X×x-x=272
X^2-x-272=0
(X-16) or (x-17)
X=16 or x=17
17^2-17=272
Answer Is 17

First write equations from info:
(A) (Mon + Tue + Wed)/3 = 111 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 111 – Mon
(B) (Tue + Wed + Thu)/3 =102 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 102 – Thu
(C) Thu = 0.8(Mon)
Substitute equation C into B:
(B) Tue + Wed = 102 – 0.8(Mon)
At this point I changed the values for clearer algebra:
Mon = x
Tue + Wed = y
Re-write equations A & B with new values:
(A) y = 111 – x
(B) y = 102 – 0.8x
Solve simultaneous equations:
111 – x = 102 – 0.8x
111 – 102 = x – 0.8x (Re-arraged)
9 = 0.2x
x = 45
Thus, Mon = 45C
Thu = 0.8(45)
Thu = 36C
So the answer is it was 36C on Thursday

Assume there are 52 weeks in one year.
Since he supposed to have a new order for every two weeks, he
needs 52/2 = 26 orders to break the office record.
Now after 28 weeks,he has got only 28/2 -6 = 8 orders.
Hence,he needs 26-8 = 18 new orders in the remaining 24= 52-28 weeks to break the office record.
Compute 24 orders/18 weeks = 4/3 orders/week ,
we see that averagely he has a new order for
every 4/3 weeks in the remaining weeks to break the office record.
time is inversely proportional to speed.
So if speed taken is 4/5 of usual speed, time taken will be 5/4 of usual time
and the difference between time is 10 min
So,
(5/4)t -t=10 min
usual time,t=40 min
late time=40+10=50 min

To solve this problem, we can break it down into steps:
Step 1: Determine the individual rates of work for A, B, and C.
If A needs 8 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/8 of the task per day.
If B needs 12 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/12 of the task per day.
If C needs 16 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/16 of the task per day.
Step 2: Calculate the combined work rate of A and B.
If A works for 2 days, their contribution will be 2 * (1/8) = 1/4 of the task completed.
If B works until 25% of the job is left for C, then they will complete 75% of the task.
Step 3: Calculate the time it takes for B to complete 75% of the task.
Since B’s work rate is 1/12 of the task per day, it will take B (75%)/(1/12) = 9 days to complete 75% of the task.
Step 4: Calculate the remaining work for C.
If B completes 75% of the task, then the remaining work for C is 100% – 75% = 25% of the task.
Step 5: Calculate the time it takes for C to complete the remaining work.
Since C’s work rate is 1/16 of the task per day, it will take C (25%)/(1/16) = 4 days to complete the remaining 25% of the task.
Step 6: Calculate the total time required.
A worked for 2 days, B worked for 9 days, and C worked for 4 days, totaling 2 + 9 + 4 = 15 days.
Therefore, it will take a total of 15 days for A to work for 2 days, B to work until 25% of the job is left, and C to complete the remaining work.

ans is C.
let H be present age of husaband.W be present age of wife.
H+W=91.
now let diff between their ages be x.that is H-W=x.
now when husband is W yaers old, his wife must be W-x years
old.and it is given that H=2(W-x). so 2W-H=2x. and H-
W=x.eliminating x we get 4W=3H. but H+W=91, so solving thse
two H=52 W=39.
