Question 176 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A bucket contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in the proportion 7:5. If 9 litres of mixture is replaced by 9 liters of liquid B, then the ratio of the two liquids becomes 7:9 .How much of the liquid A was there in the bucket?
A
25 liters
B
21 liters
C
23 liters
D
27 liters
Question 176 Explanation: 
Suppose the can initially contains 7x and 5x litres of mixtures A and B respectively. When 9 litres of mixture are drawn off, quantity of A in mixture left:

\begin{align} & \left[ {7x - \left( {\frac{7}{{12}}} \right) \times 9} \right] = \left[ {7x - \left( {\frac{{21}}{4}} \right)} \right]\, {\text{litres}} \cr & {\text{Similarly quantity of B in mixture left}}, \cr & \left[ {5x - \left( {\frac{5}{{12}}} \right) \times 9} \right] = \left[ {5x - \left( {\frac{{15}}{4}} \right)} \right]\, {\text{litres}} \cr & \therefore \, {\text{ratio becomes}}, \cr & \frac{{\left[ {7x - \left( {\frac{{21}}{4}} \right)} \right]}}{{\left[ {5x - \left( {\frac{{15}}{4}} \right)} \right]}} = \frac{7}{9} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{\left( {28x - 21} \right)}}{{\left( {20x + 21} \right)}} = \frac{7}{9} \cr & \Rightarrow \left( {252x - 189} \right) = 140x + 147 \cr & \Rightarrow 112x = 336 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 3 \cr & {\text{So the can contained}}, \cr & 7 \times x \cr & = 7 \times 3 \cr & = 21\, {\text{litres of A initially}}{\text{.}} \cr\end{align}

Question 177 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In an innings of a cricket match, three players A, B and C scored a total of 361 runs. If the ratio of the number of runs scored by A to that scored by B and also number of runs scored by B to that scored by C be 3 : 2, the number of runs scored by A was =?
A
181
B
161
C
171
D
185
Question 177 Explanation: 
Given total runs of A, B, C (A + B + C = 361) \begin{align} & \Rightarrow {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 3:2 \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 3:2 \cr & \underline {\overline {\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 9:6:4{\text{ }}} } \cr & \therefore 9x + 6x + 4x = 361 \cr & \Rightarrow 17x = 361 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 19 \cr & \therefore {\text{Runs scored by A }} \cr & = 9x \cr & = 9 \times 19 \cr & = 171 \cr\end{align}
Question 178 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The students of three classes are in the ratio 4 : 6 : 9. If 12 students are increased in each class the ratio changes to 7 : 9 : 12. Then the total number of students in the three classes before the increase is =?
A
114
B
76
C
95
D
141
Question 178 Explanation: 
Let originally were 4x, 6x and 9x student there in classes receptively.

After 12 students increase in each student then students were 7x, 9x and 12x in each class respectively.

Now, Total Students = 7x + 9x + 12x

4x + 6x + 9x + 3*12 = 28x

9x = 3*12

x = 4.

Then total number of student in three classes, = 4x + 6x + 9x = 19x = 19 * 4 = 76.

Question 179 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Tom is chasing Jerry. In the same interval of time Tom jumps 8 times while Jerry jumps 6 times. But the distance covered by Tom in 7 Jumps is equal to the distance covered by Jerry in 5 Jumps. The ratio of speed of Tom and Jerry is:
A
28 :15
B
48 :35
C
24 :20
D
20 :21
Question 179 Explanation: 

Given;

7 jumps of Tom = 5 jumps of Jerry.

Or, Tom / Jerry = 5/7;

Let Jerry's 1 leap = 7 meter and Tom's 1 leap = 5 meter.

Then, ratio of speed of Tom and Jerry = 8*5/6*7 = 40/42 = 20 :21.

Question 180 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ratio of the numbers of boys and girls in a school was 5 : 3. Some new boys and girls were admitted to the school, in the ratio 5 : 7. At this, the total number of students in the school became 1200 and the ratio of boys to girls changed to 7 : 5. The number of students in the school before new admissions was =?
A
720
B
900
C
700
D
960
Question 180 Explanation: 
\begin{align} & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, {\text{A}}:{\text{B}} \cr & \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, 5:3 \cr & {\text{Let }}5x:3x = 8x \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{New comers}} \cr & 5y:7y = 12y \cr & \therefore 8x + 12 = 1200 \cr & \Rightarrow 2x + 3y = 300.....(i) \cr & {\text{Again, }}\frac{{5x + 5y}}{{3x + 7y}} = \frac{7}{5} \cr & 25x + 25y = 21x + 49y \cr & \Rightarrow 4x - 24y = 0 \cr & \Rightarrow 4x = 24y \cr & \Rightarrow x = 6y.....(ii) \cr & \therefore {\text{From equation }}.....(i) \cr & 12y + 3y = 300 \cr & y = 20 \cr & \therefore x = 6 \times 20 = 120 \cr\end{align} The number of students initially

8x = 8 $\times$ 120 = 960
