Answer : 4. "14 min 40 sec."
Explanation :

Answer: D) 14 min 40 sec. Explanation: Part filled in 4 minutes = 4(1/15 + 1/20) = 7/15   Remaining part = 1 - 7/15 = 8/15   Part filled by B in 1 minute = 1/20   1/20 : 8/15 :: 1 : k   k = (8/15 )x 1 x 20 = 10( 2/3) min = 10 min 40 sec.   The tank will be full in (4 min. + 10 min. 40 sec) = 14 min 40 sec.

Answer : 2. "2 : 1"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2 : 1 Explanation: Given that train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds. Let the length of train K be Lk and that of train L be Ll given that Lk = 3/4 Ll As the train K and L crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 80 seconds respectively, => Speed of train K = sk = Lk/30 Speed of train L = sl = Ll/80 Lk = 3/4 Ll => sk = 3/4 Ll/(30) = Ll/40 Ratio of their speeds = sk : sl = Ll/40 : Ll/80 => 1/40 : 1/80  =  2 : 1

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.
