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

Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

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...
