Slowly pour the water from jug A to jug B until jug B is completely filled. Now, jug A contains 2 litres and jug B contains 3 litres.
Throw away the water in jug B so that it is completely empty. Now, jug A contains 2 litres and jug B is empty.
Transfer the water from jug A to jug B. Now, jug A is empty and jug B contains 2 litres.
Fill jug A completely. Now, jug A contains 5 litres and jug B contains 2 litres.
Transfer water from jug A to jug B until jug B is completely filled. Now, jug A contains 4 litres and jug B contains 3 litres.

Ques:- There are 9 balls of equal size and same weight(they look similar) except 1. How many weights required to find the dissimilar ball using a weighing balance?
Recent Answer : Added by G Dinesh On 2023-06-10 18:20:22:

Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:

1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.

Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.

2. Weigh G versus H.

Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.

Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.

2. Weigh A versus B.

Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.

Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

answer is maximum of 2.

Ques:- Perimeter of the back wheel = 9 feet, front wheel = 7 feet on a certain distance, the front wheel gets 10 revolutions more than the back wheel .What is the distance?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:04:03:

Let the revolutins made by bigger wheel is: x
then revolution by smaller wheel will be: x+10
Now, the distance covered by both wheels will be same.
So,
7(x+10)=9x
7x+70=9x
70=2x
35=x
so distance travelled=9*35=315
or 7*45=315

Ques:- In 3.5 Kg rod , there is 74% silver. If it is alloyed with a 0.5 Kg rod, the % of silver goes p to 84%. The percent of silver in 0.5 Kg rod?
Recent Answer : Added by Munesh On 2022-08-14 16:29:31:

In 3500 g rod contains 74% of silver = 3500 * 74/100 = 2590 g
Then 3500 g + 500 g of rod contains 84% of silver
Let x be the silver contained in 500 g of silver
(2590/3500 * 100) + (x/500 * 100) = 84
74 + x/5 = 84
(370 + x) /5 = 84
370 + x = 420
x = 50
Then the percentage of silver contained in 500 g of rod = 50/500 *100 =10%

Ques:- The price of sugar increases by 20%, by what % should a housewife reduce the consumption of sugar so that expenditure on sugar can be same as before ?(a) 15%(b) 16.66%(c) 12%(d) 9%
Recent Answer : Added by Rk On 2021-08-25 14:15:42:

(b) 16.66%

Earlier for ₹x we could purchase y gm of sugar.
Now we pay ₹1.2x for y gm of sugar

(As there was an increase in price so, x + 20%x = 1.2x)

At current rates for ₹x you can purchase y/1.2 gm of sugar

So the reduced consumption is y-(y/1.2)

Percentage change = (reduced consumption/ original consumption ) *100

That is (0.2/1.2) *100 = 16.66% (approx)
