Quantitative aptitude for competitive exams – MIXTURE AND ALLIGATION Part 2: SUCCESSIVE REPLACEMENT:

Quantitative aptitude for competitive exams –  MIXTURE AND ALLIGATION Part 2: SUCCESSIVE REPLACEMENT:

Consider an example to understand the concept of successive replacement.
If a vessel has x litres of milk and y litre of milk is removed from it and replaced with y litres of water the milk left in the vessel after the replacement is (x-y) litres and the total milk water solution available in the vessel is again x litres (x – y +y). so, after the replacement the proportion of milk in the milk water solution will be equal to:
Some examples:-
  1. From a solution containing milk and water in the ratio 3 : 4, 10 L is removed and replaced by water. If the resultant solution contains milk and water in the ratio 1 : 2 then what was the amount of the original solution?
    Solution:
    Here also we are replacing with water.  So FC and IC must be milk concentrations.
    Initial concentration of the milk = 3/7
    Final concentration of the milk = 1/3
    Applying formula
    1/3=3/7×(1−10/V)1
    ⇒7/9=1−10/V
    ⇒2/9=10V
    ⇒V=45

Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
