Ques:- If the side of a square is increased by 25% what will be the percentage increase in the area?
Recent Answer : Added by Muhammad Azeem Sheikh On 2022-09-02 17:03:42:

56.25 % is the right answer.
area of square = side ^ 2
at first, it was 100% , means 1
then, a side was enlarged to 25%, means now, 125% means new side is 1.25
taking square will give 1.5625
1.5625 – 1 = 0.5625
so, 56.25% increment in area.

Ques:- Mr. T has a wrong weighing pan. One arm is lengthier than other. 1 kilogram on left balances 8 melons on right. 1 kilogram on right balances 2 melons on left. If all melons are equal in weight,what is the weight of a single melon?
Recent Answer : Added by samarth khare On 2021-06-23 17:56:06:

Suppose the lengthier arm of weighing pan is of x cm and other arm is y cm .Also let weight if each melon be m kg.
so applying equilibrium of torque principles ,we get
case 1:-
1x-8my=0
case 2:-
2mx-1y=0
using case 1 equation , we substitute value of x into case 2 equation;
16mmy-1y=0
(16mm-1)y=0
y is length of weighing arm and cannot be 0,
therefore ,
16mm-1 =0
16mm=1
mm=1/16
m= square root (1/16)
m=+-1/4
m is weight of melon and cant be negative.
Hence m, weight of one melon is 1/4 kg

Let the no. of men (originally) be x.
x no. of men require 10 days.

if however there were 10 men less it will take 10 days more for the work to be finished. ——> means x-10 men require 10+10=20 days.

10x = 20 (x-10)
x = 2x -20 => x = 20.
