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

answer is 28
>2+8=10
>reverse of 28 is 82
>subtract 28 from 82
>82-28=54
the number is 28

Now as per question, Kamal invested for 12 months and Sameer invested for 7 months.
So, Kamal:Sameer=(9000×12​):(8000×7​)
=108.56=27:14
Sameer ratio in profit will be =6970×4114​=Rs.2380

I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks
like their math isn’t good and is extremeley complex to
have an asnwer of 25% to this question. Consider – Rs.1.00/-
per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-
extra at the end of the deal. So he’s left with Rs.44.00/-
after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over
Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%.
Hope this helps…
Thanks.

13 Kigs & 6 Libs –> 510tors in 10hrs
” –> 51 tors/hr
14 Libs –> 484 tors in 12hrs
” –> 121/3 tors/hr
1 Lib –> 121/42 tors/hr
==> 6 Libs –> 121/7 tors/hr
Now,
13 kigs and 6 Libs –> 51 tors/hr
Only 13 Kigs –> 51 – (121/7) tors/hr
= 236/91 tors/hr

Spade 13/52 = 1/4
King 4/52 = 1/13
Spade OR King 13/52 + 4/52 – 1/52 (because the King of Spades is in both groups) = 16/52 = 4/13

One day work = 1 / 20
One mans one day work = 1 / ( 20 * 75)
Now:
No. Of workers = 50
One day work = 50 * 1 / ( 20 * 75)
The total no. of days required to complete the work = (75 * 20) / 50 =
30
