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).
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
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= 50 20 = 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 = 480 270 = 210 13. 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
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[20 + 15] = 180 6[20 + 15 12] t[20 + 15] = 1.2hrs. Thus, the total time required to fill the tank is = 6+1.2 = 7.2 hrs. 14. Find the next number in the series 2, 7, 17, 37, 77, 157, 317,?

In refugees camp, there is food which can serve 160 children or 96 women. If 120 children have eaten their food, for how many women will be enough the remaining food?
A. 25 B. 30 C. 24 D. 20 Explanation: The correct answer is (C); Total Food (F) will be enough for 160 children; one child will eat = 1 160 (F) Total Food (F) will be enough for 96 women; one woman will eat = 1 96 (F) Assume, the remaining food will be enough for N women Remaining food = N [ 1 96 (F)] = (F) 120 [ 1 160 (F)] N [ 1 96 ] = 1 [120 160 ] N = 24 20. Today I received my salary and I spent 24% of it to buy new clothes and 18% of the remaining on buying fuel for my car. Then I paid for my lunch 192 dollars in the restaurant. If I left with 1500 dollars, how much did I pay for my car fuel? A. 342 dollars B. 240 dollars C. 320 dollars D. 350 dollars Explanation: The correct answer is (A); Total salary (S) The money spent to buy new clothes = 24 100 (S) Now, remaining amount = 76 100 (S) Money spent on fuel = 18 100 [ 76 100 (S)] Money spent for the food = 58 dollar
Total salary = spent to buy new clothes + spent on fuel + spent for the food + Remaing money on the hand S = 24 18 (S) + 100 100 [ 76 (S)] + 58 dollar + 1500 dollar 100 S = 0.24(S) + 0.1368(S) + 1558 dollar 0.6232(S) = 1558 dollar S = 2500 dollar Thus, money spent on fuel = 18 [ 76 18 (S)] = [ 76 (2500 dollar)] = 342 dollars 100 100 100 100 21. I had started a new startup business in small Business Administration and invested 5000$ for the whole year. I shared my idea to my friend, and 4 months later he joined me and invested 6000$. In the next year I invested 1000$ more and my friend withdrew 1000$ and at the end of two years I earned profit 2750$. If we distributed half of the total profit equally and rest in the capital ratio, how much total profit we got? A. 5500$ B. 6000$ C. 5000$ D. 4500$ Correct Ans:62900 Explanation: The correct answer is (C); I invested for the first year = 5000$ and for the next year = 5000$ + 1000$ = 6000$ My friend invested for 8 months = 70000$ and for the next year = 6000$ 1000$ = 5000$ The capital ratio is between me and my friend: [(5000 12) + (6000 12)]: [(6000 8) + (5000 12)]: [60 + 72]: [48 + 60] 72: 48 3: 2 Assume the total profit (P) Half of the profit distributed equally 1 2 [1 P] for me, and 1 2 2 [1 P] for my freind 2
Half of the profit distributed in the capital ratio 3 5 [1 P] for me, and 2 2 2 [1 P] for my freind 2 At the end of two years my profit was 2750$ = 1 2 [1 2 P] + 3 5 [1 2 P] 2750$ = 1 4 [P] + 3 10 [P] P = 5000$ 22.
