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:- How many numbers greater than 5000 can be formed with four of the digits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 where no digit can be repeated
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 17:47:29:

When none of the digits are repeated:

The hundred’s place can be filled by any of the digits: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 except the one which has already been used at the thousand’s place, so it can be filled in 5 ways.

Similarly tens’ place can be filled in 4 ways: only those 4 numbers which have not been use either at hundred’s or thousand’s place.
Unit’s place can be filled in only 3 ways. So, total number of nos. Possible =4×5×4×3= 240

500 = Total+50
Total(450) = only one paper(p) + 29+20+35 + all three (g)
285+212+127 = p + 2( 29+20+35 )+ 3g
solve above .. to get g = 45 …

Ques:- A football team played 60 matches out of which 30% were won by them. If they start winning all the next matches after how many matches will the average winning rate be 50% ?
Recent Answer : Added by Suman On 2021-10-07 15:41:23:

Matches played: 60.
Matches won: 30% of 60 => (60*(30/100)) = 18 matches.
Iterative approach:
On adding 1 to matches played and matches won, on every iteration until the win percentage gets to 50. So
19 / 61 = 0.3114754098360656
20 / 62 = 0.3225806451612903
21 / 63 = 0.3333333333333333
22 / 64 = 0.34375




Similarly,
41 / 83 = 0.4939759036144578
42 / 84 = 0.5

So, after 60th match 24 more matches has to be played and won to get 50% average winning rate.
