Question :1

Ram prepares solutions of alcohol in water according to customers' needs. This morning Ram has prepared 27 litres of a 12% alcohol solution and kept it ready in a 27 litre delivery container to be shipped to the customer. Just before delivery, he finds out that the customer had asked for 27 litres of 21% alcohol solution. To prepare what the customer wants, Ram replaces a portion of 12% solution by 39% solution. How many litres of 12% solution are replaced?

Answer: (c)

Let Ram replaces x litres of 12% sol. with 39% solution.

Now, quality of 12% sol. in 27 litre = ${27 × 12}/100$

∴ After replacing we have volume of 12% sol.

= $({27 × 12}/100 - {12x}/100 + {39x}/100) = {324 + 27x}/100$

This will be equal to 27 litre of 21% sol.

∴ ${324 + 27x}/100 = {21 × 27}/100$

∴ x = ${567 - 324}/27 = 243/27 = 9$

Hence option (b)
