Ques:- A person with some money spends1/3 for cloths, 1/5 of the remaining for food and 1/4 of the remaining for travel. He is left with Rs 100/- . How much did he have with him in the beginning ?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 18:09:06:

let the amount of money be x

cloths 1/3 X x=rs.x/3

balance = x- x/3 = 2x/3

food = 1/5 X 2x/3 = 2x/15

balance = 2x/3 – 2x/15= 8x/15

travel = 1/4 X 8x/15 = 2x/15

now he has 100 rupees

2x/5 = 100
2x= 500
x = 500/2
x = 250

let x be lenghth of candles.

thicker one—- in 1 hr 1/6th will go.
thinner one— in 1 hr 1/4th will go.

let he lit for n hrs.

so in n hrs thicker one goes n/6.
and thinner one goes n/4.

so remainini length are x-n/6 and x-n/4.so x-n/6=2(x-n/4)
implie n=3x. if x=1 n=3hrs.
