Thirty men take 20 days to complete a job working 9 hours a day.

How many hour a day should 40 men work to complete the job? (a) (b) (c) (d) 8 7 7 9 hrs 1/2 hrs hrs hrs

in both cases work is constant. M1*T1=M2*T2 30*20*9=40*T2 T2=135 hrs go to answers only 9 can divide the 135. Ans.d

Let the three numbers in GP: a/r, a, ar---------(A) Where '^' is power of . . . Sum of these numbers are: a/r +a +ar = 38 a(1\r+1+r) = 38 ---- (1) Product of these numbers are: a^3 = 1728 = (12)^3 a = 12 Putting the value of a in (1) you will get: 12(1\r+1+r) = 38 And factorising, we get r = 2/3 or r = 3/2 Sub. the r and a value in (A), we get 8,12,18 or 18,12,8. When a = 12 And smallest no. is 8.

Pipe A can fill in 20 minutes and Pipe B in 30 mins and Pipe C can empty the same in 40 mins.If all of them work together, find the time taken to fill the tank (a) 17 1/7 mins (b) 20 mins (c) 8 mins (d) none of these

Let Say tank size is 100 galon Pipe A takes 20 mins to fill 100 galon So in 1 Min # 100/20= 5 galon Pipe b takes 30 mins to fill 100 galon So in 1 Min # 100/30= 3.34 galon pipe c takec 40 mins to empty the 100 galon so in 1 Min # 100/40= 2.5 galon Now if all work together: (5+3.34)-2.5=5.84 galon fill in one minute, so 100 galon fill in 100/5.84= 17.124 minutes. The Answer is A. 17 1/7 mins.

You need to find out how many students failed in at least on of the papers. 70% passed in first paper so 30% failed in it. 60% passed in second, so 40% failed in it and 15% failed in both. Let the total students be x now number of students failing in first paper is 0.3x let it be A Number of students failing in second paper is 0.4x let it be B Number of students failing in both papers is A B = .15x

Now the number of students failing in any one of the subjects is A U B = A+B - A B = 0.3x + 0.4x - 0.15x =.55x Now the students who passed in both papers = x-0.55x = 0.45x From given data, 0.45x =270 so x =270/.45 =600 There are 600 students in total.

I picked a number of apples from my orchard on my way to home i met my son and gave him 2/3 of the apples i then ate one apple and then called my neighbours and gave him 3/4 of the apples i arrived home with just 4 apples. how many apples did i pick originally?

Let it be x. then 2x/3 + 1 + 3y/4 + 4 =x.....where y= x-(2x/3 + 1) = x/3 - 1 solving we get 2x/3 + 5 + x/4 - 3/4 =x 17/4 + x/4 = x/3 x/12 = 17/4 x = (17/4)*12 = 51

A goat is tied to one corner of a square plot of side 12m by a rope 7m long. Find the area it can graze?
Imagine a square yard that is fenced in, 12m long by 12m wide. Now tie the goat to a corner of the fence and leave the goat inside the yard. Use a 7m rope to tie him in. How much area will he be able to cover? He'll be able to cover 1/4 of a circle with a radius of 7m. So, let's find the area. The area of a full circle is: A = pi * r^2 So, the area of 1/4 of a circle is: A = 1/4 * pi * r^2 and we know r is 7, so: A = 1/4 * pi * 7^2 A = 1/4 * pi * 49 A = 12.25 * pi A = 38.48451 square meters
