Question: 700 ml of a mixture contains water and milk in the ratio 2 : 8. How much water must be added to the mixture so that the ratio of water and milk becomes 3 : 8?

Solution:
Milk in the 700 ml of mixture = 700 × (8/10) = 560 ml

So, water in the mixture would be = 700 - 560 = 140 ml

Let water to be added = x ml

Now,
(140 + x)/560 = 3/8
1120 + 8x = 1680
8x = 1680 - 1120
8x= 560
x = 560/8 = 70 ml

Question: The students in three classes are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If 20 students are increased in each class, the ratio changes to 4 : 5 : 7. Originally the total number of students was-

Solution:
Let the original number of students in three classes be 2x, 3x and 5x respectively.
As given,
(2x + 20)/(3x + 20) = 4/5
⇒ 10x + 100 = 12x + 80
⇒ 12x - 10x = 100 - 80
⇒ 2x = 20
∴ x = 10

Total number of students originally = 2x + 3x + 5x
= 10x
= 10 × 10
= 100

Solution:
Let,
the salaries of A and B last year be Tk. 3x and Tk. 4x respectively.
Then,
A's present salary = Tk. (5/4) × 3x
= Tk. 15x/4

B's present salary = Tk.(3/2) × 4x
= Tk. 6x.

According to the question,
(15x/4) + 6x = 4160
⇒ 15x + 24x = 4160 × 4
⇒ 39x = 4160 × 4
⇒ x = (4160 × 4)/39

So, A's present salary = Tk. (15/4) × {(4160 × 4)/39}
= Tk.1600

ATQ,
5x/(3x + 4) = 5/4
⇒ 4 × 5x = 5 × (3x + 4)
⇒ 20x = 15x + 20
⇒ 5x = 20
⇒ x = 4

∴ দুধের পরিমাণ = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20 লিটার

Solution:
lets, the total cups sold 15
small cups = (3/5) × 15 = 9
large cups = 15 - 9 = 6

let, small cups were sold 6 taka each, then large cups were sold 7 taka each.

large cup's revenue = 7 × 6 = 42 taka
small cup's revenue = 6 × 9 = 54 taka

fraction of Tuesday's total revenue was from the sale of large cups = 42/(42 + 54)
= 42/96
= 7/16

Question: A mixture contains 2/5 of element A and 3/5 of element B. When 5 ml of A is added to the mixture, the proportion of B in the mixture changes to 1/5. What amount of A was originally present in the mixture before the addition was made?

Solution:
Let mixture be x ml.
A = (2x)/5 ml.
B = (3x)/5 ml.

After adding 5 ml of A to mixture, amount of B remained same.
And the mixure be x + 5 ml.

New B = (x + 5)/5

Now,
(3x)/5 = (x + 5)/5
⇒ 15x = 5x + 25
⇒ 10x = 25
∴ x = 2.5

Original amount of A = (2 × 2.5)/5 ml = 1 ml.

Question: A mixture contains two liquids A and B are in the ratio 2 : 1. If 6 litres of mixture is withdrawn and replaced with 6 litres of B, then the ratio becomes 3 : 2. What was the initial quantity of A?

Solution:
মনে করি,
মিশ্রণের প্রাথমিক পরিমাণ = 3X লিটার

A এর পরিমাণ = 2X লিটার
B এর পরিমাণ = X লিটার

∴ 6 লিটার মিশ্রণ তুলে নেওয়ার পর,
A এর পরিমাণ = 2X - (2/3) × 6 = (2X - 4) লিটার
B এর পরিমাণ = X - (1/3) × 6 = (X - 2) লিটার

আবার,
B তে 6 লিটার যোগ করার পর,
B এর পরিমাণ = X - 2 + 6 = (X + 4) লিটার

প্রদত্ত অনুপাত,
(2X - 4) /(X + 4) = 3/2
বা, 4X - 8 = 3X + 12
বা, X = 12 + 8
∴ X = 20

তাহলে, A এর পরিমাণ = 2 × 20 = 40 লিটার

Solution:
Let the two numbers be: 2x and 3x

According to the question,
(2x - 4)/3x = 1/2
⇒ 2(2x - 4) = 3x
⇒ 4x - 8 = 3x
⇒ x = 8

∴ First number = 2 × 8 = 16
∴ Second number = 3 × 8 = 24

Question: 100 liter solution contains 30% salt. How much water should be evaporated to make the solution 40% salt?

