10.A mixture of sugar and rice flour contains sugar and rice flour in the ratio of 3 : 2. Another mixture of sugar and rice flour contains sugar and rice flour in the ratio of 2 : l.40 kg of the first mixture is mixed with 30 kg of the second mixture. The quantity of sugar in the resultant mixture is 
(a) 38 kg  
(b) 40 kg 
(c) 42 kg  
(d) 44 kg
ANSWERS WITH SOLUTION:
1.(b)
80 kg 800 Matlab sp 10₹/kg
100 kg 750 Matlab C.P 7.5₹/kg
Profit = (sp-cp)*100/cp =33 1/3

2.(d)
3.(a) Let x kg be the weight of the person.
=> 7 * 42 + x = 8 * (42 + 3)
=> 294 + x = 360
=> x = 360 – 294 = 66 kg
so The weight of the new person is 66 kg.

4.(a) The net gain to Kishan is only through interest by the end of the first year. His net gain
= 12, 000 [(12 ×1)/100- (8 ×1)/100] = 12, 000× 4/100 = Rs. 480.
5.(d)
5th.
3m = 4 days
1m = 12 days
So efficiency of 1m = 1/12
=> 5w = 5d
1w = 25d
Eff of w = 1/25
=> 8b = 10d
B = 80d
Eff of 1B = 1/80
=> Now
6(1/12) + 5(1/25) + 24(1/80)
= 1/2 + 1/5 + 3/10
= 10/10 = 1 day

6.(d)
7.(b)
7th.
Let Karan has x rupees! 
He distributed y rupees to A n B each! 
Freind will get = 1/2 y
Karan left with = 1/3 y rupee 
Now
Y/2 - y/3 = 60k
=> y = 3,60,000
Again
X = y + y + y/2 + y/3 = 17/6y
= 17*360000/6 = 102,000 or Q7.....see this question can be done without touching pen,,,,
see the options .,...a is 45 and b is 90....if original number is divisible by 5 then the unit place is either 0 or 5....
and after reversing the number 45 becomes 54 still divible by 9 and 90 becomes 09 divisble by 9......
so both A and B possible.

8.(a) Let the initial number of males be 3x and the initial number of females be 2x.
After three women joined and three men left, the ratio was 11 : 9.
=> (3x- 3)/(2x+3 )=11/9
=> 9(3x – 3) = 11 (2x + 3)
=> 27x – 27 = 22x + 33
=> x = 12
so Total number of people present in the hall initially
=> (3 + 2) 12 = (5)(12) = 60
9.(d)
10.(d) Quantity of sugar in first mixture = 3/5 * 40 kg = 24 kg
Quantity of sugar in second mixture = 2/3 * 30 = 20 kg
so Total quantity of sugar in the resultant mixture
= 24 kg + 20 kg = 44 kg.
