Let water and milk be in x quantity
3x+2x=125
5x=125
x=25
Milk=3x=75litre
Water=2x=50litre
2x=50litre
4x=100litre
So 50 litre more should be added so that the ratio becomes 3:4
8:7 ratio
let A goes up and B comes down.
assume A takes 1 step in 1sec.
hence,B takes 5 steps in 1sec.
50 steps ll be moved by A in 50/1=50secs
125 steps ll be moved by B in 125/5=25 secs
hence speed of escalator=(difference of no of
steps)/(difference of time)
speed=(125-50)/(50-25)= 3 steps/sec
hence during upward journey of 50secs by A,total steps=50 by
A and 150 by escalator..total=150+50=200
during downward journey of 25 secs by B,total steps=125 by B
and 75 by escalator..total=125+75=200steps.
ANS:200 steps

Fathers before age=3*before sons age—-(1)
After 2.5 years..
Fathers before age+2.5 years =2.5*sons age—-(2)
Substitute (1) in (2),
3*sons before age+2.5 years=2.5*sons age
0.5*sons age=2.5 years
Sons before age=5years
So current age after 2.5 years,
Sons before age+2.5 =5+2.5=7.5 years

A certain sum amounts to Rs. 1725 in 3 years
and amounts to Rs.1875 in 5 years
so interest of 2 years = 1875 -1725
= 150
so interest of 1 year = 75
so interest of 3 years = 75 × 3 =225 rs
so , Principal = Amount – SI
= 1725 – 225
= 1500 rs
now ,
S.I. = P × N × R /100
75 = 1500 × 1 × R /100
R = 75 / 15
R = 5%
I agree with @TUMWINE PETER
Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:
1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.
Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.
2. Weigh G versus H.
Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.
Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.
Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.
2. Weigh A versus B.
Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.
Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.
answer is maximum of 2.
x and y can be equal to 1..
If so,then he gets 1/1 of Rs.10 which is equal to 10 and
again 1/1 of Rs.10=Rs.10..so,he gets total of 20..and
returns 20..so,no gain and no loss..
If x=1,y=2,he gets, 5+20=25..and returns 20..so he may not
lose..
So,whatever be the values of x and y,only these two answers
are possible..
so its a)He never loses..
The number of ways of selecting a group of eight is
5 men and 3 women=5C5×6C3 =20
4 men and 4 women=5C4×6C4 =75
3 men and 5 women=5C3×6C5=60
2 men and 6 women=5C2×6C6=10
Thus the total possible cases is 20+75+60+10=165.
