Answer : 1. "80%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 80% Explanation: Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm. After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm. So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%.

Answer : 3. "5040"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 5040 Explanation: The number of ways in which the letters of the word RAILINGS can be arranged such that R & S always come together is Count R & S as only 1 space or letter so that RS or SR can be arranged => 7! x 2! But in the word RAILINGS, I repeated for 2 times => 7! x 2!/2! = 7! ways = 5040 ways.

Answer : 2. "50 gm"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 50 gm Explanation: Initial quantity of copper =80100 x 50 = 40 g And that of Bronze = 50 - 40 = 10 g Let 'p' gm of copper is added to the mixture => 50 + p x 90100 = 40 + p => 45 + 0.9p = 40 + p => p = 50 g Hence, 50 gms of copper is added to the mixture, so that the copper is increased to 90%.

Answer : 3. "Rs. 445.95"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Rs. 445.95 Explanation: We know Compound Interest = C.I. = P1+r100t - 1 Here P = 2680, r = 8 and t = 2 C.I. = 26801 + 81002-1= 268027252-12= 26802725+12725-1= 2680 5225×225 = (2680 x 52 x 2)/625 = 445.95 Compound Interest = Rs. 445.95

Answer : 3. "12 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 12 kmph Explanation: The distance is constant in this case. Let the time taken for travel with a speed of 10 kmph be 't'. Now the speed of 15 kmph is 3/2 times the speed of 10 kmph. Therefore, time taken with the speed of 15 kmph will be 2t/3 (speed is inversely proportional to time) Extra time taken = t - 2t/3 = t/3 => 1pm - 11am = 2hrs => t/3 = 2h => t = 6 hrs. Now, Distance = speed x time = 10 x 6 = 60 kms Time he takes to reach at noon = 6 - 1 = 5 hrs Now, Speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.
