Question : 6 [SSC SO 2005]

In 50 gm alloy of gold and silver, the gold is 80% by weight. How much gold should be mixed to this alloy so that the weight of gold would become 95% ?

a) 10 gm

b) 200 gm

c) 150 gm

d) 50 gm

Answer: (c)

Initial quantity of gold

= ${50 × 80}/100$ = 40 gm

Let 'x ' gm be mixed.

$(40 + x) = (50 + x) × 95/100$

$40 + x =(50 + x) × 19/20$

800 + 20x = 950 + 19x

x = 150 gm

Question : 7 [SSC CHSL 2010]

40 litres of a mixture of milk and water contains 10% of water, the water to be added, to make the water content 20% in the new mixture is :

a) 5 litres

b) 6 litres

c) 6.5 litres

d) 5.5 litres

Answer: (a)

Water content in 40 litres of mixture = $40 × 10/100$ = 4 litres

Milk content = 40 – 4 = 36 litres

Let x litres of water is mixed.

Then, ${4 + x}/{40 + x} = 20/100$

${4 + x}/{40 + x} = 1/5$

20 + 5x = 40 + x

4x = 20 ⇒ x = 5 litres
