In all the numbers, the last two digits are formed by multiplying the first two digits except In chemistry laboratory a student is given 20 liters solution which is 40 % salt. How much water shall he add to make the solution 32% salt. 40% Salt 32% Salt 20L Solution Final Solution A. 7L B. 5L C. 6L D. 8L Explanation: The correct answer is (B).

2 initially the % of salt = 40% = (Amount of salt) (Total solution) (Amount of salt) 100% = 100% (20L) Amount of salt = 8L; remember that the amount of salt not changed. In the final solution, the % of salt = 32% = Amount of water added = 5L (Amount of salt) 100% = (8L) 100% (Total solution) (20L + Amount of water added) 3.

How many additional persons he must hire so that the project will be completed at the specified date? A. 250 B. 120 C. 210 D. 150 Explanation: The correct answer is (C); Part of the work completed = 1 (Total work); Remaining work = 4 (Total work) 5 5

8 Part of the work completed = (250persons) (8 hours day ) 20days = 1 (Total work) 5 Total work = 5 hours (250persons) (8 1 day ) 20days Remaining days to complete the work= = 30days Remaining work will be completed = (Npersons) (12 hours day ) 30days = 4 (Total work) 5 (Npersons) (12 hours day ) 30days = 4 ((Total work) 5 (Npersons) (12 hours day ) 30days = 4 5 [5 hours (250persons) (8 1 day ) 20days] Npersons = 480 Addional persons = = Firefighting Reservoir Water Tank has two water supply lines one is from municipality V1 and the other is from underground V2. When municipality valve V1 fully open it can fill the tank in 9 hours and alternatively underground valve V2 can fill the tank in 12 hours. When the consumption valve opened V3 it can empty the full tank in 15 hours. All the three valves are opened at the beginning. After 6 hours, the consumption valve V3 is closed. In total, how long will it take to make the tank full? V1 V2 V3 A. 7hrs. and 20 minutes. B. 8hrs and 30minutes

9 C. 8hr and 20minutes D. 7hrs and 12minutes Explanation: The correct answer is (D); Total volume of tank = V Liters, In one hour, Valve V1 can fill= V 9 ; Valve V2 can fill= V 12 ; and Valve V3 can empty = V 15 The volume filled in 6 hrs., = 6 [ V 9 + V 12 V 15 ] Liters Valve V3 is closed after 6hrs., then let say, the tank is filled after t hrs. The water filled in the tank after t hrs., = t [ V 9 + V 12 ] Liters = V 6 [V 9 + V 12 V 15 ] Liters t [ V 9 + V 12 ] = V 6 [V 9 + V 12 V 15 ] t[ ] = 180 6[ ] t[ ] = 1.2hrs. Thus, the total time required to fill the tank is = = 7.2 hrs. 14. Find the next number in the series 2, 7, 17, 37, 77, 157, 317,?
