Quantitative Reasoning

Question No 41 Container 1: milk:water= 3:4.

Container 2: milk:water= 5:2.

Both are mixed equally. What is the new ratio of

milk and water?

A 4:3

B 3:4

C 4:5

D 5:4

E 1:1

Explanation Answer: A
Explanation:
Conventional:- write in fraction form and add. Then find ra-
tio.

Trick:- Add first ratio together (i.e. 7 in this case) and second
ratio (also 7). When both the sums are same directly add
them to get the new ratio.
So new ratio = (5+3)/(4+2) = 8:6.

Question No 42 Container 1: milk:water= 13:11.

Container 2: milk:water= 5:7.

Both are mixed equally. What is the new ratio

of milk and water?

A 4:3

B 3:4

C 23:24

D 23:25

E 1:1

Explanation Answer: D
Explanation:
Conventional:- write in fraction form and add. Then find
ratio.

Trick:- Add first ratio together (i.e. 24 in this case) and sec-
ond ratio (12 ). When sums are not same multiply and make
them same and add.
So new ratio = (10+13)/(14+11) = 23:25
It can be extended to ratio of 3 also.

 Question No 43 Container 1: m:w:c= 2:3:4
Container 2: m:w:c= 1:2:5

Both are mixed in the ratio 9:8. What is the new

ratio of m, w and c?

A 2:3:4

B 4:5:6

C 3:7:8

D 3:5:9

E 7:6:5

Explanation Answer: D
Explanation:
Conventional:- write in fraction form and add. Then find ra-
tio.

Trick:- Add first ratio together (i.e. 9 in this case) and second
ratio (also 8). Make sums equal by multiplying them by 8 and
9 respectively.
And since this has been mixed in ratio of 9:8 so multiply by
them also which will eventually lead both of them to be equal
to 72. So simply add them together
So new ratio = (2+1)/(3+2)/ (4+5) = 3:5:9

Question No 50 In a mixture of milk and water, the proportion of

milk by weight was 80%. If, in a 180 gm mixture,
36 gm of pure milk is added, what would be the
percentage of milk in the mixture formed?
A 80%

B 100%

C 84%

D 87.5%

E None of these
 Explanation Answer: E

Percentage of milk in the mixture formed = [80/100

(180) + 36] / (180 + 36) * 100% = (144 + 36)/216 *
100% = 5/6 * 100% = 83.33%.
