answer can be 1,2,3,4 can’t be determined exact number
just explaining a case:
there are 10 people in the party.
name of people no. of people with they made handshake list of those people(this can vary but showing the possibility)
1 1 9
2 2 8, 9
3 3 7, 8, 9
4 4 6, 7, 8, 9
5 5 6, 7, 8, 9. 10
6 6 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
7 7 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10
8 8 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10
9 9 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
10 4 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
jack got 9 different answer so jack can be either 4th number or 10th number and jack’s wife know jack very well so she can’t have handshake with jack so if 4th is jack then she can’t be handshake with 6,7,8,9, in this case she can be 1,2,3, 5, 10 and now depending upon which no is jack’s wife she can have hand shake with- 1- 4 people, and if jack is number 10 then she can’t be 5,6,7,8,9 so again depending upon her number she can handshake with people in range of 1-4

Let three consecutive even numbers be 2n,2n+2,2n+4
product=2n(2n+2)(2n+4)
If n=1,
product =2(4)(6)=48.
So, all the numbers will be divisible by 48 if change n.

Ques:- A clerk multiplied a number by ten when it should have been divided by ten.The ans he got was 100.what should the ans have been?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:36:

Let the number be X,
Instead of dividing the number by 10, i.e.,X*10.
he got the result as 100,
so, (X*10)=100
X=100/10
X=10.
BUt he has to divide X by 10,
so, X/10=10/10=1.
obviously the answer is 1.

Ques:- A and B combinely can do a work in 4 days. If A alone can do a piece of work 6 days. In how many days B alone can do?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:03:23:

say the work is w and let no of days taken by b is ‘x’ which
we have to calculate
so work done by a in one day is w/6
work done by b in one day is w/x
a and b together can do work in 4 days ie=(w/6)+(w/x)=(w/4)
solving equation x=12
so no of days taken by b=12
