Answer : 2. "8 hours"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8 hours Explanation: Efficiency of Inlet pipe A = 4.16%       10024    Efficiency of Inlet pipe B = 5.83%      1001717     Therefore, Efficiency of A and B together = 100 %      Now, if the efficiency of outlet pipe be x% then in 10 hours the capacity of tank which will be filled = 10 *  (10 - x)   Now, since this amount of water is being emptied by 'C' at x% per hour, then    10x10-xx=2.5 hrs   => x = 8    Therefore, in 10 hours 20% tank is filled only. Hence, the remaining 80% of the  capacity will be filled by pipes A and B  in 80/10 = 8 hours

Answer : 2. "14 men"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 14 men Explanation: M x T / W = Constantwhere, M= Men (no. of men)T= Time takenW= Work loadSo, here we applyM1 x T1/ W1 = M2 x T2 / W2Given that, M1 = 4 men, T1 = 7 hours ; T2 = 2 hours, we have to find M2 =?Note that here, W1 = W2 = 1 road, ie. equal work load.Clearly, substituting in the above equation we get, M2 = 14 men.

Answer : 2. "11:9"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 11:9 Explanation: From the given data,   The part of honey in the first mixture = 1/4   The part of honey in the second mixture = 3/4   Let the part of honey in the third mixture = x   Then,   1/4             3/4              x   (3/4)-x     x-(1/4)    Given from mixtures 1 & 2 the ratio of mixture taken out is 2 : 3   => 34-xx-14=23   => Solving we get the part of honey in the third mixture as 11/20   => the remaining part of the mixture is water = 9/20   Hence, the ratio of the mixture of honey and water in the third mixture is 11 : 9 .

Q: In a pot, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk, the pot would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the pot ? 7792 0

Answer : 2. "22 lit"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 22 lit Explanation: Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44. The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.