Solution:
100 লিটারের 30% লবণ রয়েছে, অর্থাৎ,
(30/100) × 100 = 30 লিটার লবণ

∴ পানির পরিমাণ = 100 - 30 = 70 লিটার

ধরি,
x লিটার পানি বাষ্পীভূত করতে হবে ।
তাহলে নতুন দ্রবণের পরিমাণ হবে, 100 - x লিটার

প্রশ্নমতে,
⇒ 30/(100 - x) = 40/100
⇒ 40(100 - x) = 30 × 100
⇒ 4000 - 40x = 3000
⇒ 40x = 4000 - 3000
⇒ 40x = 1000
⇒ x = 1000/40
⇒ x = 25

∴ 25 লিটার পানি বাষ্পীভূত করতে হবে যাতে লবণের পরিমাণ ৪০% হয়।

Question: In Live MCQ's class there are 12 boys and 18 girls. Write the ratio of girls : boys in its simplest form.

Solution:
The question asks for the ratio girls:boys so girls must be first and boys second. It also asks for the answer in its simplest form.

Number of girl : Number of boys = 18 : 12 = 3 : 2

The ratio 18 : 12 represents the number of girls to boys but is not in its simplest form. Ratios are typically expressed in the simplest form by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor.
Here’s the simplification process:
Original Ratio= 18 : 12
Greatest Common Divisor (GCD): The GCD of 18 and 12 is 6.
Simplify: Divide both terms by 6
18/6 : 12/6 = 3 : 2

Question: Three pots contain 100ml of water, milk, and oil respectively. 10% of the first pot is mixed with the second pot and then 20% of the second pot is mixed with the third pot. How much water is there in the third pot?

Solution:
After mixing 10% water from the first pot to the second pot,
total mixture = 100 ml + (10% of 100ml) = 110ml
in 110 ml,
water = 10ml,
milk = 100 ml,

20% of the second pot is mixed with the third pot.
20% of the second pot contains = (20% of 110) ml = 22ml mixture.

in a 22ml mixture of the second pot,
water = (10/110)22 ml = 2ml
milk = (100/110)22 ml= 20ml

Question: The ratio of milk to water in a mixture is 5 : 3. If 6 liters of milk are added to the mixture, the new ratio of milk to water becomes 8 : 3. Find the final amount of milk in the new mixture.

Solution:
Let the initial amount of milk be 5x liters
and the amount of water 3x liters.

ATQ,
Ratio of milk and water after adding 6 liters of milk
(5x + 6)/3x = 8/3
⇒ 3(5x + 6) = 8 × 3x
⇒ 15x + 18 = 24x
⇒ 18 = 9x
⇒ x = 2

∴ Final amount of milk in mixture = 5x + 6
= (5 × 2) + 6
= 10 + 6 = 16 liters.

Question: An alloy of copper and nickel contains 65% copper. A second alloy contains copper and nickel in the ratio 17 : 3. In what ratio should the two alloys be mixed so that the new mixture contains 4 times as much copper as nickel?

Solution:
First alloy - 65% copper. ∴ 35% Nickel.
Ratio is 65 : 35 = 13 : 7.

2nd alloy,
Ratio is 17 : 3
∴ Proportion of copper in the 1st alloy = 13/20 and
proportion of copper in the 2nd alloy = 17/20.
Also proportion of copper in resulting alloy = 4/5.

Hence required ratio is (17/20 - 4/5) : (4/5 – 13/20) = 1 : 3.

