14. A mixture of 150 liters of wine and water contains 20% water. How much more water should be added so that water becomes 25% of the new mixture?
a) 7 Liter
b) 15 Liter
c) 9 Liter
d) 10 Liter
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
Number of liters of water in 150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 20/100 X 150 = 30 liters
X liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture.
Total amount of water becomes (30 + X) and total volume of mixture is (150 + X).
(30 + X) = 25/100 x (150 + X)
(30 + X) = 1/4 x (150 + X)
120 + 4X = 150 + X
120 + 4X - X = 150
3X = 150 - 120
3X = 30
X = 10 liters

18. Sohan had to do a multiplication. Instead of taking 26 as one of the multipliers, he took 62. As a result, the product went up by 1440. What is the new product?
a) 2050
b) 2540
c) 2480
d) 2080
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
Let the number that Sohan wanted to multiply be 'X'.
She was expected to find the value of 26X.
Instead, she found the value of 62X.
The difference between the value that he got (62X) and what he was expected to get (26X) is 1440.
i.e., 62X - 26X = 1440
or (62 - 26) * X = 1440
X = 40
Therefore, the new product = 62 * 40 = 2480

19. Salaries of Ritu and Shweta are in the ratio 2: 3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 1000, the new ratio becomes 40: 57. What is Shweta's salary?
a) Rs. 17,000
b) Rs. 20,000
c) Rs. 25,500
d) Rs. 19,000
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
Let the original salaries of Ritu and Shweta be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then, (2x + 1000)/ (3x + 1000) = 40/57
57(2x + 1000) = 40(3x + 1000)
6x = 17,000
3x = 8,500
Sumit's present salary = (3x + 2000) = Rs. (8500 + 1000) = Rs. 9,500.
