  • d)
    40 days
  • e)
    None of these

Suyash Kant answered
10 men take 38 days, so the total work is 10x38=380 man days
18 women take the same time. Total work: 18x38=684 woman-days
6 men do 6/380, or 3/190 of the work per day
12 women do 12/684, or 1/57 of the work per day
Together, they do:
171/10830 +190/10830=361/10,830 per day
Total time: 10830/361=30 days

A number when divided by the sum of 555 and 445 gives two times their difference as quotient and 30 as the remainder. The number is
  • a)
    220030                     
  • b)
    22030
  • c)
    1220                        
  • d)
    1250
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Let the number be N
the quotient, in this case, would be = 2(555-445)= 2 x 110 = 220 
The Divisor would be = 555+445 = 1000
Remainder = 30 
 therefore number N would be = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
which would be = 1000 x 220 + 30 = 220030

    56
  • c)
    60
  • d)
    72  
  • e)

Rohan Chauhan answered
Number of days taken by 36 min =25
Number of days taken by 15 min = x
=> 15xX=36X2515xX=36X25
x=36X2515x=36X2515
x=60x=60
Hence 15 men can do it in 60 hours .

Aarav Sharma answered
Problem Statement:

A number consists of two digits whose sum is 8. If 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits interchange their places. What is the number?

Approach:

Let's assume that the number is 10x + y, where x and y are the digits of the number.

According to the problem statement, x + y = 8 and (10x + y) - 18 = 10y + x.

Simplifying the second equation, we get 9x - 9y = 18, which further simplifies to x - y = 2.

Now we have two equations:

x + y = 8
x - y = 2

Solving these equations, we get x = 5 and y = 3.

Therefore, the number is 53.

Answer: Option D) 53.

The product of two numbers is 24 times the difference of these numbers. If the sum of these numbers is 14, find the larger number.
  • a)
    8                             
  • b)
    56
  • c)
    18                            
  • d)
    6
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Shanaya Sharma answered
Xy = 24(x - y) and. x+y = 14
xy = 24x - 24y => x(y - 24) = -24y
=> x= 24y / (24 - y)
24y / (24 - y) +y = 14
24y + 24y - y^2 = 14(24 - y)
48y - y^2 = 336 - 14y
y^2 - 48y - 14y + 336 = 0
y^2 - 62y + 336 = 0
y^2 - 56y - 6y + 336 = 0
y(y - 56) - 6(y - 56) = 0
y=6 or 56
then x=8 or -42
but x>y so x=8.
correct ans - a)8.

    112
  • c)
    242                          
  • d)

  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Chauhan answered
Let the number be ‘x’.

According to the conditions given one by four of ‘x’ is greater than one by seven of ‘x’ by 24.

Which means if we add 24 to one by seven of ‘x’ we get one by four of ‘x’.

x/4 = x/7 + 24

x/4 - x/7 = 24

(7x - 4x)/7(4) = 24

3x/28 = 24

x = 28(24)/3

x = 8(28)

x = 224

If a number is multiplied by three – fourth of itself, value so obtained is 1728. What is the number.

    44
  • c)
    46                            
  • d)
    58
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Sagar Sharma answered
Problem Analysis:
Let's assume the number we are looking for is x. According to the given condition, if we multiply x by three fourth of itself, we get 1728. Mathematically, this can be represented as:

x * (3/4) * x = 1728

Solution:
To solve the equation, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Simplify the equation
To simplify the equation, we can multiply the coefficients and variables:

(3/4) * x^2 = 1728

Step 2: Remove the fraction
To remove the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

4 * (3/4) * x^2 = 4 * 1728

3 * x^2 = 6912

Step 3: Solve for x
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3:

(3 * x^2) / 3 = 6912 / 3

x^2 = 2304

Step 4: Take the square root
To find the value of x, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:

√(x^2) = √2304

x = ±48

Step 5: Check the solution
We obtained two solutions for x: +48 and -48. However, the question specifies that the number is positive, so the correct solution is x = 48.

Conclusion:
The number that satisfies the given condition is 48. Therefore, the correct answer is option E) None of these.

The sum of 18 % of a number and 6% of the same number is 492. What is 12% of that number?
  • a)
    234                          
  • b)
    242
  • c)
    256                          
  • d)
    264
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
To solve this problem, let's assume the number as 'x'.

Given:
18% of the number + 6% of the number = 492

Let's calculate the equation step by step.

Step 1: Convert percentages to decimals
We know that 18% is equivalent to 0.18 (18/100) and 6% is equivalent to 0.06 (6/100).

Step 2: Write the equation
0.18x + 0.06x = 492

Step 3: Combine like terms
0.24x = 492

Step 4: Solve for x
Divide both sides of the equation by 0.24 to isolate x:
x = 492 / 0.24
x ≈ 2050

Therefore, the number is approximately 2050.

Now, we need to find 12% of this number.

Step 5: Calculate 12% of the number
To find 12% of 2050, we multiply the number by 0.12 (12/100):
0.12 * 2050 ≈ 246

Hence, 12% of the number is approximately 246.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'E' (None of these), as none of the given options match the calculated value of 246.

The difference between two numbers is 18. If 4 times the second number is less than three times the first number by 18, what is the sum of these two numbers.

    100                          
  • b)
    80
  • c)
    86                            
  • d)
    92
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Given:

- The difference between two numbers is 18.
- 4 times the second number is less than three times the first number by 18.

To find: The sum of these two numbers.

Let's assume the first number as x and the second number as y.

According to the first condition,

x - y = 18 ---- (1)

According to the second condition,

3x - 4y = 18

3x = 4y + 18

x = (4y + 18)/3

Substituting the value of x in equation (1),

(4y + 18)/3 - y = 18

4y + 18 - 3y = 54

y = 36

Substituting the value of y in equation (1),

x - 36 = 18

x = 54

Therefore, the sum of these two numbers is x + y = 54 + 36 = 90.

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) None of these.