Solution:
Let liquids A is initially 5x, liquid B is 3x litres
12 litres of mixture are drawn, remaining mixture A = 5x - (5/8) × 12 = 5x - 7.5
Remaining mixture B = 3x - (3/8) × 12 = 3x - 4.5
After filling, mixture becomes = 3x - 4.5 + 12 = 3x + 7.5
5x - 7.5/3x + 7.5 = 5/8
⇒ (40x - 60)/(24x + 60) = 5/8
⇒ 320x - 480 = 120x + 300
⇒ 200x = 780

Solution:
Let the cost of 1 litre milk be Tk. 1

Milk in 1 litre mix. in 1st can = 3/4 litre, C.P. of 1 litre mix. in 1st can Tk. 3/4
Milk in 1 litre mix. in 2nd can = 1/2 litre, C.P. of 1 litre mix. in 2nd can Tk. 1/2
Milk in 1 litre of final mix. = 5/8 litre, Mean price = Tk. 5/8

By the rule of alligation, we have:

⇒ Quantity of 2nd can : Quantity of 1st can = (3/4 - 5/8) : (5/8 - 1/2) = (6 - 5)/8 : (5 - 4)/8 = 1/8 : 1/8 = 1 : 1

∴ Quantity of mixure taken from each can = 12 × (1/2) = 6 litres

Quantity of water = (567 - 441) litres
= 126 litres

Let,
x liter of water be added to become ratio = 7 : 3

According to the question,
7/3 = 441/(126 + x)
⇒ 7(126 + x) = 441 × 3
⇒ 882 + 7x = 441 × 3
⇒ 7x = 1323 - 882
⇒ 7x = 441
⇒ x = 441/7
∴ x = 63

Therefore, 63 liters of water is to be added.

In the original 125 gallons of mixture, 20% is water.
Hence, no. of gallons of other materials in the mixture: 125 x 80% = 100 gallons
In the new mixture, water makes up 25%, thus 75% is other materials.
As no. of gallons of others is unchanged, 100 gallons = 75% in the new mixture volume.
The total volume of the new mixture is : 100 / 75% = 100/ 0.75 = 133.33 gallons.
∴ Required additional amount of water = 133.3 – 125 = 8.33 = 8(1/3) gallons

Question: A sample of 50 liters of glycerine is found to be adulterated to the extent of 20%. How much pure glycerine should be added to it so as to bring down the percentage of impurity to 5%?

Solution:
Initially, the 50 liters of glycerine is 20% adulterated. So, the pure glycerine in it is 80% of 50 liters.

Amount of pure glycerine initially = 80% of 50 liters
= 0.8 × 50
= 40 liters

Let 'x' represent the amount of pure glycerine that needs to be added to reduce the percentage of impurity to 5%.

The total volume of glycerine after adding pure glycerine will be 50 + x liters

After adding 'x' liters of pure glycerine, the total amount of pure glycerine in the mixture will be 40 + x liters (added).

Now, this total amount of pure glycerine should be 95% of the new total volume (50 liters original + x liters added), as the impurity percentage is to be reduced to 5%.

So, we can set up an equation:

Total amount of pure glycerine = 95% of total volume after adding pure glycerine

40 + x = 0.95 × 50 + 0.95 × x
⇒ 40 + x = 47.5 + 0.95x
⇒ x - 0.95x = 47.5 - 40
⇒ 0.05x = 7.5
⇒ x = 7.5 / 0.05
⇒ x = 150 liters

Question : A man bought some rice and wheat for Tk. 490. The ratio of weight of rice and wheat is 8 : 5 and the price equal amount of rice and wheat is in the ratio 3 : 5. The price of total rice = ?

Solution :
Given,
The ratio of weight of rice and wheat is = 8 : 5
The ratio of equal amount of rice and wheat is = 3 : 5

So the ratio of total price of rice and wheat is = 24 : 25
∴Total = 24 + 25
= 49

According to the question,
49 unit = Tk. 490
∴ 1 unit = Tk. 10

∴ Price of total rice = 24 × 10
= Tk. 240

Question: Which number when added to each of the numbers 7, 14 and 28 would make the sums to be in continued proportion?

Solution:
Let the number to be added is x.

