a) $1/5$
b) $1/7$
c) $1/4$
d) $1/3$

Question : 2
Two vessels A and B contain milk and water mixed in the ratio 8 : 5 and 5 : 2 respectively. The ratio in which these two mixtures be mixed to get a new mixture containing 69$3/13$% milk is:
a) 5 : 7
b) 2 : 7
c) 5 : 2
d) 3 : 5
Answer »Answer: (b)
Milk in the resulting mixture = $9/13$
= ${65 - 63}/{7 × 13} = 2/{7 × 13}$
Required ratio
= $2/{7 × 13} : 1/13$ = 2 : 7
Question : 3
There are three containers of equal capacity. The ratio of Sulphuric acid to water in the first container is 3 : 2, that in the second container is 7 : 3 and in the third container it is 11 : 4. If all the liquids are mixed together, then the ratio of Sulphuric acid to water in the mixture will be :
a) 60 : 29
b) 59 : 29
c) 61 : 28
d) 61 : 29
Answer »Answer: (d)
In the new vessel, we have.
Sulphuric acid
= $3/5 + 7/10 + 11/15$
=${18 + 21 + 22}/30 = 61/30$
Water = $2/5 + 3/10 + 4/15$
= ${12 + 9 + 8}/30 = 29/30$
Sulphuric acid : Water
= $61/30 : 29/30$= 61 : 29
Question : 4
In a mixture of 75 litres, the ratio of milk to water is 2 : 1. The amount of water to be further added to the mixture so as to make the ratio of the milk to water 1 : 2 will be
a) 75 litres
b) 80 litres
c) 60 litres
d) 45 litres
Answer »Answer: (a)
In 75 litres of the mixture,
Milk = $2/3$ × 75 = 50 litres
Water = $1/3 × 75$ = 25 litres
Let x litres of water be added.
Then, $50/{x + 25} = 1/2$
x + 25 = 100
x = 75 litres
Question : 5
The ratio of copper and zinc in brass is 13 : 7. How much zinc will be there in 100 kg of brass ?
a) 35 kg.
b) 40 kg.
c) 55 kg.
d) 20 kg.
Answer »Answer: (a)
In 20 gm of brass, quantity of zinc = 7gm
In 100 gm of brass, quantity of zinc = 7 × 5 = 35 gm.
Question : 6
Zinc and copper are in the ratio 5 : 3 in 400 gm of an alloy. How much of copper (in grams) should be added to make the ratio 5 : 4?
a) 72
b) 200
c) 66
d) 50
Answer »Answer: (d)
In 400 gm of alloy,
Zinc = $5/8 × 400$ = 250 gm.
Copper = $3/8 × 400 = 150$ gm.
If x gm of copper be mixed, then
$250/{150 + x} = 5/4$
750 + 5x = 1000
5x = 1000 - 750 = 250
x = 50 gm.
