Soldier have to move 0.75 miles to West and then 0.375 miles to South to reach the camp.
How:-
Firstly soldier moving 1 mile to East from camp and then 1/2 miles= 0.50 miles to North .

Then it is moving 1/4 miles =0.25 miles to west
And then 1/8 miles =0.125 miles to South

Now we just have to count the difference and minus the value of camp to East with the value of North to west = 1mile – 0.25miles(1/4) = 0.75 miles

Same case with north and south = 0.50 miles(1/2) – 0.125 miles(1/8) = 0.375 miles

Hence proves to return camp the soldier have to move 0.75 miles to west and 0.375 miles to south

Ques:- Find the cost of fencing around a circular field of diameter 28 m at the rate of Rs.1.50 a meter?
Recent Answer : Added by Prachi Bees On 2021-12-10 16:35:10:

In the example first we have to find the area of the field

we have given the following values ,

cost of fencing per meter = Rs 1.50

Diameter of circular field = 28

We have to find the area , a = ?

We know that,

Area = 2 π r

= 2 x 22/7 x 14

= 2 x 22 x 2

= 44 x 2

= 88 sq. m

So, area of circle is 88 sq.m

Now just multiply it with 1.50

cost of fencing = 88 x 1.50

= Rs. 132

So, the cost of fencing the circular field is Rs. 132

Ques:- A milk vendor has 2 cans of milk. The first contains 25% water and the rest milk. The second contains 50% water. How much milk should he mix from each of the containers so as to get 12 litres of milk such that the ratio of water to milk is 3 : 5?
A. 4 litres, 8 litres
B. 5 litres, 7 litres
C. 6 litres, 6 litres
D. 7 litres, 5 litres
Recent Answer : Added by Abdul On 2022-05-17 08:56:53:

Ans- 6,6 litres
Let x Litres from can1 (where, water = x/4 litres and milk = 3x/4 litres)
Now
12-x liters from can 2 ( where, water = 6-x/2, milk = 6-x/2)

Now given
water/milk = 3/5
0.25x+6-0.5x / 0.75 +6-0.5x = 3/5
6-0.25x/6+0.25 = 3/5
Solve it you get
x = 6 litres from can1
Then 12-x= 12-6=6 litres from can2

Ques:- There are two candles of equal lengths and of different thickness. The thicker one lasts of six hours. The thinner 2 hours less than the thicker one. Ramesh lights the two candles at the same time. When he went to bed he saw the thicker one is twice the length of the thinner one. How long ago did Ramesh light the two candles?
Recent Answer : Added by Naru Mani Chandan On 2022-03-18 09:18:12:

3 hours ago.

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
