Answer : 1. "193 : 122"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 193 : 122 Explanation: Given the three mixtures ratio as (1:2),(2:3),(3:4) (1+2),(2+3),(3+4) Total content = 3,5,7   Given equal quantities of the three mixtures are mixed, then LCM of 3, 5, 7 = 105 105/3 = 35 , 105/5 = 21 , 105/7 = 15   Now, the individual equal quantity ratios are (35x1, 35x2), (21x2, 21x3), (15x3, 15x4)  i.e (35,70), (42,63), (45,60)   So overall mixture ratio of milk and water is 35+42+45 : 70+63+60 122:193   But in the question asked the ratio of water to milk = 193 : 122

Answer : 1. "3/91"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91
