Thin candle melts 3/4 in 3 hours leaving 1/4
Where as in the same time thick candle melts 3/6 leaving 3/6 which is 1/2. Now thick candle is exactly twice than the thin candle.

Or via modeling:

We need to find time at which the length of the thin candle is half the thick candle. Let x be the time. Thin candle melts at 1/4 an hour and thick candle melts at 1/6 an hour. In x hours they melt at x/4 and x/6 respectively. What’s left will be 1 – x/4 and 1 – x/6. We need to find x at which :

2 * (1 – (x/4)) = 1 – (x/6)

This equation results in x = 3

Total=60reems
Utilized=40reems
Un utilized= 60-40=20
Percentage of remainder 20/60=.3333
0.33333*100=33.333%

150

A certain sum amounts to Rs. 1725 in 3 years

and amounts to Rs.1875 in 5 years

so interest of 2 years = 1875 -1725

= 150

so interest of 1 year = 75

so interest of 3 years = 75 × 3 =225 rs

so , Principal = Amount – SI

= 1725 – 225

= 1500 rs

now ,

S.I. = P × N × R /100

75 = 1500 × 1 × R /100

R = 75 / 15

R = 5%

5 * 6 * 7 = 210 ,
Two Least No’s are 5,6
There fore 5+6=11 is answer

451 times.
Explanation: There are 60 minutes in an hour.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 * ¾) minutes = 45 minutes.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 * 45) seconds = 2700 seconds.
Light flashed for every 6 seconds.
In 2700 seconds 2700/6 = 450 times.
The count start after the first flash, the light will
flashes 451 times in ¾ of an hour.

In order to enhance my career, I asked my colleagues about my strength and weaknesses, the areas where I need to improve more, and acquired more knowledge from my superiors. I worked on my weaknesses to convert into a positive response.

6 pairs of earrings. So 12 earrings.

The total has to be 26, so let’s say there’s 6 pairs of earrings and the number of pairs has to be 4 less than the number of rings. So that would make 10 rings. The 10 rings has to be 2 1/2 greater than the number of pins. So you would divide 10/2.5 = 4 Pins. That would equate to a total of 12 earrings, 10 rings, and 4 pins. A total of 26 pieces.

GIVEN
80 CARDS IN 30 MINUTES.
Have to prove 7:30 ?
14 * 80 +80.
Answer is =1200.

Assume his salary was Rs. X
He earns 5% raise. So his salary is (105*X)/100
A year later he receives 2.5% cut.
So his salary is ((105*X)/100)*(97.5/100)
which is Rs. 22702.68
So Ans is Rs.22176
