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 :
Explanation :

You should have recorded in your cash books all amounts you have actually received and payments you have actually made. However the cash books may be incomplete as your bank may have put extra transactions through your account such as: ► bank fees or interest charges► direct debits (payments) and direct credits (receipts). Doing a regular bank reconciliation will allow you to: ► take into account any extra transactions your bank puts through your account and► check and record any errors or omissions. By regularly doing a bank reconciliation (say monthly) you can be more confident that your records contain all the information you need to prepare your income tax return and activity statements.

Answer : 4. "z < x < y"
Explanation :

Answer: D) z < x < y Explanation: x = √8 - √7 = 1/(√8 + √7) and y = √6 - √5 = 1/(√6 + √5) and z = √10 - 3 = 1/(√10 + 3) As (√8 + √7) > (√6 + √5), (√8 - √7) < (√6 - √5) As (√10 + 3) > (√8 + √7) > (√6 + √5) z < x < y.
