  • Ibps clerk exam analysis

    ibps clerk 3rd shift 5 Oct 2025 english parajumble

    On a recent Sunday afternoon at Shatila Bakery in Dearborn, Michigan, a line of customers were crowded around display cases filled with flaky baklava, mounds of meshabek (Egyptian funnel cake) and golden-brown Lebanese-style macarons. As employees rushed to fill orders, locals excitedly spoke to each other in a mixture of Arabic and English, with one quipping to a friend, “There go my plans for eating healthy!” 

    In many ways, Shatila is a microcosm of Dearborn. Started by a Lebanese immigrant in the 1970s, the 45-year-old bakery is surrounded by dozens of Arab American-owned restaurants, businesses, markets, halal butcher shops, hair salons and mosques. Signs in both Arabic and English line Dearborn’s two biggest throughfares – Warren Avenue and Michigan Avenue – and over the past century this city located just outside of Detroit that has long been synonymous with Ford Motor Company auto manufacturing has blossomed into arguably the most Arab place in America. 

    In 2023, Dearborn became the first Arab-majority city in the US. The 110,000-person city is home to both the Arab American National Museum and the largest mosque in North America. It’s one of the few US cities whose mayor is both Muslim and Arab, the first US city to make Eid a paid holiday for city employees and one of only a handful of places in the country where the Islamic adhan (call to prayer) is allowed to be broadcast from a mosque’s loudspeakers. It is, as one local told me, “the motherland away from the motherland”.

  • Mixture and Alligation – Complete Notes in Hinglish (2025 Updated)

    Mixture and Alligation ke questions competitive exams mein bahut common hote hain. Yeh topic profit-loss aur ratio ke concepts se linked hota hai. Neeche diye gaye sabhi formulas, theorems aur tricks aapke blog ke liye SEO-friendly format mein ready hain.

    📘 Basic Concepts

    • Mixture: Jab do ya zyada components (jaise milk + water) ko mix kiya jata hai.
    • Alligation Rule: Ek shortcut method hai average value nikalne ke liye jab do alag-alag values mix ho rahi ho.
    No.📘 Theorem Name🧠 Concept Summary (Hinglish)
    1Alligation RuleCheaper aur dearer values ka ratio nikalne ka shortcut
    2Weighted AverageMultiple items ka average value calculate karna
    3Equal Quantity ShortcutJab quantity same ho, simple average use hota hai
    4Successive ReplacementLiquid replace hone par final quantity ka formula
    5Alligation Line MethodVisual method for ratio calculation
    6Mixture PurityMixture mein pure part ka percentage
    7Profit-Based AlligationCost aur selling price ka mix for profit calculation
    8Multiple Mixtures3+ items mix karne ka stepwise method
    9Time-Based MixingContinuous inflow-outflow ka net effect
    10Reverse AlligationGiven average se ratio nikalna

    🔹 1. Alligation Rule

    📌 Formula: (Cheaper – Mean) : (Mean – Dearer) = Quantity Ratio

    Examples:

    1. Milk ₹20/litre + ₹30/litre → Mixture ₹25/litre ⇒ Ratio = (30–25):(25–20) = 5:5 = 1:1
    2. Alcohol 10% + Alcohol 40% → Mixture 25% ⇒ Ratio = (40–25):(25–10) = 15:15 = 1:1
    3. Sugar ₹15/kg + ₹25/kg → Mixture ₹20/kg ⇒ Ratio = (25–20):(20–15) = 5:5 = 1:1

    🔹 2. Weighted Average Theorem

    📌 Formula: Average = (Q₁×V₁ + Q₂×V₂ + … + Qₙ×Vₙ) / (Q₁ + Q₂ + … + Qₙ)

    Where:

    • Q = Quantity
    • V = Value (price, concentration, etc.)

    Examples:

    1. 2L milk @ ₹20 + 3L milk @ ₹30 ⇒ Average = (2×20 + 3×30) / 5 = ₹26
    2. 5kg rice @ ₹40 + 7kg rice @ ₹50 ⇒ Average = (5×40 + 7×50)/12 = ₹46.67
    3. 3L alcohol @ 10% + 2L @ 30% ⇒ Average = (3×10 + 2×30)/5 = 18%

    🔹 3. Equal Quantity Shortcut ( if both quantity equal )

    📌 Formula: Average = (Value₁ + Value₂) / 2

    Examples:

    1. ₹20 + ₹30 milk = ₹25/litre
    2. 10% + 40% alcohol = 25%
    3. ₹15 + ₹25 sugar = ₹20/kg

    🔹 4. Successive Replacement Theorem

    📌 Formula: Final Quantity = Initial × (1 – Replaced/Total)ⁿ

    Where:

    • n = Number of replacements

    Examples:

    1. 20L milk, 5L replaced once ⇒ Final = 20 × (1 – 5/20) = 15L
    2. 10L alcohol, 2L replaced twice ⇒ Final = 10 × (1 – 2/10)² = 6.4L
    3. 30L solution, 6L replaced thrice ⇒ Final = 30 × (1 – 6/30)³ = 17.576L

    🔹 5. Alligation Line Method

    📌 Formula: Draw line → Left: Cheaper | Middle: Mean | Right: Dearer Then subtract crosswise to get ratio.

