Two identical solid pieces, one of gold and other of silver, when immersed completely in water exhibit equal weights. When weighed in air (given that density of gold is greater than that of silver)

Correct Answer: the silver piece will weighmore

As it is said that density of gold is greater than that of density of silver, so silver occupies a greater volume than gold. So it has more upthrust from the water, although they both show the same weight under water, there is more silver present. Hence silver piece will weigh more.

Two identical solid pieces, one of gold and other of silver, when immersed completely in water exhibit equal weights. When weighed in air (given that, density of gold is greater than that of silver),

Given that, 24 carat gold is pure gold, 18 carat gold is 3/4th of pure gold and 20 carat gold is 5/6th of pure gold, the ratio of the pure gold in 18 carat gold to the pure gold in 20 carat gold is -

Six coins of gold and silver of equal weights are melted and new coins are cast. The ratio of gold and silver in one of the coins is 2 : 1, in another two coins 3 : 5 and 7 : 5 in the remaining coins. What will be the ratio between gold and silver respectively in the new coins ?

A certain dentist specializes in implanting gold and silver teeth in his patients mouths .He charges $ 650 for a gold tooth an $ 325. for a silver tooth. If his told fees for implanting gold and silver teeth last week were $ 15, 925 in total and he implanted five more gold teeth that silver teeth, how many teeth in total did he implant over the week?

In a rare coin collection, all coins are either pure gold or pure silver , and there is initially one gold coin for every three silver coins . With the addition of 10 more gold coins to the collection, the ratio of gold coins to silver coins is 1 to 2. Based on this information , how many total coins are there now in this collection (after the acquisition)?

An alloy contains gold and silver in the ratio 5 : 8 and another alloy contains gold and silver in the ratio 5 : 3. If equal amount of both the alloys are melted together, then the ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy is ?

An intelligent boy is doing a jigsaw with 275 pieces. Each day that he fits pieces together there are fewer pieces left, and it is reasonable to assume that he fits more pieces each day because the number left to sort out diminishes progressively. Hence he is able to fit an extra piece as each day goes by. On the first day he fits 20 pieces. How many days does it take for him to complete the puzzle ?

Alloy A contains 40% gold and 60% silver. Alloy B contains 35% gold and 40% silver and 25% copper. Alloys A and B are mixed in the ratio of 1:4 .What is the ratio of gold and silver in the newly formed alloy is?

The depth of centre of pressure (h) for a vertically immersed surface from the liquid surface is given by (where $${I_{\text{G}}}$$ = Moment of inertia of the immersed surface about horizontal axis through its centre of gravity, A = Area of immersed surface and x = Depth of centre of gravity of the immersed surface from the liquid surface)

The sum of the weights of P and Q is more than that of R and S taken together. The weight of P is half as much as the sum of the weights of Q and S. The some of the weights of P and R is the same as the weights of Q and S taken together. Which of the following statements must be incorrect?
