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
Average of 8 consecutive odd numbers = 656/8 = 82∴ Fourth number = 82 - 1 = 81∴ First numbers = 75Average of 4 even numbers = 87∴ Second even number = 87 - 1 = 86Second largest even number = 88∴ Required sum = 75 + 88 = 163
Let the price of a pen be 'x' and that of pencil be 'y' Then 87x + 29y = 783Multiplying eqn (i) by 30/29 we get (87x) x 30/29 + (29y) 30/29 = 783 x 30/29∴ 90x + 30y = 810
