Question
12Men and 12women can complete a piece of work in 9
days. 6 men and 15 women can complete the same work in 12 days. How long (in days) would it take 9 women to complete half the work?Solution
12M + 12W ® 9 days  1M + 1W ® 108 days  also,  6M + 15W ® 12  2M + 5W ® 36 days  Þ 108 (1M + 1W) = 36(2M + 5W) 3M + 3W = 2M + 5W M = 2W  M: W=2:1 Total work = 36 (4 + 5) = 36 × 9 = 324 9 Women complete the half work =162/ 9 = 18 days
Given a triangle with two sides measuring 12 cm and 16 cm, which of the following cannot be a possible length for the third side?
- Find the remainder on dividing (5x 3  + 4x 2  – 10x + 1) by (2x – 4).
The area (in sq, units) of the triangle formed by the graphs of 8x + 3y = 24, 2x+8 = y and the x – axis is:
If x −y =4and xy =45,thenthevalueof x 3 −y3is:
If x + y = 2 and 1/x + 1/y = 18/15, then find the value of (x3 + y3)?
22% of ‘x’ is equal to 66% of ‘y’, then find the value of x: y.
If y + 1/y = 2 then find y117 + 1/(y117)
if a2 + b2 + c2Â =Â 2(4a -5b -9c)-122 , then a-b-c = ?
If a – b – c = 0, then the value of (a2 + b2 + c2)/(b + ac) is:
If 5x - 13xy + 6y = 0, find x : y.
