Recent Answer : Added by G Dinesh On 2023-06-10 18:20:22:

Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:

1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.

Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.

2. Weigh G versus H.

Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.

Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.

2. Weigh A versus B.

Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.

Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

answer is maximum of 2.

Suppose that total 100 employees are in company….. out of that 35 are man and remaining 65 are women.
20% of man 35 = 20*35/100
40% of women = 40*65/100
total employees = 7+26 = 33 out of 100
so, Ans = 33 %

B. 30 years
C. 40 years

Recent Answer : Added by kkrajj On 2022-03-09 16:26:57:

Let x be fathers present age and y be son present age.
5 yrs ago, the age of father and son be x-5 & y-5.
Then,
x-5+y-5=40
x+y-10=40
x+y=50
y=50-x ———–> (1)
ratio between father and son in present age
x:y=4:1
x/y=4/1
x=4y
Apply eq (1) ,
x=4(50-x)
x=200-4x
x+4x=200
5x=200
x=200/5
x=40,,
=> The present age of father is 40.