If three numbers a, b, and c are in continued proportion, then,
a/b = b/c
⇒ b² = ac ..... (1)

Now,
7 + x, 14 + x, 28 + x

From (1) we get,
∴ (14 + x)² = (7 + x)(28 + x)
⇒ 14² + 2 × 14 × x + x² = 7 × 28 + 7x + 28x + x²
⇒ 196 + 35x + x² = 196 + 28x + x²
⇒ 35x = 28x
⇒ 35x - 28x = 0
⇒ 7x = 0
∴ x = 0

Question: A merchant has 1000 kg of sugar, part of which he sells at 8% profit and the rest at 18% profit. He gains 14% on the whole. The quantity sold at 18% profit is:

Solution:
Total quantity of sugar = 1000 kg

Let x kg be sold at 18% profit
Then (1000 - x) kg be sold at 8% profit

Profit from x kg at 18% = 18x/100
Profit from (1000 - x) kg at 8% = 8(1000 - x)/100

Total profit = 14% of 1000 = 14000/100 = 140

According to the question,
18x/100 + 8(1000 - x)/100 = 140
⇒ 18x + 8(1000 - x) = 14000
⇒ 18x + 8000 - 8x = 14000
⇒ 10x = 14000 - 8000
⇒ 10x = 6000
⇒ x = 600

∴ 600 kg of sugar was sold at 18% profit.

Question: In a bag, there are three types of coins- 1-tk, 50 paise and 25-paise in the ratio of 3 : 8 : 20. Their total value is 372. The total number of coins is

Solution:
Ratio of the number of coins of Re. 1, 50 paise and 25 paise = 3 : 8 : 20
Ratio of the values of these coins = 3 : (8/2) : (20/4) = 3 : 4 : 5

Value of 1 tk coins = (3/12) × 372 = 93 tk
Value of 50 paise coins = (4/12) × 372 = 124 tk
Value of 25 paise coins = (5/12) × 372 = 155 tk

Number of coins = 93 + (124 × 2) + (155 × 4)
= 93 + 248 + 620
= 961

Question: At present, the ratio of the age of Muna and Riya is 6 : 5 and fifteen years from now, the ratio will get changed to 9 : 8. Muna’s present age is-

Solution:
Let, Muna’s present age be = 6x years
and Riya’s present age be = 5x years.

After 15 years, Muna’s age be = (6x + 15) years
After 15 years, Riya’s age be = (5x + 15) years

ATQ,
(6x + 15)/(5x + 15) = 9/8
⇒ 48x + 120 = 45x + 135
⇒ 48x - 45x = 135 - 120
⇒ 3x = 15
⇒ x = 5

∴ Muna’s present age = 6x
= 6 × 5) = 30 years

Solution:
A dishonest milkman professes to sell his milk at cost price, but he mixes it with water and gains 25%

We know,
Profit = SP - CP
Let milk bought (cost price) be 1 litres at Tk. 100 and profit = 25

∴ Selling price = 100 + 25 = Tk. 125

As the selling price of 1 litre was Tk. 100(same as cost)

Quantity sold = 125/100 = 5/4 = 1.25 litre

Hence, water added = 1.25 - 1 = 0.25 litres

∴ Percentage of water = (0.25/1.20) × 100 = 20%

Solution:
Let
The present age of the friend₁ = 3x
The present age of the friend₂ = 5x

After 7 years, their ages will be,
⇒ (3x + 7)/(5x + 7) = 2/3
⇒ 10x + 14 = 9x + 21
⇒ 10x - 9x = 21 - 14
∴ x = 7

Present age of friend₁= 3x = 21 years
Present age of friend₂= 5x = 35 years

Now, after 10 years,
friend₁ age = 21 + 10 = 31 years
friend₂ age = 35 + 10 = 45 years

∴ The ratio of their ages after 10 years,
= 31 : 45

Let us assume that the lotion has 50% alcohol and 50% water.
ratio = 1:1
As the total solution is 9ml
alcohol = water = 4.5ml
Now if we want the quantity of alcohol = 30%
The quantity of water = 70%
The new ratio = 3:7

Let x ml of water be added
We get,
4.5/(4.5 + x) = 3/7
⇒ 9/(9 + 2x) = 3/7
⇒ 63 = 27 + 6x
⇒ 6x = 63 - 27
⇒ 6x = 36
⇒ x = 6

Hence 6ml of water is added.

Solution:
Given that,
Ratio of present ages of A and B = 3 ∶ 1.
Ratio of their ages 4 years ago = 4 ∶ 1.

