10. 8 litres are drawn from a cask full of wine and is then filled with water. This operation is performed three more times. The ratio of the quantity of wine now left in cask to that of water is 16 : 65. How much wine did the cask hold originally?
(a) 18 litres
(b) 24 litres
(c) 32 litres
(d) 42 litres
Answers:
1. (b)
The value of maximum exports = 6045.
The value of minimum imports = 87.
Therefore, the required ratio (6045/8)= 69.48 = 69 (approximately).
2. (c)
Out of a total of 12 countries, 8 showed a deficit while 4 showed a surplus.
3. (b)
Exports= 25625
Imports= 36911
Sum of exports - Sum of imports = deficit (11286).
4. (d)
Visually its clear that L has the highest trade deficit.
5. (a)
I has a ratio of 4002/2744 = 1.45, which is the highest.
6. (c)
Let the numbers be a and b.
Then, a+b= 55 and ab= 5*120= 600.
So the required sum= (1/a)+ (1/b)= (a+b)/ab=55/600= 11/120
7. (b)
Required average= (67*2+35*2+6*3)/(2+2+3)
= (134+70+18)/(7)
= 222/7
= 31 5/7 years
8. (b)
Total volume of water displaced= (4*50) cubic metre= 200 cubic metre
Rise in water level = (200/40*20)m= 0.25m= 25cm.
9. (b)
For managing, A received = 5% of Rs.7400= Rs.370
Balance= Rs.(7400-370)= Rs.7030
Ratio of their investments= (6500*6):(8400*5):(10000*3)= 39000:42000:30000
= 13:14:10
So, B's share= Rs.[7030*(14/37)] = Rs.2660
10. (b)
Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres.
Then, quantity of wine left in cask after 4 operations= [x{1-(8/x)^4}] litres
So, [x{1-(8/x)}^4]/x= 16/81
= [1-(8/x)]^4=(2/3)^4
= (x-8)/x=2/3
= 3x-24= 2x
= x=24