    Ek line draw karo:

    • Left end pe cheaper value
    • Right end pe dearer value
    • Middle mein mean value
    • Cross subtraction se ratio milta hai

    🧪 Examples:

    1. ₹20 & ₹30 → ₹25 ⇒ Ratio = (30–25):(25–20) = 5:5 = 1:1
    2. 10% & 40% → 25% ⇒ Ratio = (40–25):(25–10) = 15:15 = 1:1
    3. ₹15 & ₹25 → ₹20 ⇒ Ratio = (25–20):(20–15) = 5:5 = 1:1

    🔹 6. Mixture Purity Theorem

    📌 Formula: Purity % = (Pure Quantity / Total Quantity) × 100

    Agar ek mixture mein kuch part impure ho (jaise alcohol-water) toh

    🧪 Examples:

    1. 8L milk + 2L water ⇒ Purity = (8/10)×100 = 80%
    2. 6L alcohol + 4L water ⇒ Purity = (6/10)×100 = 60%
    3. 9L petrol + 1L kerosene ⇒ Purity = (9/10)×100 = 90%

    🔹 7. Profit-Based Alligation

    📌 Formula: Profit % = (Selling Price – Cost Price) / Cost Price × 100

    Jab cost price aur selling price ka mixture ho toh use this with alligation to find best mix for max profit.

    Examples:

    1. Cost ₹20, Sell ₹25 ⇒ Profit = (25–20)/20 × 100 = 25%
    2. Mix ₹15 & ₹30 → Sell @ ₹25 ⇒ Use alligation to find ratio and profit
    3. ₹10 & ₹40 mix → Sell @ ₹30 ⇒ Apply alligation + profit formula

    🔹 8. Multiple Mixtures Theorem

    📌 Formula: Stepwise alligation: Mix first two → then mix result with third

    Jab 3 ya zyada items mix ho rahe ho:

    Step-by-step pairwise alligation apply karo → Pehle 2 ka average lo → Usko teesre ke saath mix karo

    🧪 Examples:

    1. ₹20 & ₹30 → ₹25, then mix with ₹40 ⇒ Step 1: ₹25, Step 2: ₹25 & ₹40 → ₹32.5
    2. Alcohol 10%, 30%, 50% ⇒ Step 1: 10 & 30 → 20%, Step 2: 20 & 50 → 35%
    3. Rice ₹40, ₹50, ₹60 ⇒ Step 1: ₹40 & ₹50 → ₹45, Step 2: ₹45 & ₹60 → ₹52.5

    🔹 9. Time-Based Mixing Theorem

    📌 Formula: Final Quantity = Initial × (1 – Replaced/Total)ⁿ

    Agar ek tank continuously fill ho raha ho aur simultaneously kuch liquid nikal raha ho:

    Use differential rate concept → Net rate = Inflow – Outflow → Apply replacement formula if needed

    Examples:

    1. Tank 100L, 10L replaced daily for 3 days ⇒ Final = 100 × (1 – 10/100)³ = 72.9L
    2. 50L milk, 5L replaced twice ⇒ Final = 50 × (1 – 5/50)² = 40.5L
    3. 30L solution, 6L replaced once ⇒ Final = 30 × (1 – 6/30) = 24L

    🔹 10. Reverse Alligation Theorem

    📌 Formula: Use basic alligation in reverse to find ratio

    Agar mixture ka average diya ho aur ratio nikalna ho:

    Use basic alligation rule in reverse → Mean value se dono ends subtract karo → Ratio milta hai

    🧪 Examples:

    1. Mixture ₹25, items ₹20 & ₹30 ⇒ Ratio = (30–25):(25–20) = 1:1
    2. Mixture 25% alcohol, items 10% & 40% ⇒ Ratio = (40–25):(25–10) = 1:1
    3. Mixture ₹20, items ₹15 & ₹25 ⇒ Ratio = (25–20):(20–15) = 1:1
