Question : A mixture contains liquid A and B in the ratio 5 : 3, respectively. If 3 litres of liquid B is added to it, the ratio of liquid A to liquid B becomes 7 : 6. What is the quantity of liquid A in the mixture?

Option 1: $7 \frac{2}{3}$ litres

Option 2: $9 \frac{1}{3}$ litres

Option 3: $11 \frac{2}{3}$ litres

Option 4: $13 \frac{1}{3}$ litres

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $11 \frac{2}{3}$ litres


Solution : The ratio of liquid A and B = 5 : 3
Quantity of liquid added in B = 3 litres
The ratio of liquid A and B after addition = 7 : 6
Let the quantity of the two liquids A and B be $5x$ and $3x$ respectively.
According to the question,
$\frac{(5x)}{(3x + 3)} = \frac{7}{6}$
$⇒ 30x = 21x + 21$
$⇒ 9x = 21$
$⇒ x = \frac{21}{9} = \frac{7}{3}$
$\therefore$ Quantity of liquid A in mixture $=5 \times \frac{7}{3} = \frac{35}{3} = 11\frac{2}{3}$ litres
Hence, the correct answer is $11\frac{2}{3}$ litres.

Option 1: 95

Option 2: 87

Option 3: 92

Option 4: 90

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 92


Solution : Given:
17, 22, 32, 47, 67, X

Add the consecutive multiples of 5 to each number to obtain the next number of the series –
17 + (5 × 1) = 17 + 5 = 22;
22 + (5 × 2) = 22 + 10 = 32;
32 + (5 × 3) = 32 + 15 = 47;
47 + (5 × 4) = 47 + 20 = 67;
67 + (5 × 5) = 67 + 25 = 92

So, 92 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Which of the following statement (s) is true?

A) Higher inflation means lower real GDP, ceteris paribus
B) The price index is 200 if nominal and real GDP are the same.

Option 1: Only B

Option 2: Both A and B

Option 3: Only A

Option 4: Neither A nor B

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only A


Solution : The correct option is Only A.

"Higher inflation means lower real GDP, ceteris paribus" is generally true. Ceteris paribus means holding other factors constant. When there's higher inflation (a general increase in prices), it can decrease the real GDP, as it erodes the purchasing power of money, reduces consumer spending, and can lead to resource allocation.
