Recent Answer : Added by Bhagirathi H On 2022-09-15 16:37:05:

Fathers before age=3*before sons age—-(1)
After 2.5 years..
Fathers before age+2.5 years =2.5*sons age—-(2)
Substitute (1) in (2),
3*sons before age+2.5 years=2.5*sons age
0.5*sons age=2.5 years
Sons before age=5years
So current age after 2.5 years,
Sons before age+2.5 =5+2.5=7.5 years

work of a day by both P and Q =>
(1/15) + (1/Q ) = 1/6
solving this Q = 10.

Friends,
The Answer given by ‘Gaurav Sharma’ is correct and
the approach (bottom to top) suggested by ‘Shailesh’ is
good. But with minor correction we can arrive the solution
using this approach:
After 5th loot, No. of breads left = 3
after 4th loot, no. of breads left = (3+0.5)x2 = 7
after 3rd loot, no. of breads left = (7+0.5)x2 = 15
after 2nd loot, no. of breads left = (15+0.5)x2 = 31
after 1st loot, no. of breads left = (31+0.5)x2 = 63
So, before 1st loot, no. of breads left = (63+0.5)x2 = 127

Ques:- What is the importance of computer.
Ques:- HOW MANY LINES CAN BE DRAWN FROM 10 POINTS IN A CIRCLE?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 17:25:01:

Since, there are 10 points on the circle and to draw a chord we need to connect any two points on the circle to make it a straight line, which implies that the number of chords = No of lines connecting any two points out of the 10 points

= 10C2 = 10*9/2 = 45 chords.

Ques:- A and B combinely can do a work in 4 days. If A alone can do a piece of work 6 days. In how many days B alone can do?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:03:23:

say the work is w and let no of days taken by b is ‘x’ which
we have to calculate
so work done by a in one day is w/6
work done by b in one day is w/x
a and b together can do work in 4 days ie=(w/6)+(w/x)=(w/4)
solving equation x=12
so no of days taken by b=12
