Mentoring Engineers: Alligation or Mixture

The document contains 3 sections - Alligation or Mixture (questions 1-6), Percentage (questions 1-27), and Time & Distance (questions 1-3). The sections contain multiple choice questions related to concepts in alligation/mixture, percentage, and time/distance calculations. Specifically, the questions test solving problems involving ratios, proportions, calculation of percentages, and determining time/speed based on distance and rates of movement.

PARTNERSHIP

Introduction: Sometimes two or more than two persons agree to run a business jointly. They are called
partners and the deal is known as partnership.
i. When capitals of all the partners are invested for the same time, the gains or losses in the business
are divided among the partners in the ratio of their investments.
ii. When capitals of partners are invested for different time, then equivalent capitals are obtained for 1
unit of time by multiplying the capital with the number of units. The gains or losses are now divided
among partners in the ratio of these capitals.
iii. A partner who manages the business is called a working partner while the one who simply invests
money but does not look after the business is called a sleeping partner.

CHAIN RULE
The method of finding the fourth proportional when the other three are given is called Simple Proportion or
Rule of Three. Repeated use of the rule of three is called Compound Proportion.
Direct Proportion: Two quantities are said to be directly proportional if on the increase or decrease of the
one, the other increases or decreases to the same extent. For example
i. Cost of articles is directly proportional to number of articles. i.e., more articles, more cost & less
articles, less cost.
ii. The work done is directly proportional to the number of men employed to do the work. i.e., more
men, more work and less men, less work.
Indirect Proportion: Two quantities are said to be indirectly proportional if on the increase of the one, the
other decreases to the same extent and vice-versa. For example
i. Less number of days required to finish a work, more persons are to be employed.
ii. The time taken to cover a distance is inversely proportional to the speed of the car. i.e., more speed,
less is the time taken.

TIME & DISTANCE; BOATS & STREAMS

Formulae:
1. If the speed of a boat in still water be x km/hr and the speed of the stream be y km/hr, then:
Speed of boat along the stream (i.e. downstream) = (x + y) km/hour.
Speed of boat against the stream (i.e. upstream) = (x – y) km/hour.

2. If a man rows in still water at x km/hour and the rate of current (or stream) is y km/hour,
then
Man’s rate with the current = (x + y) km/hour
Man’s rate against the current = (x – y) km/hour

3. Rate in still water = ½ [(rate with the current) + (rate against the current)]
4. Rate of current = ½ [(rate with the current) - (rate against the current)]
