Answer / gautam nath

Step (i) : Let C.P. of spirit be Re.1
Given ratio of mixture in A = 5:2
spirit in 1 lit mixture in A = 5/7 lit
C.P of 1 lit mixture in A = Rs. 5/7
Ratio of Mixture in B = 7:6
spirit in 1 litre mixture in B – 7/13 lit
C.P of 1 lit mixture in B = Rs. 7/13
Ratio of new mixture = 8:5
spirit in 1 lit mixture = 8/13
C.P of 1 lit mixture = Rs. 8/13 (Mean price)
Step (ii) : By the rule of allegation,
i. C.P of 1 liter of mixture in A =5/7
ii. C.P of 1 liter of mixture in B = 7/13
iii. Mean price (p) = 8/13
iv. d – m = 5/7 – 8/13 = 9/91
v. m – c = 8/13 – 7/13 = 1/13
Required ratio = 2/91 : 1/13 = 9:7

Answer / mackdeeps

Let us Consider

First Vessel A Contains 5ml:2ml
second Vessel B Contains 7ml:6ml

when we add these two we get 12ml:8ml (i.e) 3:2

If we consider that 3 is 12ml then 8 is how much?
8*12/3 = 32 we get

same way
If we consider that 2 is 8ml then 5 is how much?
5*8/2 = 20 we get

So the new mixture is 32:20 to get ratio 8:5

Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0- move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2- move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top
