Answer : 1. "2 lit"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 2 lit Explanation: Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres. After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture. Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72 Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.

Answer : 2. "5"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 5 Explanation: Let M, N and O worked together for x days. From the given data,M alone worked for 8 daysM,N,O worked for x daysN, O worked for 1 day But given thatM alone can complete the work in 18 daysN alone can complete the work in 36 daysO alone can complete the work in 54 days The total work can be the LCM of 18, 6, 54 = 108 units M's 1 day work = 108/18 = 6 unitsN's 1 day work = 108/36 = 3 unitsO's 1 day work = 108/54 = 2 units Now, the equation is8 x 6 + 11x + 5 x 1 = 10848 + 11x + 5 = 10811x = 103 - 4811x = 55x = 5 days. Hence, all M,N and O together worked for 5 days.

Answer : 1. "55 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 55 kms Explanation: Let x and y be the respective km's travelled by man via taxi and by his own car.Given x + y = 90 => x = 90 - yBut according to the question,7x + 6y = 5957(90-y) + 6y = 595=> 630 - 7y + 6y = 595=> y = 630 - 595 = 35=> x = 90 - 35 = 55Therefore, the distance travelled by taxi is 55 kms.

Answer : 3. "35 days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 35 days Explanation: Distance d = 1200kmlet S be the speed he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs. S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph given 1 1/2 of previous speedso 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7 New speed = 12/7kmph Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day. time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs=> 490/14 = 35 days So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.
