Here, 5 + 7 = 4 + 2 + 6 (keeping all the Let the ratio volume = x

Thus S = 5, T = 7, P = 4, Q = 2 and R = 6 A + B + C = x + x + 2x = 4x
(a) S + P > T + Q + R
As per question, since the rate of mixture
5+4>7+2+6

9 > 15 (wrong)
So, 4x = 4 × 90 = 360 Rs
(b) S + T + P < Q + R

16 < 8 (wrong) C = 360 – (70 + 80) = 210
(c) S + Q + R < T + P 2x = 210  x = 105

Thus, the rate of 3 rd type of jaggery

yellow balls, 38 white balls, 17 black balls, = 160/63
and 26 pink balls. These are 164 balls in total. So, statement II is not true.
So, the value of n = 164 + 2 = 166. Hence, option (d) is correct.

So, value of m = 21 + 36 + 29 + 39 + 27 = 152 Hence, amount = 1200 × (1 + 10/200) 2
Now, only black balls are left. So, the next = Rs. 1323
ball we choose will certainly be a black ball. From statement II :
So, the value of m = 152 + 2 = 154. Let principle is Rs. P.
So, statement 2 is correct. (P * 12 * 5)/100 + P(1 +10/100)2 = 5620

Take two other ratio,
Statement I: For 7XY to be divisible by 2, XY must
16 : 9 = 4 × t2 : 3 × t3
be even. Hence, X must be even since (even)odd or
even is always even. Hence, the question is to find

the question.  t1 : t2 : t3 = 1 : 16 : 12
Statement II: For X + 4Y2 to be a prime number, X Hence, option (c) is correct.
has to be odd since 4Y2 is always even and 4Y2 is 138. (b)

prime numbers greater than 2 are odd. Hence, X 32 n/5  2 2 n 1 (2 5 ) 5  2 2 n  1
