Question

In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option.

Quantity A: A utensil is made up of three metals (Steel, Zinc and Brass) in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5.If the weight of utensil is 500 mg. Find the amount of brass used in the utensil.

Quantity B: 25 mg
1. Quantity A ≥ Quantity B
2. Quantity A ≤ Quantity B
3. Quantity A < Quantity B
4. Quantity A > Quantity B
5. Quantity A = Quantity B or No relation

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Quantity A > Quantity B

Quantity A:

Ratio of Steel, Zinc and Brass is 2 : 3 : 5.

(Share of the item/sum of the ratio) × Total weight of the object

⇒ Sum of the ratio = 2 + 3 + 5

⇒ 10

Amount of brass used = (5/10) × 500

⇒ 250 mg.

Quantity B: 25 mg

∴ Quantity A > Quantity B
