Aditya Kumar answered |
let monday be m
then tuesday=3m
and they have given wednesday as 4000 cheques
so total three days she processed 16000 cheques i.e
m+3m+4000=16000
4m+4000=16000
4m=12000
m=3000.
so she processed cheques on tuesday=3*3000=9000.

Explanation:
The error is in option A) "I was astonished by the highly exciting tricks."
Reason:
The error in this sentence lies in the use of the word "highly." The word "highly" is usually used to modify adjectives, not verbs. In this case, the word "exciting" is an adjective, and it is being used to describe the noun "tricks."
Correction:
To correct the error, we need to use an adverb instead of the adjective "exciting." The correct word to use in this context is "excitingly," which is the adverb form of the word "exciting." Therefore, the corrected sentence becomes:
"I was astonished by the excitingly tricks."
Alternatively, we can rephrase the sentence to maintain the adjective form of "exciting" by using a linking verb. The corrected sentence would be:
"I was astonished by how exciting the tricks were."
Both of these corrections maintain the meaning of the sentence while correcting the grammatical error.

If 12 file cabinets require 18 feet of wall space, how many feet of wall space will 30 cabinets require?
Correct answer is '45'. Can you explain this answer?
If 12 file cabinets require 18 feet of wall space, how many feet of wall space will 30 cabinets require?

Sagar Sharma answered |
Given information:
- 12 file cabinets require 18 feet of wall space.
To find:
- The number of feet of wall space required for 30 cabinets.
Step 1: Finding the ratio of cabinets to wall space
To find the ratio of cabinets to wall space, we can divide the number of cabinets by the amount of wall space they require.
Ratio = Number of cabinets / Amount of wall space
In this case, the ratio can be calculated as follows:
Ratio = 12 cabinets / 18 feet
Ratio = 2/3 cabinets per foot
Step 2: Calculating the wall space required for 30 cabinets
Now that we know the ratio, we can calculate the amount of wall space required for 30 cabinets.
Wall space required = 30 cabinets / Ratio
Substituting the value of the ratio, we get:
Wall space required = 30 cabinets / (2/3 cabinets per foot)
Simplifying the expression:
Wall space required = 30 cabinets * (3/2 cabinets per foot)
Wall space required = 45 feet
Therefore, 30 cabinets will require 45 feet of wall space.

Sagar Sharma answered |
To determine Sanju's position from the other end, we need to subtract his position from the total number of students in the class.
Given:
Total number of students in the class = 40
Sanju's position from one end = 30
To find Sanju's position from the other end, we can use the formula:
Position from the other end = Total number of students - Sanju's position + 1
Let's plug in the values:
Position from the other end = 40 - 30 + 1
Position from the other end = 11
Therefore, Sanju's position from the other end is 11th.
Explanation:
Sanju is at the 30th place from one end of the class. This means that there are 29 students ahead of him in the class. In order to find his position from the other end, we need to count the number of students behind him.
We know that the total number of students in the class is 40. So, if Sanju is at the 30th place from one end, there are 40 - 30 = 10 students behind him.
However, we need to include Sanju himself in the count, so we add 1 to the number of students behind him.
Therefore, Sanju's position from the other end is 10 + 1 = 11.
Given:
Total number of students in the class = 40
Sanju's position from one end = 30
To find Sanju's position from the other end, we can use the formula:
Position from the other end = Total number of students - Sanju's position + 1
Let's plug in the values:
Position from the other end = 40 - 30 + 1
Position from the other end = 11
Therefore, Sanju's position from the other end is 11th.
Explanation:
Sanju is at the 30th place from one end of the class. This means that there are 29 students ahead of him in the class. In order to find his position from the other end, we need to count the number of students behind him.
We know that the total number of students in the class is 40. So, if Sanju is at the 30th place from one end, there are 40 - 30 = 10 students behind him.
However, we need to include Sanju himself in the count, so we add 1 to the number of students behind him.
Therefore, Sanju's position from the other end is 10 + 1 = 11.

Given Information:
- Nivedita is 15th from the left.
- Vimla is 23rd from the right.
- When Nivedita and Vimla interchange their positions, Nivedita becomes 18th from the left.
Understanding the Problem:
We need to find the new position of Vimla from the right after Nivedita and Vimla interchange their positions.
Solution:
1. Initially, Nivedita is at the 15th position from the left.
2. Vimla is at the 23rd position from the right.
3. After interchanging their positions, Nivedita becomes the 18th person from the left.
4. To find the new position of Vimla, we need to calculate the total number of people in the row.
5. Let's assume the total number of people in the row is 'x'.
6. Therefore, the position of Vimla from the right will be (x - 23 + 1) = (x - 22).
7. Also, the position of Nivedita from the left will be (15 - 1) = 14.
8. According to the given information, after interchanging their positions, Nivedita becomes the 18th person from the left.
9. Therefore, the position of Vimla from the left will be (18 - 1) = 17.
10. As the total number of people in the row is the same before and after the interchange, we can equate the positions of Vimla from the left and right.
11. So, (x - 22) = 17.
12. Solving the equation, we get x = 39.
13. Therefore, the new position of Vimla from the right will be (39 - 22) = 17.
Final Answer:
After interchanging their positions, Vimla will be at the 17th position from the right.
- Nivedita is 15th from the left.
- Vimla is 23rd from the right.
- When Nivedita and Vimla interchange their positions, Nivedita becomes 18th from the left.
Understanding the Problem:
We need to find the new position of Vimla from the right after Nivedita and Vimla interchange their positions.
Solution:
1. Initially, Nivedita is at the 15th position from the left.

