15 lts are taken of from a container full of liquid a and replaced with liquid b . again 15 more lts of the mixture is taken and replaced with liquid b . after this process , if the container contains liquid a and b in the ratio 9 : 16 , what is the capacity of the container m ?

5 percent of a certain grass seed is timothy . if the amount of the mixture needed to plant one acre contains 2 pounds of timothy , how many acres can be planted with 600 pounds of the seed mixture ?
if the mixture contains 2 pounds of timothy , the mixture must be 40 pounds . thus we need 40 pounds of mixture per acre . 600 / 40 = 15 acres the answer is b .

find the area of a rhombus one side of which measures 20 cm and one diagonal is 25 cm .
"explanation : let other diagonal = 2 x cm . since diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles , we have : ( 20 ) 2 = ( 12 ) 2 + ( x ) 2 = > x = √ ( 20 ) 2 – ( 12 ) 2 = √ 256 = 16 cm . _ i so , other diagonal = 32 cm . area of rhombus = ( 1 / 2 ) x ( product of diagonals ) = ( 1 / 2 Γ— 25 x 32 ) cm 2 = 400 cm 2 answer : option d"
a = 1 / 2 b = a * 25 c = 20 * 20 d = c * 4 e = 25 * 25 f = d - e g = math.sqrt(f) h = b * g i = h + 25
