Q.3
Milk = 42 * 18/35 + 48 * 13/20 = 264/5
Water = 42 * 17/35 + 48 * 7/20 = 186/5
Total Water= 186/5 + 20 = 286/5
Milk: Water = 264/5: 286/5 = 12: 13.

901 + 33 = 928
Q.14
Here the series is
11 * 7 – 7 * 5 = 42
42 * 6 – 6 * 6 = 216
216 * 5 – 5 * 7 = 1042
1045 * 4 – 4 * 8 = 4148
4148 * 3 – 3 * 9 = 12417
Q.15
Here the series is
488/2 +1.0 = 245
245/2 + 1.5 = 124
