Question
Tap A is 100% more efficient than tap B. Both the taps
together can fill the tank in 6 hours. Find the time taken by tap C, which is 50% more efficient than tap B, to fill the tank alone.Solution
Let, time taken by tap B to fill the tank be x hours,
So, time taken by tap A to fill the tank = x/2 hours According to question, 1/x + 1/(x/2) = 1/6
1/x + 2/x = 1/6
x = 18 So, time taken by tap C to fill the tank = 18/1.5 = 12 hours
Let N be the greatest number that will divide 85, 116, 147 leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is:
The LCM of two numbers is 168, and the numbers are in the ratio 4:7. Find the sum of the numbers.
What is the Highest Common Factor of 64, 128 and 256?
HCF of two numbers 50 and 80 can be expressed in the form of (30m – 110) whereas LCM of these two numbers can be expressed in the form of (60n – 20)...
