Balls- B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9.
Group1 – (B1, B2, B3), Group2 – (B4, B5, B6), Group3 – (B7, B8, B9)
Now weigh any two groups. Group1 on left side of the scale and Group2 on the right side.
When weighing scale tilts left – Group1 has a heavy ball or right – Group2 has a heavy ball or balanced – Group3 has a heavy ball.
Lets assume Group 1 has a heavy ball.
Now weigh any two balls from Group1. B1 on left side of the scale and B2 on right side.
When weighing scale tilts left – B1 is the heavy or tilts right – B2 is the heavy or balanced – B3 is the heavy.

Days taken by A to complete whole work= 140 days
Days taken by B to complete whole work= 105 days

A’s 1 day work= 1/140
B’s 1 day work= 1/105
On adding these together we get: 1/60 (1 day work by working together)

So, together they will be able to complete it in 60 days

LET ACTUAL PRICE BE 100 RS(FOR CONVINIENCE)
THEREFORE IF PRICE IS CUT BY 20%
THEREFORE NEW PRICE=100-20=80 RS
THEREFORE WE NEED TO ADD X% TO 80 RS TO MAKE IT 20 RS AND ADD IT TO 80 TO MAKE IT 100RS
THEREFORE, 80X/100 = 20
I.E. 4X/5=20
THEREFORE x=20*5/4
=5*5
=25
HENCE 25% OF PRICE SHOULD BE ADDED TO MAKE THE PRICE EQUAL TO THE ACTUAL PRICE.

Can someone confirm that it is : 5/9 * 4/8 * 3/7 = 11.9% that you choose 3 good bulbs in a row

answer : 36 –Explaination:
X= Chickens
Y = Qty per day

X*Y*9= 12 *.9 *Y*30

x=36

data inadequate

saying 20%alcohol in 15 litre solution.

It means (20/100)*15=3 litres

Now 5 litre of water is added not alcohol.

So it means only the volume of solution is increases by 5 not alcohol.

It means 15+5=20

Now % of alcohol is

(3/20)*100=15%.

let no of total crockery =x
2x/3 crockery broken
x/2 handle broken
x/4 both brocken
2x/3+x/2-x/4 = no of total broken(crockery or handle)
=11x/12
unbroken =x-11x/12=x/12
x/12=2(given in question)
x=24

a = 2
d = 5 – 2 = 3
Then 12th term is :
This in arithmetic progression
L = a + (12 – 1) d
L = 2 + 11 * 3
L = 2 + 33 = 35

Had is correct ! Anil went in right direction but ended up
with wrong answers
Soln: B lied ( see anil’s comment ) which implies B has not
stolen mule. So B could steal camel or sheep.
1) Lets assume B stole camel.
In that case, A lies ( refer – A says “B had stolen sheep”
), which implies A had stolen sheep ( becoz a lier cant
steal mule ). So A->sheep B->camel C->mule. But this cant
happen because C cant lie ( refer – C says ” B had stolen
mule” ).
2) Lets assume B stole sheep.
In that case, A is true ( refer – A says “B had stolen
sheep” ), which implies A had stolen mule. So A->Mule
B->Sheep C->camel. Here C lies ( refer – C says ” B had
stolen mule” )
SO ANS: answer A- mule, B-sheep, C camel