Sagar Sharma answered |
The error is in option B: "to have lived in the present century."
Explanation:
The sentence talks about the present century and the realization of how our ancestors suffered from the belief in the existence of evil spirits. However, the use of the phrase "to have lived in the present century" is incorrect because it implies that the speaker is currently alive in the present century.
The sentence should instead refer to the people who lived in the past and experienced the suffering caused by the belief in evil spirits.
Correction:
To correct the error in option B, the sentence should be revised as follows:
We, who are fortunate enough to live in the present century, hardly realize how our ancestors suffered from the belief in the existence of evil spirits.
This revised sentence properly indicates that the speaker and the intended audience are currently alive in the present century, while acknowledging the suffering of their ancestors in the past.
In summary, the error in this sentence lies in the incorrect use of the phrase "to have lived in the present century." The correct version of the sentence should indicate that the speaker and the intended audience are currently alive in the present century.

Calculating Lines Printed per Minute by a Computer Printer
Given Information:
- Number of lines printed in a day: 176,400
- Hours the printer was in operation: 7
To find:
- Number of lines printed per minute
Solution:
To calculate the number of lines printed per minute, we need to find the total number of minutes the printer was in operation, and then divide the total number of lines printed by the number of minutes.
Calculating the Total Minutes the Printer was in Operation:
- Hours the printer was in operation: 7
- We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour, so we can calculate the total number of minutes as follows: 7 x 60 = 420 minutes
Calculating the Number of Lines Printed per Minute:
- Number of lines printed in a day: 176,400
- Total minutes the printer was in operation: 420
- To find the number of lines printed per minute, we divide the total number of lines printed by the total number of minutes as follows: 176,400 ÷ 420 = 420
Therefore, the computer printer printed 420 lines per minute during the seven hours it was in operation.

To calculate the number of lines printed per minute, we need to find the total number of minutes the printer was in operation, and then divide the total number of lines printed by the number of minutes.
Calculating the Total Minutes the Printer was in Operation:
- Hours the printer was in operation: 7
- We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour, so we can calculate the total number of minutes as follows: 7 x 60 = 420 minutes
Calculating the Number of Lines Printed per Minute:
- Number of lines printed in a day: 176,400
- Total minutes the printer was in operation: 420
- To find the number of lines printed per minute, we divide the total number of lines printed by the total number of minutes as follows: 176,400 ÷ 420 = 420
Therefore, the computer printer printed 420 lines per minute during the seven hours it was in operation.

Sagar Sharma answered |
Given information:
- 20% of the men attended the annual company picnic.
- 40% of the women attended the annual company picnic.
- 35% of all the employees are men.
To find:
- What percent of all the employees went to the picnic?
Step 1: Identify the percentage of women in the company
Since 35% of all the employees are men, the remaining employees must be women. Therefore, the percentage of women in the company can be calculated as:
100% - 35% = 65%
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of employees who attended the picnic
To find the percentage of all employees who attended the picnic, we need to consider both men and women.
Percentage of men who attended the picnic = 20%
Percentage of women who attended the picnic = 40%
Now, we need to calculate the overall percentage of employees who attended the picnic. Since the total number of employees is divided into men and women, we can calculate the overall percentage by taking the average of the two percentages.
Overall percentage of employees who attended the picnic = (Percentage of men who attended + Percentage of women who attended) / 2
= (20% + 40%) / 2
= 60% / 2
= 30%
Step 3: Conclusion
The overall percentage of employees who attended the annual company picnic is 30%.
- 20% of the men attended the annual company picnic.
- 40% of the women attended the annual company picnic.
- 35% of all the employees are men.
To find:
- What percent of all the employees went to the picnic?
Step 1: Identify the percentage of women in the company
Since 35% of all the employees are men, the remaining employees must be women. Therefore, the percentage of women in the company can be calculated as:
100% - 35% = 65%
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of employees who attended the picnic
To find the percentage of all employees who attended the picnic, we need to consider both men and women.
Percentage of men who attended the picnic = 20%
Percentage of women who attended the picnic = 40%
Now, we need to calculate the overall percentage of employees who attended the picnic. Since the total number of employees is divided into men and women, we can calculate the overall percentage by taking the average of the two percentages.
Overall percentage of employees who attended the picnic = (Percentage of men who attended + Percentage of women who attended) / 2
= (20% + 40%) / 2
= 60% / 2
= 30%
Step 3: Conclusion
The overall percentage of employees who attended the annual company picnic is 30%.

