20 people (men,woman,children) earn 20 coins between them.Each man earns 3 coins,each woman earns 1-1/2 coins and each child earns 1/2 coin. How many men, women and children are there?

Posted by Aanvi Gupta (May 25, 2017 12:50 p.m.) (Question ID: 5482)

• Ans. let the number of men, women and children be denoted by M, W and C respectively.

Then

M + W + C = 20    ....... (1)

3M + 1.5 W + 0.5 C = 20  ........ (2)

Multiply equation (2) by (2)

6M + 3W + C = 40    ........(3)

From (1) and (2)

W + C = 20 - M ..........(4)

3 W + C = 40 - 6M     ...... (5)

The above equations will be solved for W and C in terms of M

W = 10 - {tex}{5M\over 2} {/tex}  and  C = 10  +  {tex} {3M\over 2}{/tex}

Because W and C have to be positive integers greater than 1 we conclude

(a) M is an even number.

(b) W {tex}\ge{/tex} 1 implies {tex}{5M\over 2 } \le 9{/tex}

it is seen W = 5 and C = 13 when M = 2 . Also {tex}{5M\over 2} = 5 \lt 9{/tex}

but When M is greater than 2 the condition is false . So

The only solution is M = 2, W =5 and C = 13

So Number of Men = 2

Number of Women = 5

Number of Children = 13

While three watchman were guarding an onchard,a thief slipped into and stole some apple. On this way out,he met the three watchman one after another and to each in turn he gave half the apples he had and two besides. In this way he managed to flee away with one apple. How many apples had he stolen originally?

Posted by Shalini Khandelwal (May 16, 2017 7:41 a.m.) (Question ID: 5323)

• Ans. let the number of apples he stole = x

Case 1 : Apples given to the first watchmen = {tex}{x\over 2} + 2 = {x+4\over 2}{/tex}

Apples remained  =  {tex}x - {x+4\over 2} = {2x-x-4\over 2} = {x-4\over 2}{/tex}

Case 1 :  Apples given to the second watchmen = {tex}{{x-4\over 2}\over 2} + 2 = {x-4\over 4} +2 {/tex}

{tex}= {x-4 + 8\over 4} = {x+4\over 4}{/tex}

Apples remained = {tex}{x-4\over 2} - {x+4\over 4} = {2x-8-x-4\over 4} = {x-12\over 4}{/tex}

Case 1 :  Apples given to third watchmen = {tex}{{x-12\over 4}\over 2} + 2 = {x-12\over 8}+2 {/tex}

{tex}= {x-12+16\over 8} = {x+4\over 8}{/tex}

Apples Remained = {tex}{x-12\over 4} -{x+4\over 8} = {2x-24-x-4\over 8} = {x-28\over 8}{/tex}

According to question :
{tex}{x-28\over 8} = 1 {/tex}

=> x - 28 = 8

=> x = 8+28

=> x = 36

So No of Apples he stole = 36

Two planes are flying towards each other and the difference between their speeds is 60km/have. If they are 2400km apart and passes each other after 5 hours,find their speeds.

Posted by Yash Thadani (May 07, 2017 7:43 p.m.) (Question ID: 5150)

• Let the speed of First plane is x km/hr and second plane is (x + 60) km/hr.

Time taken to pass each other = 5 hours.

Than, Distance covered by first plane in 5 hours = speed × time = x × 5 = 5x.

Distance covered by second plane in 5 hours = speed × time = (x + 60) 5 = 5x + 300

Distance coverec by first plane + distance covered by second plane = 2400 km

5x + (5x + 300) = 2400

10x + 300 = 2400

10x = 2400 - 300 = 2100

x = {tex}{{2100} \over {10}}\, = \,210{/tex}

Hence, the speed of first plane is = x = 210 km/hr

and the speed of second plane is = x + 60 = 210 + 60 = 270 km/hr

The speed if boat in still water is 30 km/hr. it takes the same time for the boat to travel 5 km upstream and 10 km downstream find the speed of the stream.

Posted by Yash Thadani (May 07, 2017 12:02 a.m.) (Question ID: 5143)

• Let the speed of the stream be {tex}x{/tex} km/hr.

We know that, Speed = {tex}{{{\rm{Distance}}} \over {{\rm{Time}}}}{/tex}

Speed in upstream = (x -30) Km/h and Speed in downstream =(x + 30) Km/h

Then, Time = {tex}{{{\rm{Distance}}} \over {{\rm{Speed}}}}{/tex}

According to question,

{tex}{5 \over {x - 30}} = {{10} \over {x + 30}}{/tex}

=>          {tex}5\left( {x + 30} \right) = 10\left( {x - 30} \right){/tex}

=>          {tex}5x+150=10x-300{/tex}

=>          {tex}10x-5x=150+300{/tex}

A boat travels 20 km upstream in a river in the same period of time as it takes to travel 30 km downstream if the rate of the stream is 4 km/hr find the speed of boat in still water.

