formula, we get:
$\frac{x+\frac{1}{x}+x-\frac{1}{x}}{x+\frac{1}{x}-x+\frac{1}{x}}=\frac{5+3}{5-3}$
⇒ $\frac{2x}{\frac{2}{x}}=\frac{8}{2}$
⇒ $x^{2}=4$
$\therefore x=\pm 2$
Hence, the correct answer
