    Work done in next 3 days = 2/3 × 3 × 1/24 = 1/12
    Remaining work = 1 – (1/6 + 1/12) = ¾

     

  15. Perimeter of a rectangle is x and circumference of a circle is 8 more than the perimeter of the rectangle. Ratio of radius of circle and length of the rectangle is 1:2 and ratio of length and breadth of rectangle is 7:3. Find the length of the rectangle?
    29 cm
    28 cm
    30 cm
    25 cm
    21 cm
    Option B
    Let length and breadth are 7x, 3x
    Perimeter = 20x
    Circumference of circle = 20x + 8
    Radius of circle = 1/2 × 7x = 3.5x
    =>2x + 8 = 44/7 × 7x/2
    =>x = 4
    Length = 28 cm

    69
    71
    85
    60
    Option B
    Increase in average marks = [(72+61) – (48+65)]/20 = 133 – 113/ 20 = 20/20
    Correct average = 68 +1 = 69

     

  17. A is 2 years older than B while B is 3 year younger than C. The ratio of age of A 6 years hence and B 2 years ago is 5:3. What was age of C 6 years ago?

    14 years
    16 years
    10 years
    12 years
    Option B
    A ==B ==C
    𝑥 + 2== 𝑥== 𝑥 + 3
    ( 𝑥 + 2 +6)/( 𝑥 − 2 ) = 5/3
    ( 𝑥 + 8)/(𝑥 – 2) = 5/2
    =>3𝑥 + 24 = 5𝑥 −10
    => 34 = 2𝑥
    => 𝑥 = 17
    Age of C, 6 year ago = 17 + 3 −6 = 14 years

    11(5/6)%
    16(2/3)%
    13(3/5)%
    10(1/4)%
    Option C
    Let sum of length of both trains = L And speed = 𝑥 & 𝑦
    𝐿/( 𝑥 –𝑦) = 182
    𝐿/( 𝑥 + 𝑦) = 14
    14( 𝑥 + 𝑦) = 182( 𝑥 –𝑦)
    ( 𝑥 – 𝑦)/(𝑥 + 𝑦) = 1/13
    12𝑥 = 14𝑦
    =>𝑥 = 7/6𝑦
    Required percentage = (7−6)/ 6 × 100 = 16(2/3)%

    Aman== Vimal== Raman
    117==90==100
    307 – >6447
    1 – > 6447/307
    117 -> 6447/307*117 = Rs.2457

  1. Can I just say what a reduction to find somebody who actually is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know easy methods to carry an issue to light and make it important. Extra people must read this and perceive this facet of the story.
