Explanations:
1. In 4 litres mixture, the quantity of water = 20% of 4 = 0.8 litres and the quantity of milk = 80% of 4 = 3.2
litres
In 20% of the mixture i.e. 20% of 4 = 0.8 litres, the quantity of milk = 80% of 0.8 = 0.64 litres The
quantity of water = 20% of 0.8 = 0.16 litres
She adds the same quantity of water,
In the new mixture, the quantity of milk = (3.2 – 0.64) = 2.56 litres The
quantity of water = (0.8 – 0.16 + 0.8) = 1.44 litres
Total quantity of mixture = 4 litres
Let she require x litres of water then 40% of (4 + x) = 2.56 1.6 +
0.4x = 2.56
0.4x = 2.56 – 1.6 = 0.96
x = 2.4 litres
Hence, option B is correct.
2. By rule of egatio ,

/ \
(x – 24) (36 – x)
x – 24 = 1
36 – x 2
2x – 48 = 36 – x
3x = 84; x = 84 = 28
3
Total price of rice = 2100 = Rs.1680

1.25
Therefore, total quantity of mixture of rice = 1680 = 60 kg

28
So, required quantity of rice of Rs. 24 per kg = 2 × 60 = 40 kg

3
Hence, option C is correct.
3. Initial quantity of milk in the vessel
= 208 × 11 = 143 litres
16
Initial quantity of water in the vessel = 208 × 5 = 65 litres

16
So, ‘8x’ litres mixtures contains 5.5x litres milk and 2.5x litres water
According to the question,

143 – 5.5x =4
65 – 2.5x + 3x – 4 3
429 – 16.5x = 244 + 2x

18.5x = 185 ; x = 10
So, the final quantity of milk = 143 – 55 = 88 litres

Final quantity of water = 65 – 25 + 30 – 4 = 66 litres
So, the difference between the final quantities of
milk and water in the vessel = 88 – 66 = 22 litres
4. Let, the amount of liquid A and liquid B initially in the

container = ‘12x’ litres and ‘13x’ litres, respectively
And, the amount of liquid taken out from the
container = ‘y’ litres
Also, the amount of liquid A, liquid B and liquid C after adding liquid C in the container = ‘24z’ litres,
‘26z’ litres and ‘29z’ litres, respectively
So, 25x = 79z + 10

And 25x – 50z = y
y + 50z = 25x
y + 50z = 79z + 10
29z+ =1012y + 146
y = 29z
Also,
25
29z = y – 10
y – 10 = 12y + 146
25
13y = 156
25
y = 300
So, 300 = 29z + 10 ; z = 10
Therefore, 25x = 790 + 10
x = 32
So, the amount of liquid B initially in the container = 32 × 13 = 416 litres
Hence, option A is correct.
5. Amount of milk poured into C from vessel A and B
= 2 × 3 + 3 × 2 = 16 litres
5 3 5
Also, amount of water poured into C from vessels A and B = 5 – 16 = 9 litres

5 5
Given, 5 litres represent 40% of the capacity of vessel C, vessel C has a capacity of = 5 × 5 = 12.5 litres
2
To make the quantities of water and milk same in the vessel C, quantity of water to be added
= 16 – 9 = 7 litres
5 5 5
Therefore, reqd. answer = 7/5 = 14

12.5 125
Hence, option D is correct.
6. Using allegation conept,

1 in the ratio correspond to 18 litres.
4 in the ratio will correspond to = 18 × 4 = 72 litres
Total capacity of the tank = 72 + 18 = 90 litres.
8. Let the quantity of mixture A initially be ‘x’ litres
0.8x + ( 137 ) (78) = 92
0.8x + 42 = 92
x = 500 = 62.5 litres

8
Hence, option E is correct.
9. He sells the mixture at the cost price of pure milk.
Profit = 33.33%
Profi = 1
t
Cost 3
Profit is due to water and cost is due to pure milk
So Water : Milk = 1 : 3
Concentration of milk in mixture = 75% = (34)

Using allegations

100
⇒ 10000 × 0.36A = A(100 – A)2

⇒ 3600 = (100 – A)2
⇒ 100 – A = 60
⇒ A = 40
14. It is given that selling price of mixture is S mix = Rs 2
And Profit percentage on this S mix = 80%
So, cost price of mixture C mix = 100 × 2 = 10

180 9
Cost of milk given is 100

9
and we find that cost of mixture is 10% of cost of pure milk

10
= 9 × 100 = 10%
100
9
Also, cost of mixture is proportional to the quantity of milk in mixture. Therefore, we can say that lot of
water is mixed in milk to form a mixture due to which price has gone down to 10% of pure milk, which
means 90% is water and 10% milk.
So, the ratio of milk to water is 1 : 9.
Hence, option (B) is correct.

