3m = 6w
So 12m + 8w = 24w + 8w = 32w
Since 6 women can complete work in 16 days, 32 women can complete it in :
16 x 6/32 = 3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:
In context to questions asked
We have to determine the value of x,
Given that,
It is written as:
=> 
By using the method of cross-multiplication,
=> 8 
= 12 
6
Multiplying the numbers,
=> 8
= 72
Divide both sides by 8,
=> x = 9
Hence, the required solution is 9.

Trisha Vashisht answered |
45 minutes = 45/60 hour = 3/4 hour
25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 5/12 hour
distance = speed x time
as distance travel is same
40x3/4=ax5/12
solve it and you will get a=72 km/h
25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 5/12 hour
distance = speed x time
as distance travel is same
40x3/4=ax5/12
solve it and you will get a=72 km/h

Let, B alone completes the work in x days.
ATP, 10*[(1/x) + (1/x + 1/50)] = 1 ... => 20/x = 4/5 ... => x = 25
Hence, B alone completes the work in 25 days.

Let's solve the problem using the concept of direct proportion.
Given:
- 12 men can dig an 8-meter-long trench in one day.
- We need to find the number of men required to dig a 50-meter-long trench in one day.
Step 1: Establish the proportion
The number of men required is directly proportional to the length of the trench.
Let x be the number of men required to dig the 50-meter trench.
Men∝Length of trench

It is direct proportion,
So, 1/8 = 7/y
y = 8 * 7
y = 56 parts of base.
So, 1/8 = 7/y
y = 8 * 7
y = 56 parts of base.

Geetika Shah answered |
This is a question of direct proportion as with increase in depth of digging the number of men will increase
So, in direct proportion the constant value is given by X/ Y
12/8 = a/50 (where a is the number of men to be employed)
12 X 50 = 8 X a
600 = 8 X a
600/ 8 = a
75 men = a
So, in direct proportion the constant value is given by X/ Y
12/8 = a/50 (where a is the number of men to be employed)
12 X 50 = 8 X a
600 = 8 X a
600/ 8 = a
75 men = a

Shilpa Choudhury answered |
Number of person = 100, Number of days = 20, = 100 * 20
Number of person = 125 (∵ 25 student join), let Number of days = x = 125 * X
So, 100 * 20 = 125 * X
or 2000 = 125x
or, 125x = 2000
Number of person = 125 (∵ 25 student join), let Number of days = x = 125 * X
So, 100 * 20 = 125 * X
or 2000 = 125x
or, 125x = 2000
∴ X = 2000/125 = 16
Therefore, that the last provisions will 16 dyas.

Sounak Sengupta answered |
The men already in Garrison = 500
Extra men = 300
Total men now ( 500 + 300 ) = 800 men
500 men provision 24 days
1 men provision 24 x 500 days
800 men provision = 24 x 500 / 800
= 15 days

When converting statements from reported speech to direct speech, "was, were" becomes "am, is, are"/ "him, her" becomes "you"/"had" becomes "has, have"/words like "ordered, sternly spoke, shouted" becomes exclamation mark.

Understanding the Problem
To find out how many sugar crystals are in 1.2 kg of sugar, we first need to determine the number of crystals per kilogram.
Calculating Crystals per Kilogram
- We are given that 2 kg of sugar contains 9 × 10^6 crystals.
- To find the number of crystals in 1 kg, we divide the total number of crystals by the mass in kilograms:
- Crystals in 1 kg = (9 × 10^6 crystals) / 2 kg = 4.5 × 10^6 crystals/kg
Finding Crystals in 1.2 kg
- Now, we can calculate the number of crystals in 1.2 kg of sugar:
- Crystals in 1.2 kg = (4.5 × 10^6 crystals/kg) × 1.2 kg
- Crystals in 1.2 kg = 5.4 × 10^6 crystals
Conclusion
Thus, in 1.2 kg of sugar, there are 5.4 × 10^6 sugar crystals.
Final Answer
The correct answer is option 'B': 5.4 × 10^6 crystals.

Cost of 18 pens = Rs 234
So Cost of 1 pen = 234/18=13
So a dozen pens (12 pens) will cost =
12 X13 = Rs 156
So Cost of 1 pen = 234/18=13
So a dozen pens (12 pens) will cost =
12 X13 = Rs 156
