Here we are talking about Mixture and Alligations which is more or less asked in almost every banking exam. The rules of mixture and alligations basically help the candidates to find out proportion between the two commodities given. These are two different terms and need to be understood differently.
1. A vessel contains 540 litres mixture of honey, milk and water in the ratio of 3:4:5 respectively. 15 litres of honey and 20 litres of milk is added to this mixture. Find the new ratio of honey, milk and water in the vessel.
a. 7:2:8
b. 2:3:5
c. 6:8:9
d. 4:5:3
e. 7:8:9
Answer: c)
Solution:
Quantity of honey in vessel initially = [3/ (3 + 4 + 5)] × 540 = 135 litres
Quantity of milk in vessel initially = [4/ (3 + 4 + 5)] × 540 = 180 litres
Quantity of water in vessel initially = [5/ (3 + 4 + 5)] × 540 = 225 litres
Therefore, required ratio = (135 + 15): (180 + 20): 225 = 150: 200: 225 = 6: 8: 9
Hence, option c.

3. A vessel contains 240 litres mixture of milk and water in the ratio of 5:3. How much water should be added to this vessel so that ratio of milk and water changes to 1:1?
a. 72 litres
b. 40 litres
c. 60 litres
d. 54 litres
e. 45 litres
Answer: c)
Solution:
Amount of milk in vessel = (5/8) × 240 = 150 litres
Amount of water in vessel = (3/8) × 240 = 90 litres
Let, required amount of water be x litres
According to question,
150: (90 + x) = 1: 1
150 = 90 + x
x = 150 – 90
x = 60 litres
Hence, option c.

3. What will come in the place of question mark (?) in the given expression?
(210 ÷ 14) × 15 + 252 = ?2 – 20% of 555
a. 27
b. 31
c. 36
d. 24

?2 – 111= 225 + 625
?2 =850 + 111
? = √961= 31
Hence, option b.

1. A certain sum of money invested at 20% per annum for 2 years compounded annually, but if interest would have been compounded half yearly on the same amount, then Rs. 241 more interest would have been received. Find the sum of money invested.
a. Rs. 10000
b. Rs. 8000
c. Rs. 12000
d. Rs. 7500
e. Rs. 10500
Answer: a
Solution:
Let the certain amount of money invested be Rs.‘P’.
When interest is compounded yearly,
So, CI = P(1 + 20/100)2 – P = P[(1 + 20/100) 2 – 1] = P(1.44 – 1) = 0.44 × P
When interest is compounded half yearly,
And, CI = P(1 + 10/100) 4 – P = P[(1.1) 4 – 1] = P(1.4641 – 1) = 0.4641 × P
According to question, 0.4641×P – 0.44×P = 241
0.0241×P = 241
P = 241/0.0241 = 10000
Therefore, the certain amount of money invested is Rs. 10000.
Hence, option a.
