A/B = 5/4
Difference = Rs.100

The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 12 square units,if its length is reduced by 6 units and breadth is increased by 4 units.If we increase the length by 4 units and breadth by 2 units, then the area is increased by 63 square units. Find the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Correct
Explanation :
Length = x; Breadth = y
xy – (x-6)(y+4) = 12
4x – 6y = 12 —(i)
(x+4)(y+2) – xy = 63
4y + 2x – 55 = 0 —(ii)
solving (i) and (ii)
x = 13.5m ; y = 7m
Incorrect
Explanation :
Length = x; Breadth = y
xy – (x-6)(y+4) = 12
4x – 6y = 12 —(i)
(x+4)(y+2) – xy = 63
4y + 2x – 55 = 0 —(ii)
solving (i) and (ii)
x = 13.5m ; y = 7m

A container is filled with liquid, 8 part of which are water and 12 part milk. How much of the mixture must be drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and half milk?
Correct
Explanation :
Container initially contains – 20L of liquid
Quantity of milk in new mixture = (12 -12x/20)L
Quantity of water in new mixture = (8 – 8x/20 + x)L
(12 – 12x/20) = (8 – 8x/20 + x)
X = 10/3
Part of mixture replaced = 1/20 * 10/3 = 1/6
Incorrect
Explanation :
Container initially contains – 20L of liquid
Quantity of milk in new mixture = (12 -12x/20)L
Quantity of water in new mixture = (8 – 8x/20 + x)L
(12 – 12x/20) = (8 – 8x/20 + x)
X = 10/3
Part of mixture replaced = 1/20 * 10/3 = 1/6

A boat can goes 48 km downstream in 20 hours. It takes 4 hours more to cover the same distance against the stream. What is the speed of boat in still water?
Correct
Explanation :
Downstream speed = 48/20 = 2.4 kmph
Upstream speed = 48/24 = 2 kmph
speed of boat in still water =1/2 (2.4 + 2) = 2.2 kmph
Incorrect
Explanation :
Downstream speed = 48/20 = 2.4 kmph
Upstream speed = 48/24 = 2 kmph
speed of boat in still water =1/2 (2.4 + 2) = 2.2 kmph
