number1*number2=lcm*hcf
so,
product of two numbers is ,

2025=lcm*15
lcm=2025/15
lcm=135

Let the age of the man be x
Then age of his son becomes (x−24)

2 years later from now,

Age of man will be = x+2
and age of his son will be =(x−24+2)=x−22

According to question,

2(x−22)=x+2

i.e., 2x−44=x+2

i.e., x=46

Therefore ,
Present age of man=46 years
And present age of his son =46−24=22 years

5:6::7:10::6:5
=((5/6)/(7/10)/(6/5))
=((5/6)*(6/5)/(7/10))
=(1/(7/10))
=10/7

It will take 14 seconds, not 20 sec

So we consider the 2nd statement first. We can form an equation out of it.
14x-6=13y+3=9z+3
Using this, we can understand that the multiple of 14 and the multiple of 13 and 9 must have a difference of 9. The easiest way to ensure that is multiplying it by 9
14*9=126
13*9=117
If the 5th farmer gives 3 apples to the 4th farmer, they would have 123 and 120 apples respectively. However, we also know that the 2nd farmer has 117 apples (13*9=117, and this is a multiple of 9) if the 5th farmer gives 3 apples too the 2nd farmer, the 3rd, 4th and 5th farmers would have 120 apples each.
Now that we got 120, we should check if the first part of the question makes sense along with it. The equation would be
7a+1=11b-1=120
We know that 11*11=121 and 7*17=119. When we add 1 to 119 and subtract 1 from 121, we get 120 for each. In this way, all the farmers have 120 apples each.
Therefore, the 3rd farmer had a yield of 11 per tree and the 4th farmer had a yield of 9 per tree.

we know,
area=b*h
b gets increased by 20% i.e (b+0.20b)
h gets decreased by 20% i.e (h-0.20h)
rewriting the equation(area=b*h),
area=(b+0.20b)*(h-0.20h)
area=b(1+0.20)*h(1-0.20)
area=b(1.20)*h(0.80)
area=b*h*(1.20)*(0.80)
area=b*h*(0.96)
i.e new area=0.96 times the original area
if 100% was the original area,it has decreased to 96%
so,100%-96%= 4%
