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?

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

Ques:- In a group of 15,7 have studied Latin, 8 have studied Greek, and 3 have not studied either.How many of these studied both Latin and Greek
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 16:16:30:

Given:

In a group of 15 students,

7 have studied Latin,

8 have studied Greek,

3 have not studied either.

To find:

The number of students who studied both Latin and Greek.

Solution:

In a group of 15 students, have studied Latin, 8 have studied Greek, 3 have not studied either.

Therefore,

n(A∪B) = 15 – 3

n(A∪B) = 12

7 have studied Latin,

n(A) = 7

8 have studied Greek,

n(B) = 8

n(A∩B) is the number of students who studied both Latin and Greek.

n(A∩B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A∪B)

n(A∩B) = 7 + 8 – 12

n(A∩B) = 15 – 12

n(A∩B) = 3

The number of students who studied both Latin and Greek is 3

Final answer:

3 of them studied both Latin and Greek.

Thus, the correct answer .3

Ques:- A certain type of mixture is prepared by mixing brand A at Rs.9 a kg. with brand B at Rs.4 a kg. If the mixture is worth Rs.7 a kg., how many kgs. of brand A are needed to make 40kgs. of the mixture?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 17:39:56:

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

A + B = 40.

And at Rs 7 a kg for 40 kg, you want a total of Rs.280.

So the second equation is 9A + 4B = 280

From the first equation: B = 40 – A

and sub into the second equation:

9A + 4(40-A) = 280

9A + 160 – 4A = 280

5A = 120

A = 24.

And you should check: B should equal 40-24 = 16. Check with the final equation: 9*24 + 4*16 = 216 + 64 = 280. So it works.

Your answer, of course, is A = 24

Ques:- When a blue stone is thrown into a red sea, what would happen?
Recent Answer : Added by Deven Sharma On 2023-05-31 18:33:40:

If a blue stone is thrown into a red sea, several things could happen depending on the context and the properties of the stone and the sea:

Symbolically: Since blue and red are contrasting colors, the interaction of a blue stone in a red sea could be seen as a visual or metaphorical contrast. It could represent a stark difference or an unexpected element introduced into an existing situation.

Scientifically: In reality, the color of the stone and the sea would not have a direct physical impact on each other. The stone would sink or float based on its density and the water’s buoyancy. The color of the water, whether red or any other color, does not change the fundamental principles of objects interacting with liquids.

It’s important to note that red seas, in the context of bodies of water, typically do not exist naturally. The phrase “red sea” is often used metaphorically or symbolically rather than referring to an actual body of water with a red color.

Ques:- The length of the rectangular field is double its width. Inside the field there is square shaped pond 8m long. If the area of the pond is 1/8 of the area of the field. What is the length of the field?
Recent Answer : Added by ramathota madhu On 2022-03-09 16:36:28:

w, l=2w , area of square =8^2 = 64
area of rectangle = l*b
so w*2w = 8*64
w=16
length = 32

Ques:- Two pipes X and Y can separately fill a cistern in 18 and 24 hours respectively. If they are turned on alternately for one hour each, how long will it take to fill the cistern?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 17:08:06:

X filling rate is 1/18 or 4/72 per hour

Y filling rate is 1/24 or 3/72 per hour

Combined as a pair it’s 7/72 in a complete 2 hour alternating sequence

72+ 7/72 =10 sequences = 70/72 on 20 hours, The outstanding balance is just 2/72

So at 20.5 hours with X turn filling is 100% complete with 72/72

Answer: It will take 20.5 hours to completely fill this tank.

Analysis of measured filling process, from X = 42/72 share & from Y = 30/72 share
