11. A vessel contains superior quality oil. Some oil in the vessel is replaced by inferior quality oil (Cost price =
Rs.20/litre). The mixture is then sold at the price of the superior quality oil resulting in a gain of 25%. If the ratio
of the inferior to superior quality oil is , the cost of the superior quality oil is :

(A). 60 Rs/ltr (B). 75 Rs/ltr

(C). can't be determined (D). 80 Rs/ltr

Correct
B
Answer
Let 'x' be the superior quality oil in a litre

and be the inferior quality oil in a litre

Cost of interior quality = 20/lit.

Explanation Cost of superior quality = r/lit.

Cost of mixture =

13. An overhead tank has two pipes as inlets which can individually fill up the tank in 5 hours and 20 hours
respectively. But due to continuous usage of water, the two pipes together take half an hour more than the time
they would have taken to completely fill up the tank together without any usage. The water in the full tank can be
used when the inlets are closed for z hours. Then z is :

(A). 12 hrs (B). 36 hrs

(C). 24 hrs (D). 32 hrs

Correct
B
Answer

Let V be the volume of tank

Explanation Let both take 'x' hours to fill when operated together