Posted by Yash Thadani (May 06, 2017 10:57 a.m.) (Question ID: 5133)

• Ans. Let the speed of boat in still water = x Km/h

rate of stream = 4 Km/h

So, Speed of Boat downstream = (x+4) Km/h

Speed of Boat upstream = (x-3) Km/h

Time Taken to travel 20 Km Upstream = {tex}{20\over x-4 }\space hour {/tex}

Time Taken to travel 30 Km Downstream = {tex}{30\over x+4} \space hour{/tex}

ATQ,

{tex}=> {20\over x-4} = {30\over x+4}{/tex}

{tex}=> 20x+ 80 = 30x - 120{/tex}

{tex}=> 30x - 20x = 120 + 80 {/tex}

{tex}=> 10 x = 200 {/tex}

=> x = 20

Speed of Boat in still water = 20 Km/h

A certain two digit number is equal to 9 times the sum of its digits.If 63 were subtracted from the number the digits would be reversed.Find the number.

Posted by priya Thadani (May 06, 2017 10:44 a.m.) (Question ID: 5132)

• Let the ones place digit be y and tens place be x, then the number be 10x + y.

According to quesiton,

10x + y = 9(x + y)

=>         10x + y = 9x + 9y

=>          10x - 9x = 9y - y

=>          x = 8y                               ..........(i)

Again according to second condition,

10x + y - 63 = 10y + x

=>          10 x - x + y - 10y = 63

=>          9x - 9y = 63

=>          x - y = 7

Putting the value of x from eq. (i), we get

8y - y = 7

=>         7y = 7

=>          y = 1

Putting the value of y in eq. (i), we get

x = 8 x 1 = 8

Therefore, the number is 10 x 8 + 1 = 81.

• Solution:

Let money he had in beginning = Rs. x

Money spend on first shop = {tex}2x\over 3{/tex}

Remaining Money = {tex}x - {2x\over 3} = {x \over 3}{/tex}

Money spend on 2nd shop = {tex} {2\over 3}\times {x \over 3} = {2x\over 9}{/tex}

Remaining Money = {tex}{x\over 3} - {2x\over 9} = {x \over 9}{/tex}

Money Spend on 3rd shop = {tex}{2\over 3} \times {x \over 9} = {2x\over 27}{/tex}

Remaining Money = {tex}{x \over 9}- {2x\over 27} = {x \over 27}{/tex}

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 84 meters .If the breadth of the field is increased by 2 meters and it's length is decreased by 4 meters ,the area is decreased by 32sq m.Find the length and breadth of the rectangular field.

Posted by Yash Thadani (May 03, 2017 2:37 p.m.) (Question ID: 5091)

• Ans. Perimeter of Field = 84 meter

Let Length of Field = x meter

Perimeter = {tex}2(x+breadth\space of \space field ){/tex}

=> {tex}84 = 2(x+breadth\space of \space field ){/tex}

{tex}=> 42 = x+breadth\space of \space field {/tex}

{tex}=> breadth\space of \space field = (42 - x ) meter{/tex}

Old Area = {tex}x\times (42-x) = 42x - x^2{/tex}

According to Ques,

New breadth = 42 - x + 2 = (44 - x) meter

New length  = (x - 4 ) meter

New Area = {tex}(44 - x) (x-4) = 44x - 176-x^2+4x {/tex}

So, New Area = Old Area - 32

=> {tex}44x - 176 -x^2 +4x = 42x-x^2 -32{/tex}

=> {tex}44x +4x - 42x -x^2 + x^2 = -32 + 176{/tex}

=> {tex}6x = 144{/tex}

=> x = 24

So, Length of Field = 24 meter

Breadth of Field = 42- 24 = 18 meter

Length of a rectangle is 6 cm more than its width.If it's length and breadth each is decreased by 3cm the area of new rectangle is decreased by 36 Sq cm.Find the original length and breadth of the original rectangle.

