e

Quantity 1:

The ratio of the proportion of first variety=9:1

The ratio of the proportion of second variety=8:3

The new mixture thus formed containing wheat = 9/10+8/11=(99+80)/110=179/110

The new mixture containing impurities = 1/10+3/11=(11+30)/110=41/110

The required ratio=179:41

Quantity 2:

The ratio between the milk and water in the second container before mixing=17:3

The proportion of the milk in second container after mixing = 7/8+17/20=69/40

The proportion of the water in second container after mixing = 1/8+3/20=11/40

The respective ratio between milk and water in the ratio=69:11

 

179/41<69/11

Comparing the two values, x<y

Q.2) Quantity 1:The speed of a car is two times the speed of a train of length 250m crossing a bridge of 350m in 24 seconds. What is the speed of the car in kmph?

Quantity 2:Two trains of length each 500m cross each other in 12.5 seconds travelling in opposite directions. One of the trains crosses a pole in 10 seconds. What is the speed of the slower train?

  1. a) Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2
  2. b) Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 (or) No relation
  3. c) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
  4. d) Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2
  5. e) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2
Click Here to View Answer
  c

Quantity 1:

Total length of the train and bridge=250+350=600m

Time taken=24 seconds

Speed of the train = 600/24=25m/s=90 kmph.

So, the speed of the car=180kmph

.Quantity 2:

The speed of the faster train crossing pole = 500/10=50m/s

Let x be the speed of the slower train

=1000/(x+50)=12.5seconds

So, the value of x=30m/s

So, the speed of slower train= 108kmph

Comparing the two values, x>y

Q.3) Quantity 1:Ram invests some amount in scheme A for 3 years at a rate of 5% simple interest. He also invests in scheme B Rs.2000 more than what he invested in scheme A for 2 years at a rate of 6% simple interest. If he gets a total of Rs.1050, then what is the total amount he invested in both the schemes?

Quantity 2:An amount is received by a person at the end of 2 years with a compound interest amount of Rs 615. The interest amount is 10.25% of the principal amount. If the same person receives Rs 768.75 in another scheme for same period and at the same rate, what is his first time investment?

  1. a) Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2
  2. b) Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 (or) No relation
  3. c) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
  4. d) Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2
  5. e) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2

  c

Quantity 1:

Let the amount he invested in scheme A be x.

So, the amount he invested in scheme B be x+2000

Now, the equation becomes, (x×3×5)/100+((x+2000)×2×6)/100=1050rs.

X=3000rs.

Total money he invested in both the schemes=8000rs

Quantity 2:

Given that, 615rs is 10.25% of the principal.

So, the principal is 6000rs.

For the second time, he receives 768.75rs as the interest.

So, (x+768.75)=x(1+5/100)²

X=7500

Comparing the two results, x>y

Q.4) Quantity 1:A cube is melted so as to cast several cubes of length of side 2m. The ratio of the length of side of older cube and the newer cube is 3:1 respectively. What is the no of cube so formed?

Quantity 2:

A person jogs around a circular park of diameter 210m. He aimed to cover 6.6kms. How many rounds he has to go to cover the distance?

  1. a) Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2
  2. b) Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 (or) No relation
  3. c) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
  4. d) Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2
Click Here to View Answer
  c

Quantity 1:

If the length of one side of newer cube is 2m, then the volume=8m³.

The length of one side of older cube is 6m and its volume would be 216m³.

No of cubes thus formed = 216/8=27

Quantity 2:

The diameter of circular park=210m

The perimeter of the circular park=P=2πr=3.14×2×105=660m.

The no of rounds he has to go for = 6600/660=10

Comparing both the quantities, x>y

  1. e) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2

Q.5) Quantity 1:Hari buys a shirt with 4% discount whose marked price is 2100rs. Still the seller gains 12%. What is the cost price of the shirt?

Quantity 2:A seller allows a discount of 10% on a watch. If a customer buys a pair of watch, then he is offered 4% extra discount. He buys two watches for 960rs. What is the price of two couples of watches?