A 16 stored building has 12000 sq.feet on each floor. Company A rents 7 floors and company B rents 4 floors. What is the number of sq.feet of unrented floor space.
|
|
Aarav Sharma answered |
Solution:
Given,
Total number of floors = 16
Area of each floor = 12000 sq.feet
Area of the entire building = 12000 * 16 = 192000 sq.feet
Company A rents 7 floors = 12000 * 7 = 84000 sq.feet
Company B rents 4 floors = 12000 * 4 = 48000 sq.feet
Total rented area = 84000 + 48000 = 132000 sq.feet
Unrented area = Total area of the building - Total rented area
= 192000 - 132000
= 60000 sq.feet
Therefore, the number of sq.feet of unrented floor space is 60000.
Explanation:
We are given the area of each floor in the building and the number of floors rented by two different companies. We need to find the unrented floor space in the building, i.e., the area of the floors that are not rented.
To find the unrented floor space, we first need to calculate the total area of the building. This can be done by multiplying the area of each floor by the total number of floors in the building.
Next, we calculate the total area rented by Company A and Company B by multiplying the area of each floor by the number of floors rented by each company.
Finally, we subtract the total rented area from the total area of the building to get the unrented floor space.
In this case, the unrented floor space is 60000 sq.feet.
Given,
Total number of floors = 16
Area of each floor = 12000 sq.feet
Area of the entire building = 12000 * 16 = 192000 sq.feet
Company A rents 7 floors = 12000 * 7 = 84000 sq.feet
Company B rents 4 floors = 12000 * 4 = 48000 sq.feet
Total rented area = 84000 + 48000 = 132000 sq.feet
Unrented area = Total area of the building - Total rented area
= 192000 - 132000
= 60000 sq.feet
Therefore, the number of sq.feet of unrented floor space is 60000.
Explanation:
We are given the area of each floor in the building and the number of floors rented by two different companies. We need to find the unrented floor space in the building, i.e., the area of the floors that are not rented.
To find the unrented floor space, we first need to calculate the total area of the building. This can be done by multiplying the area of each floor by the total number of floors in the building.

Finally, we subtract the total rented area from the total area of the building to get the unrented floor space.
In this case, the unrented floor space is 60000 sq.feet.

Aarav Sharma answered |
**Given Information:**
- Two computers produced a total of 48000 public utility bills in a day.
- Computer 1 printed bills at a rate of 9600 bills per hour.
- Computer 2 printed bills at a rate of 7800 bills per hour.
**Calculating the Total Time Taken:**
To find out how many bills the second computer had to print after the first computer finished its run, we need to calculate the total time taken by both computers.
Let's assume the first computer took 'x' hours to finish printing all the bills.
- The first computer printed at a rate of 9600 bills per hour.
- So, the number of bills printed by the first computer in 'x' hours = 9600x.
Since the total number of bills is 48000, the number of bills printed by the second computer can be calculated as:
- Number of bills printed by the second computer = Total number of bills - Number of bills printed by the first computer
- Number of bills printed by the second computer = 48000 - (9600x)
**Calculating the Time Taken by the Second Computer:**
The second computer printed at a rate of 7800 bills per hour. So, we can calculate the time taken by the second computer to print the remaining bills as:
- Time taken by the second computer = (Number of bills printed by the second computer) / (Rate of printing of the second computer)
- Time taken by the second computer = (48000 - 9600x) / 7800
**Calculating the Remaining Bills:**
Now, we need to find the number of bills the second computer still had to print after the first computer finished its run. This can be calculated as:
- Remaining bills = Number of bills printed by the second computer - Number of bills printed by the second computer in 'x' hours
- Remaining bills = (48000 - 9600x) - (7800 * x)
Simplifying the equation:
- Remaining bills = 48000 - 9600x - 7800x
- Remaining bills = 48000 - 17400x
**Substituting the Value of x:**
We know that the first computer took 'x' hours to finish printing the bills. To find the value of 'x', we can use the equation:
- Number of bills printed by the first computer = 9600x = 48000
Solving for x:
- x = 48000 / 9600
- x = 5
Substituting the value of x into the equation for remaining bills:
- Remaining bills = 48000 - 17400(5)
- Remaining bills = 48000 - 87000
- Remaining bills = -39000
Since the number of remaining bills cannot be negative, there seems to be an error in the given information or calculations. Please double-check the values provided to ensure accuracy.

**Finding the Heavy Ball: 8 Weighings**
To find the heavy ball out of 6561 balls, we can use a balanced scale to compare groups of balls against each other. By dividing the balls into smaller groups and comparing their weights, we can narrow down the search for the heavy ball.
**Dividing the Balls**
First, we need to divide the 6561 balls into smaller groups to weigh them. We will divide them into 3 groups, each containing 2187 balls.
**First Weighing: Group A vs. Group B**
Weigh Group A (2187 balls) against Group B (2187 balls) on the scale.
- If the scale is balanced, it means the heavy ball is not in Group A or Group B. Proceed to the next steps.
