8400

Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:

1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.

Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.

2. Weigh G versus H.

Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.

Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.

2. Weigh A versus B.

Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.

Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

answer is maximum of 2.

Question is not completed
The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G, not necessarily in that order, stand for seven consecutive integers from 1 to 10
D is 3 less than A
B is the middle term
F is as much less than B as C is greater than D
G is greater than F

1. The fifth integer is
(a) A
(b) C
(c) D
(d) E
(e) F
ans:a
2.A is as much greater than F as which integer is
less than G
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
ans:a

3. If A = 7, the sum of E and G is
(a) 8
(b) 10
(c) 12
(d) 14
(e) 16

4. An integer T is as much greater than C as C is
greater than E. T
can be written as A + E. What is D?
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 5
(e) Cannot be determined
ans:a

pass English =80%
fail=100-80=20%
pass Math = 70%
fail in Math=100-70=30%
fail in both=10%
total fail students= fail in Eng+fail in Math-common
= 20+30-10=40%
if 40% fail then 60% will pass
let total students=x
hence
60% 0f (total students)=144
60/100 of (x)= 144
x=(144×100)/60
X=240
total students=240

Let x and y be the two numbers. And x > y.
Then,
x + y = 80—–(1)
y=80-y
Also,
x = 4y – 5
Solving the two equations,
80 – y = 4y – 5
85 = 5y
Therefore, y = 17
put the value of y in equation(1)
then
x+y=80
x+17=80
x=63
the numbers are 17&63

a) 90
b) 36
c) 56
d) 6
e) 140
f) 20
g) 30
H) 40 because u need to take in account the people that
done like any of the music maybe they like techno?

Answer:270
Explanation: Formula is SI= P*R*T/100
Where P is principal amount
R is Rate
T is Time
So, SI= 500*6*9/100
i.e SI= 27000/100
SI= 270