  1. a) Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2
  2. b) Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 (or) No relation
  3. c) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
  4. d) Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2
  5. e) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2
Click Here to View Answer
  e

Quantity 1:

Hari buys the shirt for = 2100/100×96=2016

The best price is 112% of the cost price.

So, the cost price is, 2106/112×100=1800

Quantity 2:

The marked price of pair of watches = 960/96×100=1000.

The marked price of single watch=500

The cost price of a single watch = 500/90×100=555

The cost price of four watches=555×4=2220

Comparing the two quantities, x<y

D.6-10) In the following question two quantities are given Quantity 1 and quantity 2 By solving those quantities give corresponding answer.

Q.6) Quantity 1:A boy is 4 years older than his brother. After four years from now the boy’s age will be two times his brother’s age after 2 years. What is the ratio of their age 3 years later from now?

Quantity 2:The average age of a family consisting a father, a mother, two boys and the youngest girl child who is 4 years younger than one of her brothers and 2 years younger than another brother is 21. The difference between the ages of mother and father is 5 years. The ratio between the ages of parents and the children is 5:2. What is the ratio between the ages of mother and her girl child if father is the eldest in the family?

  1. a) Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2
  2. b) Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 (or) No relation
  3. c) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
  4. d) Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2
  5. e) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2
Click Here to View Answer
  e

Quantity 1:

Age of boy=x

Age of his brother=x-4

After 8 years boys age=2×Age of his brother after 4 years

X+4=2×((x-4)+2)

X=8

The required ratio=11:7

 

Quantity 2:

The sum of the ages of five members=5×21=105

The ratio between parents and children=5:2

So the sum of ages of parents = 105/7×5=75

The sum of the ages of children = 105/7×2=30

The age of mother=35 (since the age of mother is 5 years lesser than father)

Let the age of girl child be x.

The ages of children=x+(x+2)+(x+4)=30

The age of girl child=8

The required ratio=35:8

Comparing both the quantities,  11/7<35/8  i.e X<y

Q.7) Quantity 1:

Quantity 1:

0.267, 0.294, 0.303 and 0.296

So, the greatest value is  10/33

Quantity 2:

0.461, 0.467, 0.684 and 0.62

So, the greatest value is  13/19

Comparing the two values ,  10/33<13/19  i.e, x<y

  1. a) Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2
  2. b) Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 (or) No relation
  3. c) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
  4. d) Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2
  5. e) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2

  c

Quantity 1:

From the data given, we can equate,

Solving the above equation, x=Rs.6000.

 

Quantity 2:

We can take that, the efficiency of P=x

The efficiency of R=3x

The efficiency of Q=x/2

The ratio between the efficiency of P, Q and R= 2:1:6

The wage of Q = 8550/10×1=Rs.855.

Comparing both the quantities,  x>y.

Q.10) Quantity 1: Pipe A can fill a tank in 36 hours while pipe B can fill it in 24 hours. If both the pipes are opened for an hour alternatively starting with A, then in how many hours the pipe will be filled?

  1. a) Quantity 1 ≥ Quantity 2
  2. b) Quantity 1 = Quantity 2 (or) No relation
  3. c) Quantity 1 > Quantity 2
  4. d) Quantity 1 ≤ Quantity 2
  5. e) Quantity 1 < Quantity 2

  c

Quantity 1:

Work done by pipe A in one hour = 1/36

Work done by pipe B in one hour = 1/24

Work done by both the pipes in two hours = 1/36+1/24=5/72

Both the pipe will do the work for 28 hours to complete 70/72  of the work.

Remaining 2/72 of the work will be done by A in one hour.

So totally 29 hours will be taken by both the pipes to fill the tank.

Quantity 2:

Work done by pipe A = 1/12

Work done by pipe B = 1/15

Work done by pipe C =- 1/20

Total work done in one hour by all the three pipes = 1/12+1/15-1/20=1/10

The cistern will be filled in 10 hours.

Comparing the two values, x>y
