Ques:- Achievements in my career.
Ques:- A is thrice as efficient as B and is, therefore, able to finish a piece of work 10 days earlier than B. In how many days A and B will finish it together?
Recent Answer : Added by Abhi Chatterjee On 2022-01-08 16:05:10:

Let n be the number of days it takes A and B, working together, to finish. And we know B=A+10 and B=3A, so:

3A=A+10

2A=10

A=5

Then B=15

So:

1/A + 1/B=1/n where n is the total amount of days. So:

1/5 + 1/15=1/n

3n+n=15

n=15/4 days

Ques:- Sum of two numbers is 80. Greater number exceeds by 5 from four times of the smaller. Find the numbers?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 18:30:23:

Let x and y be the two numbers. And x > y.
Then,
x + y = 80—–(1)
y=80-y
Also,
x = 4y – 5
Solving the two equations,
80 – y = 4y – 5
85 = 5y
Therefore, y = 17
put the value of y in equation(1)
then
x+y=80
x+17=80
x=63
the numbers are 17&63

Recent Answer : Added by Alisha Ravika Kar On 2022-08-14 16:43:27:

The number is greater than the number obtained in reversing the digits and the ten’s digit is greater than the unit’s digit
Let ten’s and unit’s digit be 2x and x respectively
Then, (10×2x+x)−(10x+2x)=36
9x=36
x=4
Required difference=(2x+x)−(2x−x)=2x=8

Ques:- The average weight of a group of boys is 30 kg. After a boy of weight 35 kg joins the group, the average weight of the group goes up by 1 kg. Find the number of boys in the group originally ?
Recent Answer : Added by Vivek verma On 2021-08-25 14:15:38:

let no of boys in group is = x
then total sum = 30 * x
after joining one more boys with a weight of 35 kg the total sum is = 30x + 35
after joining the new student the weight will increase 1 kg
so total sum
30x + 35 = 31(x+1)
x = 4

Ques:- There N stations on a railroad. After adding X stations on the rail route 46 additional tickets have to be printed. Find N and X
Recent Answer : Added by Rishabh Gupta On 2022-03-09 16:33:47:

Each PAIR of stations means a PAIR of tickets (A to B and B to A)

2(old stations)(new stations) + 2(new stations)(new stations – 1) = 46

(N * X) + (X * (X – 1)) = 23

factoring ___ X (N + X – 1) = 23

23 is a prime number with only two factors, 1 and 23

so N = 23 and X = 1
