I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks
like their math isn’t good and is extremeley complex to
have an asnwer of 25% to this question. Consider – Rs.1.00/-
per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-
extra at the end of the deal. So he’s left with Rs.44.00/-
after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over
Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%.
Hope this helps…
Thanks.
P+C+M=80
P+C=70
Therefore M=10
Given , P+M=90
If M=10
P=80
Speed of Stream = 1/2 (Downstream Speed – Upstream Speed)
=1/2(40-14)
=1/2(26)
=13km/h
method 2:
for down stream case :speed=Boat speed + Stream speed
for up stream case :speed=Boat speed – Stream speed
therefore, Bs + Ss =40
Bs – Ss =14
(-) (-) (-)
———————
2Ss=26
Ss=26/2 = 13Km/h
Stream speed= 13Km/hr

The phrase is usually ‘like looking for a needle in a haystack’. It describes a task that is virtually impossible because you would have to search a huge area

yea may be they are brothers only by father or by mother
Total marbles are 15

Probability is 5/15
Time =9 seconds
Speed =(60×518) m/sec=(503)m/sec
∴ Speed =DistanceTime
Length of the train (Distance) = (Speed × Time) = (503×9) m=150 m.
The probability that a child will be born male on any given day is always 1/2.
Suppose:
In any time period, the family making out babies and half boys and another half girls then, In the next time period: half the families turn themselves off and again the half remaining families making out the babies which repeat the first period.
Since, there are 10 points on the circle and to draw a chord we need to connect any two points on the circle to make it a straight line, which implies that the number of chords = No of lines connecting any two points out of the 10 points
= 10C2 = 10*9/2 = 45 chords.
