Ques:- A positive number when decreased by 2 is equal to 15 times the reciprocal of the number. What is the number ?
Recent Answer : Added by Abhi Chatterjee On 2022-01-08 16:05:35:

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.

Ques:- Currently, the age of a father is three times that of his son. 2.5 years from now, age of the father becomes 2.5 times that of the son. The age of son currently is?
Recent Answer : Added by Bhagirathi H On 2022-09-15 16:37:05:

Fathers before age=3*before sons age—-(1)
After 2.5 years..
Fathers before age+2.5 years =2.5*sons age—-(2)
Substitute (1) in (2),
3*sons before age+2.5 years=2.5*sons age
0.5*sons age=2.5 years
Sons before age=5years
So current age after 2.5 years,
Sons before age+2.5 =5+2.5=7.5 years

Ques:- Where do you work now?
Ques:- There are two candles of equal lengths and of different thickness. The thicker one lasts of six hours. The thinner 2 hours less than the thicker one. Ramesh lights the two candles at the same time. When he went to bed he saw the thicker one is twice the length of the thinner one. How long ago did Ramesh light the two candles?
Recent Answer : Added by Naru Mani Chandan On 2022-03-18 09:18:12:

3 hours ago.

Thin candle melts 3/4 in 3 hours leaving 1/4
Where as in the same time thick candle melts 3/6 leaving 3/6 which is 1/2. Now thick candle is exactly twice than the thin candle.

Or via modeling:

We need to find time at which the length of the thin candle is half the thick candle. Let x be the time. Thin candle melts at 1/4 an hour and thick candle melts at 1/6 an hour. In x hours they melt at x/4 and x/6 respectively. What’s left will be 1 – x/4 and 1 – x/6. We need to find x at which :

2 * (1 – (x/4)) = 1 – (x/6)

This equation results in x = 3
