Ques:- Five farmers have 7, 9, 11, 13 & 14 apple trees, respectively in their orchards. Last year, each of them discovered that every tree in their own orchard bore exactly the same number of apples. Further, if the third farmer gives one apple to the first, and the fifth gives three to each of the second and the fourth, they would all have exactly the same number of apples. What were the yields per tree in the orchards of the third and fourth farmers?

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.

Ques:- P, Q, R, S, T and U are six cities which are in a row in the same order. A bus, b1 travels from P to U and another bus b2 travel from U to P. The bus b1 reaches S at 10:40 and bus b2 reaches Q at 10:35 if the travel time between any two adjacent cities is 40 minutes and the stoppage time at each city is 15 minutes. Which city do the two buses meet?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-17 06:28:10:
Answer: 8:10, 7:10
Explanation:
The bus b1, which started at P, reached S at 10:40, passing through the intermediary cities Q and R.
The time taken to travel from P to S
= 3 * 40 + 2 * 15 = 150minute
(journey)+(stoppage) = 2 hrs 30 minutes.
Hence, b1 started at 10:40 – 2:30 = 8:10 at P.
b2 reached Q, starting at U, through the city T, S and R.
The time taken by it to reach S = 4 * 40 + 3 * 15 = 205 minutes = 3 hr 25 minutes.
Hence, b2 started at, 10:35 – 3:25 = 7:10, at U.

Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:05:45:
Answer: 10
Reason:
The best case happens ONLY when each rat dies just as they
taste the FIRST bottle given to them (you can imagine it a
miracle 😀 )
In this case, the very first 10 attempts reveal the
poisonous bottles. So the answer is 10.

Therefore, the 3rd farmer had a yield of 11 per tree and the 4th farmer had a yield of 9 per tree.
