Ques:- A company contracts to paint 3 houses. Mr.Brown can paint a house in 6 days while Mr.Black would take 8 days and Mr.Blue 12 days. After 8 days Mr.Brown goes on vacation and Mr. Black begins to work for a period of 6 days. How many days will it take Mr.Blu to paint?
Recent Answer : Added by Emily Tilden On 2022-08-14 16:43:11:

Mr. Brown painted the first whole house in 6 days plus 1/3 of the second house in the next 2 days. Mr. Black can paint a whole house in 8 days and had 8 days to work, so he painted the equivalent of 1 whole house. That accounts for 2-1/3 houses painted. Mr. Blue only needs to paint 2/3 of the last house, so 2/3 times 12 days equals 8 days.

D. 5 : 3

The answer is A)

y1 = 62 Rs/kg
y2 = 72 Rs/kg
y = 64.5 Rs/kg

y2 – y1 = 10 Rs/kg

The distance between the y and y1 is

y – y1 = 64.5 – 62 = 2.5

x1 = (y – y1)/(y2 – y1) = 2.5/10 = 0.25
x2 = 1 – x1 = 1 – 0.25 = 0.75

The target price is calculated by the lever method.

x1 * y2 + x2 * y1 = 0.25 * 72 + 0.75 * 62.5 = 64.5

The ratio is of y1 to y2 is

0.75 : 0.25

Divide by both by 0.25

3 : 1

Ques:- There is a 50m long army platoon marching ahead. The last person in the platoon wants to give a letter to the first person leading the platoon. So while the platoon is marching he runs ahead, reaches the first person and hands over the letter to him and without stopping he runs and comes back to his original position. In the mean time the whole platoon has moved ahead by 50m. The question is how much distance did the last person cover in that time. Assuming that he ran the whole distance with uniform speed.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:00:37:

The last person covered 120.71 meters.
It is given that the platoon and the last person moved with
uniform speed. Also, they both moved for the identical
amount of time. Hence, the ratio of the distance they
covered – while person moving forward and backword – are
equal.
Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first
person, the platoon moved X meters forward.
Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)
meters whereas the platoon moved X meters.
Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-
X)] X meters whereas the platoon moved (50-X) meters.
Now, as the ratios are equal,
(50+X)/X = X/(50-X)
(50+X)*(50-X) = X*X
Solving, X=35.355 meters
Thus, total distance covered by the last person
= (50+X) + X
= 2*X + 50
= 2*(35.355) + 50
= 120.71 meters
Note that at first glance, one might think that the total
distance covered by the last person is 100 meters, as he
ran the total lenght of the platoon (50 meters) twice.
TRUE, but that’s the relative distance covered by the last
person i.e. assuming that the platoon is stationary.

Ques:- A batsman average was 15.at last innings he took 23 runs then his average became 16.how much run he should take to make his average 18?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:21:

((15 X m) + 23)/(m+1)= 16
solving , we get number of matches (m) as 7 (excluding last
match)
so he shud hit 39 runs in last innings to ake average to 18

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
