Let the number be x.

So x-2 =15/x, or

x^2–2x-15=0, or

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Hence x = 5 or -3.

Check: When x=5, 5–2=3 which is 15/5=3.

When x=-3, -3–2=-5 which is 15/-3=-5.

The number is 5 or -3.

Let n be the number of days it takes A and B, working together, to finish. And we know B=A+10 and B=3A, so:

3A=A+10

2A=10

A=5

Then B=15

So:

1/A + 1/B=1/n where n is the total amount of days. So:

1/5 + 1/15=1/n

3n+n=15

n=15/4 days

time = distance / speed
speed = 36*(5/18) m/s=10m/s
distance = 100m
time=100/10s = 10sec

127.179(app)
given distance of the train along the wind is 695
and againt the wind is 498
and time = distance/speed
as we know that time is equal in both the cases hence equate
695/s1=498/s2———–(1);
where s1=speed of the plane + speed of the wind
and s2=speed of the plane -speed of the wind
given that speed of the wind is 21k/h
s1=sp+21
s2=sp-21
substitu in eq 1
we get the answer as 27.17(app)

U is the answer as
T is sitting opposite to R and W is sitting opposite to U
