11563.Fresh Grapes contain 90% water by wt. Dried grapes contain 20% water by %age. What will b wt of dried grapes when we begin with 20 kg fresh grapes?
4 kg
2.5 kg
3.5 kg
None of these
Explanation:

According to the question, In 20 kg there was 18 kg water and the rest 2 kg was pure grapes which will never reduce.

So, when the grapes get dried and there is only 20% water then rest 80 kg will be pure grapes which is 2 kg.

Let x be total quantity then -----x $\times$ 80/100 = 2.

On solving, we get x=2.5

Hence, the required weight of grapes = 2.5 kg.

11564.The ratio of the ages of aunt Agatha and uncle roger is 5:6, the same as the ratio of the ages of their children,suzaman and beard. If the sum of the ages of Suzanne and aunt Agatha, five years ago, was 60, what will be the sum of the ages of Bernard and uncle roger five years hence?
65
90
85
94
Explanation:

According to the question,

Aunt/uncle=5x/6x and Suzanne/beard = 5y/6y.

So, Aunt + Suzanne = 5x + 5y

Before 5 years= 5(x + y) - 10 = 60x + y = 14.

Again,

After 5 years, uncle + beard = 6(x+y) + 5 + 5 = 6(14) + 10 = 94.

11565.Find in what ratio will the total wages of the workers of a factory be increased or decreased, if there be a reduction in the ratio 15:11, and a increment in the wages in the ratio 22:25.
6/5
7/5
5/6
5/11
Explanation:

Given, Reduction in wage is =15:11

and, Increment in wage is = 22:25

Total wages ratio = reduction workers ratio* increment wage ratio.

=> (15/11) $\times$ (22/25) = 6/5.

Hence, the total wages ratio = 6/5.

11566.If a certain sum of money at Simple interest doubles itself in 5 years, then what is the rate?
5%
20%
25%
14.8%
Explanation:

Let the principal be 100.

Then, Amount = 200, SI=100

SI=p $\times$ n $\times$ r/100.

=> r=100 $\times$ si/p $\times$ n.

=> r=100 $\times$ 100/100 $\times$ 5.

=> r=20.

11567.The young MBA son of a colour TV manufacturer wanted to position his CTV at par with Samsung and hiked the price of the CTV by 15%. To his fathers surprise, the sale of CTVs in terms of numbers went down by 15%. What was the net effect on the sales revenue of CTVs for the company?
No effect
1.5% increase
2.25% decrease
2.25% increase
Explanation:

Suppose each tv costs 100rs a sales were 100 in number, therefore revenue is 10000.

After hiking price by 15% each tv costs 115rs due to sales decreased by 15% which are 85 in number,

therefore revenue now, is 9775.

Therefore, revenue in % = (9775/1000) $\times$ 100 => 97.75%

Initial revenue percent is 100 => 100-97.75 = 2.25% decrease.

11568.What is the least amount that a person can have, such that when he distributes it in to groups of Rs.16 or Rs18 or Rs20 or Rs25, He is always left with Rs 4?
Rs1,796
Rs1,804
Rs2,596
Rs3,604
Explanation:

The of given amount = LCM (16,18,20,25) =3600

And, he left with Rs. 4.

Hence, the required amount is 3600 + 4 = 3604.

11569.A rectangular tank can hold k liters of water. How many liters of water can tank hold if all dimensions doubles.
8k liters
12k liters
7k liters
9k liters
Explanation:

Let dimensions of tank are x $\times$ y $\times$ z = xyz.

So xyz can hold k liters of water.

Now dimensions are doubled i.e 2x $\times$ 2y $\times$ 2z=8xyz

As xyz holds k liters, so 8xyz will hold 8 $\times$ k = 8k liters of water.

11570.If radius of cylinder and sphere are same and volume of sphere and cylinder are same, what is the ratio between the radius and height of the cylinder?
R= H
R= (3/4) H
R = (4/3) H
R=2/3H
Explanation:

Volume of cylinder = h $\times$ Pi $\times r^2$

Volume of sphere= (4/3) $\times$ pi$\times r^3$.

=> (4/3) $\times$ pi $\times r^3$ = h $\times$ Pi $\times r^2 $

=> (4/3) $\times$ r = h

=> r= h $\times$ 3/4.

11571.For what value of `k` will the equation ($2kx^2$ + 5kx +2)=0 have equal roots?
2/7
9/4
16/25
7/1
Explanation:

For the roots to be equal, $b^2$-4ac = 0 is the condition.

Here, from the equation,

a=2k, b=5k and c=2

=> $(5k)^2$-4(2k) (2) =0

=> $25k^2$-16k=0

=> k(25k-16) =0

=> k=16/25.

11572.Pure Milk contains 89% water. How much water should be added to form a sample of 22 litre containing 90% water?
2 liters
5 liters
3 liters
1 liter
Explanation:

A sample of 22 liter containing 90% water will have 10% milk i.e. 2.2-liter milk.

2.2-liter milk in a mixture of 11% milk means total mixture is 100 $\times$ 2.2/11= 20 liter.

So, 2-liter water should be added in 20-liter mixture of 89% water to make it 22-liter mixture having 90% water.
