Two metals A and B are to be used for making two different alloys. There are only 506 kg of A and 322 kg of B. If the ratio by weight of A to B in the first alloy is 5 : 3 and that in the second is 4 : 7, find what weight of each alloy must be produced so that no metal will be left over.

Option 1 - <p>Alloy I = 784, Alloy II = 44</p>
Option 2 - <p>Alloy I = 824, Alloy II = 68</p>
Option 3 - <p>Alloy I = 774, Alloy II = 82</p>
Option 4 - <p>Alloy I = 796, Alloy II = 40</p>

Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:

 

A

B

I

5x

3x

II

4y

7y

5x + 4y = 253         …. (1)

3x + 7y = 161         …. (2)

On solving equations (1) & (2), we get

x = 49 and y = 2.

Hence, type I Alloy = 392 kg, and Type II Alloy = 22 kg

It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0

? b and c

( s i n x c o s x ) s i n 2 x t a n x ( s i n 3 x + c o s 3 x ) d x

( s i n x c o s x ) s i n x c o s x s i n 3 x + c o s 3 x d x , put sin3x + cos3x = t(3 sin2x×cosx – 3cos2xsinx) dx = dt

-> 1 3 d t t

= l n t 3 + c

= l n | s i n 3 x + c o s 3 x | 3 + c