Let the present ages of A and B be 3x and x, respectively.
Four years ago,
Age of A = 3x - 4
Age of B = x - 4

AQT,
(3x - 4)/(x - 4) = 4/1
⇒ 3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
⇒ 3x - 4 = 4x - 16
⇒ 3x - 4x = - 16 + 4
⇒ - x = - 12
∴ x = 12

∴ Present age of B = 12 years.

Solution:
Let the number of girls be x
Since the ratio of the girls to boys is 3 : 4, the number of boys = 4x/3
Hence, the number of students in the class = x + (4x/3) = 7x/3

We are given that 10% of girls are blue-eyed,
∴ 10% of x = (10/100)x = x/10
Also, 20% of the boys are blue-eyed,
∴ 20% of 4x/3 = (20/100) × (4x/3) = 4x/15

Hence, the total number of blue-eyed students = (x/10) + (4x/15)
= 11x/30

Hence, the required fraction = (11x/30)/(7x/3)
= (11 × 3)/(30 × 7)
= 11/70

Question: Two containers have mixtures of milk and water, respectively, in the ratios 5 ∶ 2 and 9 ∶ 5. In what ratio should the contents be mixed so that the ratio of milk to water in the final mixture is 2 ∶ 1?

Solution :
Let,
P unit of the first mixture is added to Q unit of the second mixture.

So, in P unit of first mixture,
Amount of milk present = (5/7) × P = 5P/7
Amount of water present = (2/7) × P = 2P/7

In Q unit of second mixture,
Amount of milk present = (9/14) × Q = 9Q/14
Amount of water present = (5/14) × Q = 5Q/14

ATQ,
{(5P/7) + (9Q/14)}/{(2P/7) + (5Q/14)} = 2/1
⇒ {(10P + 9Q)/14}/{(4P + 5Q)/14} = 2
⇒ 10P + 9Q = 8P + 10Q
⇒ 2P = Q
∴ P : Q = 1 : 2

Question: A Shopkeeper has 1000 kg of sugar, part of which he sells at 8% and the remaining at 18% profit. He gains 14% on the whole. Find the quantity of sugar that he sold at 8% profit.

Solution:
Let,
The cost price of sugar be tk. x per kg
∴ Total cost price = Tk. 1000x
The sugar sold at 8% gain by y kg
The sugar sold at 18% gain by (1000 - y) kg

Now
{(108xy)/100} + [{118x(1000 - y)}/100] = (114/100) × (1000x)
⇒ (108y)/100 + [{118(1000 - y)}/100] = (114 × 1000)/100
⇒ 108y + {118(1000 - y)} = 114 × 1000
⇒ 108y + 118000 - 118y = 114000
⇒ 118000 - 114000 = 10y

Question: In a mixture of milk and water, the ratio is 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added, the new ratio becomes 4 : 4. What was the original amount of milk in the mixture?

Solution:
ধরি, শুরুতে দুধ ছিল = 4x লিটার,
পানি ছিল = 3x লিটার।

এখন 5 লিটার পানি যোগ করলে, নতুন পানি = 3x + 5 লিটার

ATQ,
4x/(3x + 5) = 4/4
⇒ 4x/(3x + 5) = 1
⇒ 4x = 1 × (3x + 5)
⇒ 4x = 3x + 5
⇒ 4x - 3x = 5
⇒ x = 5

∴ দুধের পরিমাণ = 4x = 4 × 5 = 20 লিটার

Let
The length of a rectangular be l
The breadth of a rectangular be b

Now
l/2(l + b) = 1/3
3l = 2l + 2b
3l - 2l = 2b
l = 2b
l/b = 2/1
l : b = 2 : 1

Question: Tk. 1500 is divided into three parts in the ratio (2/3) : (3/4) : (5/6), the 2nd part is-

Solution:
A : B : C = (2/3) : (3/4) : (5/6)
= {(2/3) × 12} : {(3/4) × 12} : {(5/6) × 12}
= 8 : 9 : 10

∴ Sum of the terms of ratio = (8 + 9 + 10)
= 27

So, First part = Tk.{(9/27) × 1500}
= Tk. 500