Posted by Yash Thadani (May 01, 2017 5:37 p.m.) (Question ID: 5071)

• Let the original Breadth of rectanlge be = x cm

and the original Length of rectangle be = (x + 6) cm

Therefore, Original Area = Length × Breadth = (x + 6) × x = x2 + 6x

Now, New Length = (x + 6) - 3 = x + 6 - 3 = x + 3

New Breadth = x - 3

Therefore, New Area = Length × Breadth = (x + 3) × (x - 3) = (x)2 - (3)2 = x2 - 9

According to Question

Original Area - New Area = 36 sq cm.

(x2 + 6x) - (x2 - 9) = 36

x2 + 6x - x2 + 9 = 36

6x + 9 = 36

6x = 36 - 9

6x = 27

x = {tex}{27\over6} = {9\over2}{/tex}

Hence, Original Length of Rectangle = x + 6 = {tex}{9\over 2} + 6 = {9 + 12\over 2} = {21\over 2} = 10.5{/tex}cm

Original Breadht of Rectangle = x = {tex}{9\over 2} = 4.5{/tex} cm

Posted by Senthil Nathan (Mar 23, 2017 7:31 p.m.) (Question ID: 4455)

• Total expenditure = 5% + 22% + 53% = 80%

Money left = 100% - 80% = 20%

Let total income be Rs. x.

According to question,

20% of x = 2163.40

20/100 × x = 2163.40

x = 2163.40 × 100 ÷ 20

x = Rs. 10817

Therefore total income is Rs. 10817.

A person throw bucjet if water of square shape if total water is 8 litre  . Find out side of bucket.

Posted by Rathi Kajal (Mar 20, 2017 11:18 p.m.) (Question ID: 4290)

• Ans. Volume of water = 8 L = 0.008m3

Let Side of bucket = x m

Volume of bucket = Volume of water

=> x3 = 0.008

=> x3 = (0.2)3

=> x = 0.2 m  = 20 cm

Side of bucket is 20 cm

There are chikens with color 50 yellow 50 black and 50 red. Find inique probability of all colors.

Posted by Rathi Kajal (Mar 20, 2017 11:17 p.m.) (Question ID: 4289)

• Number of yellow chickens = 50

Number of black chickens = 50

Number of red chickens = 50

Total number of chickens = 50 + 50 + 50 = 150

Therefore, Probability of yellow colour chickens = {tex}{{50} \over {150}}\, = \,{1 \over 3}{/tex}

Probability of black colour chickens = {tex}{{50} \over {150}}\, = \,{1 \over 3}{/tex}

Probability of red colour chickens = {tex}{{50} \over {150}}\, = \,{1 \over 3}{/tex}

At what rate % per annum will rs 50000 to rs 86400 in 3 years if interest compounded annually

Posted by Rathi Kajal (Mar 20, 2017 11:15 p.m.) (Question ID: 4288)

• Ans. Amount (A)= 86400

Time(n) = 3 years

Principal (P)= 50000

Let rate (r) = r%

Then We Know,

{tex}A = P \times ({1 +{r\over 100}})^n{/tex}

{tex}=> 86400 = 50000\times ({1+{r\over 100}})^3{/tex}

{tex}=> {86400\over 50000} = ({1+{r\over 100}})^3{/tex}

{tex}=> {216\over 125} = ({1+{r\over 100}})^3{/tex}

{tex}=> ({6\over 5})^3= ({1+{r\over 100}})^3{/tex}

On comparing, We get

{tex}=> ({6\over 5})= ({1+{r\over 100}}){/tex}

{tex}=> {6\over 5} - 1= {r\over 100}{/tex}

{tex}=> {1\over 5} = {r\over 100} => r = 20\%{/tex}

Find compound interest on rs 25000 for 1 and half year at 20% rate compounded half yearly.

Posted by Rathi Kajal (Mar 20, 2017 11:13 p.m.) (Question ID: 4287)

• Principal = Rs. 25000

Time = {tex}1{1 \over 2}\,year{/tex} = 3 Half Years

Rate = 20% p.a. = 10% Half yearly.

{tex}Amount\,\, = \,\,P{\left( {1\,\, + \,\,{R \over {100}}} \right)^n}\,\, = \,\,25000\,{\left( {1\,\, + \,\,{{10} \over {100}}} \right)^3}\,\, = \,\,25000\,{\left( {1\, + \,{1 \over {10}}} \right)^3}\, = \,25000\,{\left( {{{10\, + \,1} \over {10}}} \right)^3}{/tex}

{tex}= \,25000\, \times \,\,{{11} \over {10}}\,\, \times \,\,{{11} \over {10}}\,\, \times \,\,{{11} \over {10}}\,\, = \,\,Rs. 33275{/tex}

Compound Interest = Amount - Principal = Rs (33275 - 25000) = Rs. 8275
