Problems on Numbers A car is filled with 4 ¼ gallons of oil for full round trip. Fuel is taken 1/4 gallon more while going down than coming up. What is the fuel consumed in coming up?
Problems on Numbers Let ‘X’ be the quantity of fuel consumed for the trip in one directionThe fuel consumed while going = X + ¼ The fuel consumed while coming = XTherefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4 ½ 2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ - ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2 gallons approx

Problems on Ages Solution: F = 5S F – 4 = 9(S-4) F – 5s = 0 F – 9S = -36 + 4 = -32 4S = 32 S = 8 Father age = 40 years
Problems on Ages One year ago Pandit was three times his sister’s age. Next year he will be only twice her age. How old will Pandit be after five years? (TCS)
Problems on Ages Solution: (P-1) = 3(S -1) P + 1 = 2( s+1) P – 3S = -3 + 2 = -2 P – 2S = 2-1 = 1 S = 3 P – 3(3) = -2 P – 9 = -2 P = -2 + 9 = 7 After 5 years = 12

Alligation or Mixture • (Quantity of cheaper / Quantity of costlier) (C.P. of costlier) – (Mean price) = -------------------------------------- (Mean price) – (C.P. of cheaper)
Alligation or Mixture Cost of Cheaper Cost of costlier c d Cost of Mixture m d-m m-c (Cheaper quantity) : (Costlier quantity) = (d – m) : (m – c)
Alligation or Mixture A merchant has 100 kg of salt, part of which he sells at 7% profit and the rest at 17% profit. He gains 10% on the whole. Find the quantity sold at 17% profit?
Alligation or Mixture Solution: 7 17 10 (17-10) (10-7) 7 : 3 The ratio is 7:3 The quantity of 2nd kind = 3/10 of 100kg = 30kg
