Number System
In a 150-litre mixture of milk and water, the percentage of milk is 84%. How much water should be added so that the percentage of milk becomes 52.5% ?
In 150 litre, milk is 84%ie 150 x 84/100 = 126 litre Let us add x litres of waterTherefore, the quantity of mixture = 150 + x∴ 52.5% of (150 + x) = 126 litres 150 + x = 126x100/52.5 = 240 litres∴ x = 240 - 150 = 90 litres
Let 'N' is the smallest number which divided by 13 and 16 leaves respective remainders of 2 and 5.Required number = (LCM of 13 and 16) - (common difference of divisors and remainders) = (208) - (11) = 197.
