a call center has two teams . each member of team a was able to process 2 / 5 calls as compared to each member of team b . if team a has 5 / 8 as many number of call center agents as team b , what fraction of the total calls was processed by team b ?
let team b has 8 agents , so team a has 5 agents let each agent of team b picked up 5 calls , so total calls by team b = 40 so , each agent in team a picked up 2 calls , so total calls for team a = 10 fraction for team b = 40 / ( 40 + 10 ) = 4 / 5 = answer = c

pure milk costs 3.60 per litre . a milkman adds water to 25 litres of pure milk and sells the mixture at 3 per litre . how many litres of water does he add ?
in mixture , quantity of pure milk / quantity of water = 3 βˆ’ 0 / 3.6 βˆ’ 3 = 3 / 0.6 = 5 / 1 since in every 5 litres of milk , he adds 1 litre of water . ∴ in every 25 litres of milk , he adds 5 litres of water . answer b

machine a can process 6000 envelopes in 3 hours . machines b and c working together but independently can process the same number of envelopes in 2.5 hours . if machines a and c working together but independently process 3000 envelopes in 1 hour , then how many hours would it take machine b to process 12000 envelopes .
for 1 hour - machine a rate - 2000 envelopes machine b + c rate - 2400 envelopes since a + c = 3000 envelopes a ' s rate is 2000 envelopes as above , c has a rate of 1000 envelopes per hour . which makes machine b ' s rate as 1400 envelopes per hour . thus , it will take 8 hours to manufacture 12000 envelopes . answer : - e
