Question
162 unit of work can be completed by P alone in 27 days.
P started working alone and joined by Q after 12 days such that they completed the remaining work in 5 days. Find the number of days taken by Q to complete the whole work alone.Solution
Let the efficiency of Q = x units/day Efficiency of P = (162/27) = 6 units/day According to question: 6 × 12 + (6 + x) × 5 = 162 Or, 72 + 30 + 5x = 162 Or, 5x = 162 – 102 Or, 5x = 60 Or, x = 12 Number of days taken by Q to complete the work alone = (162/12) = 13.5 days
Find the value of the given expression-
(4x+4 -5× 4x+2) / 15×4x – 22×4x
If x2 – 10x + 20 = 0, then find the value of (x – 3)2 + 1/(x – 3)2
If x + y = 4 and (1/x) + (1/y) = 24/7, then the value of (x3 + y3).
If x, y and z are real numbers such that (x-5)2+(y-8)2+(z-12)2= 0 then (x+y+z) is equal to
If x + y = 12 and x² + y² = 74, find xy.
If p = 27 - q - r and pq + r(q + p) = 168, then find the value of (p² + q² + r²).
If (x + y) = 6 and (x2 + y2) = 20, then the value of (x – y)2 is equal to:
