Question
A team of 40 men is assigned to finish a project within
24 days. They began the task simultaneously. To complete the project 6 days ahead of the planned schedule, how many additional men need to be recruited after the initial 6 days of work?Solution
Total amount of work = 40 × 24 = 960 units Amount of work done by 40 men in 6 days = 40 × 6 = 240 units Let ‘x’ more men are required So, (40 + x) × 12 = 720 Or, x + 40 = 60 Or, x = 20
Simplify:
6x + 8y - [(12x + 6y) - (4x + 3y) + 2y] - 4xIf 9x2 + 16y2 = 24xy, then find the ratio of ‘x’ and ‘y’, respectively.
- Suppose [a + (1/16a)] = 3, then the value of [16a³ + (1/256a³)] is:
If, 6x + y = 20, and 2xy = 32, and 6x > y, then find the value of 216x³ – y³.
If x + 1/x = 2, find x⁷ + 1/x⁷.
(x – 6) 2 + (y + 2) 2 + (z – 4) 2 = 0, then find the value of 4x - 3y + z.
