Pfull = 4 Hrs; Qfull = 5 Hrs
Assume velocity Vp = x then Vq = 4/5 x –> avg velocity = (5/5 + 4/5) / 2 = 0.9
If fastest time = 4hrs then the time it would take to fill up tank by alternating is 4/0.9 = 4.44 Hrs

Let numbers be 2x, 3x
Given: (2x)^3 + (3x)^3 = 945
8x^3 + 27x^3 = 945
x = 3
Difference between numbers = 3x – 2x = x
Hence difference = 3

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.

Let the total rotations be x:
So the distance covered by both the wheels will be same,
9 * x = 7 * (x + 10)
x = 35 rotations
distance travelled = 9 * 35 = 7 * (35 + 10) = 315 feet

LET ACTUAL PRICE BE 100 RS(FOR CONVINIENCE)
THEREFORE IF PRICE IS CUT BY 20%
THEREFORE NEW PRICE=100-20=80 RS
THEREFORE WE NEED TO ADD X% TO 80 RS TO MAKE IT 20 RS AND ADD IT TO 80 TO MAKE IT 100RS
THEREFORE, 80X/100 = 20
I.E. 4X/5=20
THEREFORE x=20*5/4
=5*5
=25
HENCE 25% OF PRICE SHOULD BE ADDED TO MAKE THE PRICE EQUAL TO THE ACTUAL PRICE.
