1!=1
2!=2×1=2
3!=3x2x1=6
4!=4x3x2x1=24
5!=5x4x3x2x1=120
6!=6x5x4x3x2x1=720
The answer is 120.
Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.

Time taken to fill repaired cistern = 12 mins
In 1 min, pipe will fill = 1/12
Time taken to fill cistern with leak = 12 + 18 = 30 mins
In 1 min, it will fill = 1/30
Consider the leak as an outlet pipe, so
1/30 = 1/12 – [ in 1 min how much the outlet pipe leaks ]
= 1/12 – 1/30
= 5/60 – 2/60 = 3/60 = 1/20
Therefore, it will take 20 mins for the leak to empty the cistern
2hr 24min
4x:5x:6x
100:50:25
100×4x +50×5x+25×6x
then 400x + 250x + 150x = 16000
800x=16000
x = 20
25 paisa=6x = 20×6=120
so the ans is 120 coins
If division of 3 is allowed then I might do 5 divisions in one go & do in less iterations. I would assume max 2 division as you have to hands, and compare the weight.
