125 ltr mixture of wine n water contains 20% water, how much more water b added to result in 25% concentration of water

pls explain how alligation technique can be used here in arun sharma ( straight line method)

(25/3) ltrs of water....

Thanks 4 d ans, but I too knw d sol like: (25+x)/(125+x)=1/4
thing is arun sharma explained a method in form of A1,A2,Aw,n1,n2
can u give values of these variables in ref to this ques..

Hey Guyz,

Question from AS:

Concentrations of three wines A, B and C are 10%,20%,30% respectively. They are mixed in the ratio 2:3:x resulting in a 23% concentration solution.
Find x.

Guyz plz post the solution to this with a detailed explanation ...

Total concentration is 23% of ( 2 + 3 + x )
It's also the sum of the individual concentration and ratios:
10% of 2 + 20% of 3 + 30% of x
So:
0.2 + 0.6 + 0.3*x = 0.23 * ( 5 + x ), or
0.8 + 0.3*x = 1.15 + 0.23*x, or
0.07*x = 0.35, or
x = 5

thanks dost!!!!!

Suppose x is the product of n consecutive integers .

(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)..(x+(n-1))=1000 then which of the following cannot be true about number of terms n

a)The number of terms can be 16
b)The number of terms can be 5
c)The number of terms can be 25
d)The number of terms can be 20

can anyone help me out with this one ?

Product of n consecutive integers is always divisible by n!. So for n = 16, 5, 20 and 25, product should be divisible by 16!, 5!, 20!, 25! respectively. But 1000 is not divisible by any of these.

So, I think its a misprint in the book. The correct question should be like:-

If x is positive integer and
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + .... + (x + (n - 1)) = 1000 then which of the following cannot be true about number of terms n

a)The number of terms can be 16
b)The number of terms can be 5
c)The number of terms can be 25
d)The number of terms can be 20


x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + .... + (x + (n - 1)) = n(n + 2x - 1)/2 = 1000
=> n(n + 2x - 1) = 2000

Now, we can notice that one of n and (n + 2x - 1) is odd and other will be even and n
2000 = 1*2000 = 5*400 = 16*125 = 25*80

=> n can be 5, 16 and 25

So, 20 should be the answer.

thanks a LOT man , almost lost sleep over it

On dividing by 9,
2^2 leaves a remainder of 4.
Similarly, 22^2 will leave a remainder of 7
222^2 leaves 0
2222^2 leaves 1
22222^2 leaves 1
222222^2 leaves 0.

Sorry not finding the pattern ..

2^2 + 22^2 + 222^2 + 2222^2 + ...... + (222...49 2's)^2
=2^2 * (1^2 + 11^2 + 111^2 + 1111^2 +..... + (1111...49 1's)^2)
Considering 1^2 + 11^2 + .... + (11...9 1's)^2
This when divided by 9 can be reduced to the form -
(1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^2 + 7^2 + 8^2 + 0)
=> 2 * (1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2)
=> 2 * 30 = 60
Hence the remainder for this part is 6.
This continues for 5 times in the original series. (Till 45 1's)

Hence remainder is
4 * (6*5 + (46 1's)^2 + (47 1's)^2 + (48 1's)^2 + (49 1's)^2 )
4 * (6*5 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2)
4 * (6*5 + 30)
=> 4* (60)
=> 4 * 6
=> 24
Remainder = 6

The remainder we get when we divide the sum of the digits by 9 is the same as the remainder when we divide the number by 9
so rem of 22*22/9 = rem of 4*4/9
rem of 222*222/9 = rem of 6*6/9

rem of 2^2+ 4^2+6^2.............98^2/9
rem of 2^2(1+2^2+3^2............+49^2)/9

1+2^2+3^2............+49^2=49(49+1)(98+1)/6=40,425

rem of 4*40425/9 = 161700/9= 1+6+1+7=15
Rem=1+5=6
2^2 + 22^2 + 222^2 + 2222^2 + ...... + (222...49 2's)^2

I could find a pattern here

202 = 202 (there are two 2's)

202 * 20002 = 4040404 (there are four 4's)

So, if you see, there are four 4's in the above multiplication, i.e., (number of zeroes + 1 ) number of fours.

Similarly, for 202 * 20002 * 200000002 = there will be eight 8's.

For 202 * 20002 * 200000002 * 20000 ...2 (15 zeroes) = there will be sixteen 16's.

For 202 * 20002 * 200000002 * 20000 ...2 (15 zeroes) * 2000... 2 (31 zeros) = there will be thirty two 32's.

Thirty two 32's contains thrity two 3's and thirty two 2's.
So, 32 * 3 + 32 * 2 = 160

What's the OA .. ?

dats the answer BINGO!! 😁 one heck of a pattern must say :splat:
arijitprepares Says
Hey guys anyone got to say anything on this one? Should I presume that the answer given in Arun Sharma was wrong??:splat:

hey arijit,
i have another way but answer comes as GP..it's like this

let a^x = b^y = c^ z = k
take log both side
so now log(a^x)=logk
similarly log(a^x)=log(b^y)=log(c^z)=logk
hence xloga=ylogb=zlogc=logk------(equation 1)
now y*y=x*z or y/x=z/y;(given) ----------(equation 2)
putting equation 1 in 2
we get log (ac)= log (b^2)
so b^2=ac.........hence a,b,c is in GP.....please correct if wrong...
