Question : The radius of two spheres is in the ratio of 1 : 5. What is the ratio of the volume of the two spheres?
Option 1: 8 : 27
Option 2: 1 : 25
Option 3: 1 : 125
Option 4: 1 : 64
Correct Answer: 1 : 125
Solution : Let the radii r1 = $k$ and r2 = 5$k$ According to the question, ⇒ Volume of sphere 1 (V1) = $\frac{4}{3}\pi k^{3}$ ⇒ Volume of sphere 2 (V2) = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (5k)^{3}$ = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (125)k^{3}$ ⇒ Ratio of volumes = $\frac{V1}{V2}$
Question : Two vessels of equal capacity, and both completely filled, contain mixtures of milk and water in the ratio of 5 : 1 and 6 : 5, respectively. Both the mixtures are now mixed thoroughly. What is the ratio of milk to water in the new mixture so obtained?

Option 2: 57 : 41
Option 3: 91 : 41
Option 4: 28 : 43
Correct Answer: 91 : 41
Solution : Given: Ratio of milk and water in 1st vessel = 5 :1 The ratio of milk and water in 2nd vessel = 6 : 5 Let both the vessels have $x$ litres of mixtures. Total quantity of milk = $\frac{5x}{6}+ \frac{6x}{11}=\frac{91x}{66}$ Total quantity

Option 1: 50%
Option 2: 40%
Option 3: 20%
Option 4: 30%
Correct Answer: 50%
Solution : According to the question, Initial Value (2012) = 28 Final Value (2013) = 14 $\therefore$ Percentage Decrease $=\frac{\text{ Initial Value – Final Value}}{\text{ Initial Value }} × 100 = \frac{ 28 – 14}{ 28} ×100 = \frac{ 14}{ 28}×100 = 50\%$ Hence, the correct answer

Option 4: 5.5
Correct Answer: 8
Solution : 1.65 × 1.65 × 1.65 + 0.35 × 0.35 × 0.35 + 3.465 = (1.65)3 + (0.35)3 + 3 × 1.65 × 0.35 × (1.65 + 0.35) Using $(a + b)^3 = a^3+b^3 + 3ab (a+b)$ = (1.65 + 0.35)3 = 2
