Answer : 1. "1900"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1900 Explanation: Given 2000 ---- 54 days The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days. i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days => m x 20 = 2000 x 39 m = 3900 So total men for 20 days is 3900 => 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement. Hence, reinforcement = 1900.

Answer : 4. "9:1"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 9:1 Explanation: Milk = 3/5 x 20 = 12 liters, water = 8 liters If 10 liters of mixture are removed, amount of milk removed = 6 liters and amount of water removed = 4 liters. Remaining milk = 12 - 6 = 6 liters Remaining water = 8 - 4 = 4 liters 10 liters of pure milk are added, therefore total milk = (6 + 10) = 16 liters. The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 16:4 = 4:1 If the process is repeated one more time and 10 liters of the mixture are removed, then amount of milk removed = 4/5 x 10 = 8 liters. Amount of water removed = 2 liters. Remaining milk = (16 - 8) = 8 liters. Remaining water = (4 -2) = 2 liters. Now 10 lts milk is added => total milk = 18 lts The required ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained = (8 + 10):2 = 18:2 = 9:1.

Answer : 2. "7 hrs"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 7 hrs Explanation: Given, P can fill in 12 hrs Q can fill in 15 hrs R can fill in 20 hrs => Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit => P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs => Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs => R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs Tank can be filled in the way that (P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + .... => Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit => In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit => In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit => So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.
