So we consider the 2nd statement first. We can form an equation out of it.
14x-6=13y+3=9z+3
Using this, we can understand that the multiple of 14 and the multiple of 13 and 9 must have a difference of 9. The easiest way to ensure that is multiplying it by 9
14*9=126
13*9=117
If the 5th farmer gives 3 apples to the 4th farmer, they would have 123 and 120 apples respectively. However, we also know that the 2nd farmer has 117 apples (13*9=117, and this is a multiple of 9) if the 5th farmer gives 3 apples too the 2nd farmer, the 3rd, 4th and 5th farmers would have 120 apples each.
Now that we got 120, we should check if the first part of the question makes sense along with it. The equation would be
7a+1=11b-1=120
We know that 11*11=121 and 7*17=119. When we add 1 to 119 and subtract 1 from 121, we get 120 for each. In this way, all the farmers have 120 apples each.
Therefore, the 3rd farmer had a yield of 11 per tree and the 4th farmer had a yield of 9 per tree.

Clarke is 80 years old
Correct option is C)
Let be students are consider as child
Let the age of child added later be x years.
average age of 12 children =20 years
∴ Total age of 12 children =20×12=240 years
After one more child is added-
Average of 13 children =20−1=19 years
Average age of 13 children =
13
sum of 12 children+x
19=
13
240+x
⇒240+x=247
⇒x=247−240=7 years
Hence the age of child added later is 7 years.

2/3 * 15 miles = 10 miles then
time for 10 miles travel is t1 = 10/40 = 1/4
then remaning distance is 5 miles
time for 5 miles travel is t2 = 5/60 = 1/12
t1+ t2= 1/3 in seconds * 60 = 20 min
The hour hand advances between individual numbers as the minute hand makes a full path around the hour. The hour hand was pointing directly at 3 at 3:00, but at 3:15 it has advanced 1/4 of the way between 3 and 4. The number of degrees between numbers 30 (because 360/12). That gives you 30/4 = 7.5. The number of degrees between the two hands is 7.5 degrees.
Total game played= 60
%won =30%
Total won= 60*30/100 i.e. 18
now team plays x games and win all of those to increase the
average to 50%.
So,
(60+x)*50/100=18+x
(60+x)/2=18+x
60+x=36+2x
24=x
So the final answer is 24.

Is it not 24?
It’s choice A because you take the last to letters and move them to the front then the previous two letters go after them and so on.
No, the tank will be filled after 36 minutes
