Let ‘x’ be the number of perons in the group and let ‘y’ be
amount per head which they have to pay.
Then xy = 2400.
or y = 2400/x
Since two friends have forget the purse, x-2 persons should
share the total amount(2400).
If they share, they have to make an extra contribution of
Rs 100 to pay up the bill
That is x-2 persons should pay y+100 each
or (x-2)(y+100) = 2400
or y+100 = 2400/(x-2)
or y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Therefore we have got two equations namely,
y= 2400/x and y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Comparing these two, we get
2400/x = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Solving this we get
x^2 – 2x -48 = 0
or (x-8) (x+6) = 0
or x = 8 or x = -6
Since ‘x’ denote the number of persons, it should be
positive.
So, x = 8.
I think it’s none of these because Sunita is the grandmother of Renu so that makes the girl her mother in law ?

Either 4 or (-)4
Error is at 46. Correct one is 29+1=30
When none of the digits are repeated:
The hundred’s place can be filled by any of the digits: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 except the one which has already been used at the thousand’s place, so it can be filled in 5 ways.
Similarly tens’ place can be filled in 4 ways: only those 4 numbers which have not been use either at hundred’s or thousand’s place.
Unit’s place can be filled in only 3 ways. So, total number of nos. Possible =4×5×4×3= 240

Assum that the lables are : mixture, apples and orange
we have to take out one fruit from the mixture basket an see:
if it’s an apple –
it means that this basket is filled with apples
and so, the third basket is mixture
and the second one is filled with oranges.
if it’s an orange –
it means that this basket is filled with oranges
and so, the second basket is mixture
and the third one is filled with apples.

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.

If c is 5 times faster than a then he can do it in 2 days alone.