15.
In 56 kg of first mixture, Tea = 56 × 5

In 44 kg of second mixture, Tea = 44 × 3

4
= 33 kg and impurity = 44 – 33 = 11 kg
In large container quantity of pure tea = 40 + 33 + 17 = 90 kg

In large container quantity of impurity = 16 + 11 = 27 kg
Required ratio = 90 : 27 = 10 : 3

29. Let the required volume of water to be added = x ml
When added to 7 ml lotion, the total volume = “7 + x” ml
If the lotion contains 70% alcohol, then it contains 30% water
If it contains 35% alcohol, it contains 65% water.
By balancing the volume of water before and after dilution of

the lotion, we get :
(Amount of water in lotion before dilution) + (amount of water added) = (amount of water in lotion
after dilution)
(30% of 7) + x = (65% of “7 + x”)
7 7+x
⇒(30 × ) + x = 65100
× 100
⇒ 210 + 100x = 65 × (7 + x)
⇒ 210 + 100x = 455 + 65x
⇒ 35x = 245
⇒x=7
Hence, option (C) is correct.
Alternate method:-
7 ml lotion contains 70% alcohol , it
means 4.9 ml alcohol is
there.
Now we need to add water in the

lotion to make the
percentage of alcohol to 35
Since we are not adding any alcohol so the quantity of alcohol in the final lotion will be same as initial
quantity of alcohol which is 4.9 ml
So, 35% = 4.9
100% = 14
It means in 14 ml lotion the alcohol is 35%.
Initially there was 7ml lotion but the final lotion required is 14ml. So we
need to add ( 14 - 7) = 7ml of water.

38. Let the quantity of solution A be 9x ⇒ Water : Acid = 5x : 4x
B = 25kg ⇒ Water : Acid = 15 : 10
Additional 32 kg acid is also added Now,
Total acid = 66 2 % of total solution (66 2 % = 2)

3 3 3
4x + 10 + 32 = 2 × (9x + 25 + 32)
3
By, solving the above equation, we get
x=2
Hence, quantity of solution A = 9 × 2 = 18kg
Hence, Option A is correct.
39. CP of mixture = 12.3/1.2 = Rs. 10.25 per kg
Let x kg of wheat costing Rs. 15 per kg be used.
∴15x + 7(38) = (x + 38)(10.25)

∴15x + 266 = 10.25x + 389.5
∴4.75x = 123.5
∴x = 26
40. Before first replacement, milk = 12 litres and water = 8 litres
When 10 litres of mixture is removed, amount of milk removed = (3/5) × 10 = 6 litres and amount of
water removed = 4 litres.
∴Amount of milk after first replacement = 12 − 6 + 10 = 16 litres and amount of water after first
replacement = 8 − 4 = 4 litres.
Now, when 10 litres of mixture is removed, amount of milk removed = (16/20) × 10 = 8 litres and
amount of water removed = 2 litres.
∴Amount of milk after second replacement = 16 − 8 + 10 = 18 litres and amount of water after second
replacement = 4 − 2 = 2 litres.
∴Required ratio = 18 : 2 = 9 : 1
41. Let the selling price be Rs. 300.
So profit is Rs. 200 and therefore cost price is Rs. 100.
Cost price increased by 10% => New cost price = Rs. 110
Selling price increased by 12% => New selling price = Rs.
336
New profit = Rs. (336 - 110) = Rs. 226

So, Profit increase = Rs. (226 - 200) = Rs. 26
% profit increase = (26/200) × 100 = 13%
Hence option E is correct.
42. Initially there was Cranberry juice.
The mixture now contains 19 % apple juice.

/ \
(5/13 – 3/11) (5/9 – 5/13)
= 16/143 = 20/117
16 20
⇒ 143 : 117 = 36 : 55
55
∴Amount of M2 in 364 kg = 91 × 364 = 220 kg
Now, amount of P2 in M2 = 3 × 220 = 60 kg

45. Assuming x litres of pulp part in the 80 L juice.
Liquid part = (80 – x) L
70% of liquid part taken out and 30% of pulp part
remaining pulp = x × (100 – 30)% = 0.7x
Remaining liquid = (80 – x) × (100 – 70)% = 24 – 0.3x
given: 55% of juice is empty
⇒ 45% of juice is left = 80 × 45% = 36 L
From above: remaining pulp + remaining liquid =

remaining juice
⇒ 0.7x + 24 – 0.3x = 36L
⇒ 0.4x = 12 ⇒ x = 30L

13x = 2574
x = 2574 = 198
13
So, the value of x is 198
47. Percentage of milk in mixture X = 87.5%
So, ratio of milk to water in mixture X = 7 : 1
Let the initial quantity of milk and water in mixture X be ‘7a’ litres and ‘a’ litres
As milk and water both become 50% each,

So, a + 12 = 7a ; 6a = 12 ; a = 2 litres
So, initial quantity of mixture X = (7a + a) = 8a = 16 litres
Quantity of milk in mixture Y = 16 litres
3
So, quantity of water in mixture Y = × 16 = 12 litres

11
According to the question

7x – 14 = 5
4x – 8 + 22 6
7x – 14 5
⇒ 4x + 14 = 6
⇒ 42x – 84 = 20x + 70
⇒ 22x = 154
154
⇒ x = 22
⇒x=7
Quantity of milk in the original mixture = 7x = 7 × 7 = 49 litres.

50. Let the amount of alcohol and water in the initial mixture is 5x litres and 6x litres respectively.
Amount of alcohol in 33 litres of mixture
