we know,
area=b*h
b gets increased by 20% i.e (b+0.20b)
h gets decreased by 20% i.e (h-0.20h)
rewriting the equation(area=b*h),
area=(b+0.20b)*(h-0.20h)
area=b(1+0.20)*h(1-0.20)
area=b(1.20)*h(0.80)
area=b*h*(1.20)*(0.80)
area=b*h*(0.96)
i.e new area=0.96 times the original area
if 100% was the original area,it has decreased to 96%
so,100%-96%= 4%
let square be x (squares are 4 sides)
i.e., X+X+X+X=4X
4X+3=1460
4X=1460-3
4X=1457
X=364.25
Let\: the\: total\: price \: be\: Rs. X\: then,
B= 2x/7 & A= \left ( x-2 \right )/7
So, A:B = 5x/7 : 2x/7 = 5 : 2
Let \: B’s \: capital\; be\: Rs.Y\: then\: \left ( 16000\ast 8 \right )/4y= 5/2
=> (16000\ast 8\ast 2)/(4\ast 5) = y
=> y = Rs. 12800
Mr. Brown painted the first whole house in 6 days plus 1/3 of the second house in the next 2 days. Mr. Black can paint a whole house in 8 days and had 8 days to work, so he painted the equivalent of 1 whole house. That accounts for 2-1/3 houses painted. Mr. Blue only needs to paint 2/3 of the last house, so 2/3 times 12 days equals 8 days.
1600 years contain 0 odd day.
300 years contain 1 odd day.
94 years = (23 leap years + 71 ordinary years)
= (46 + 71) odd days
= 117 odd days, i.e., 5 odd days
Days from 1st January 1995 to 28th February 1995
= (31 + 28) days = 59 days
= (8 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days
∴ Total number of odd days
= (0 + 1 + 5 + 3) = 9 odd days i.e., 2 odd days.
So, the required day is Tuesday.
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.
This is more logical …
Let the 1st flag 1 placed at the origin ….
in crossing 8 flags he traveled 7 distances….
s=d/t
=7/8
time for 4 flags t=(d/s)=4/(7/8)=(4*8)/7=4.5714285714285714285714285714286

X filling rate is 1/18 or 4/72 per hour
Y filling rate is 1/24 or 3/72 per hour
Combined as a pair it’s 7/72 in a complete 2 hour alternating sequence
72+ 7/72 =10 sequences = 70/72 on 20 hours, The outstanding balance is just 2/72
So at 20.5 hours with X turn filling is 100% complete with 72/72
Answer: It will take 20.5 hours to completely fill this tank.
Analysis of measured filling process, from X = 42/72 share & from Y = 30/72 share
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.
Ok
270/(27*1000)*3600=36
