Ques:- The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits of the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1 : 2 ?
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:- If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage.(a) 40%(b) 55%(c) 35%(d) 30%
Recent Answer : Added by Soumyadip Dutta On 2022-09-02 17:02:21:

let MP = 100x
25% discount = 75x -> SP
Profit% = (Profit/CP)x100
125 = (75x/CP)x100
.: CP = 60x

Now if discount = 10%
SP = 90x
.: Profit% = ((90x-60x)/60x)x100 = 50%

Ques:- Sanskriti Award 2006 for Literature has been awarded to?
Ques:- Two pipes X and Y can separately fill a cistern in 18 and 24 hours respectively. If they are turned on alternately for one hour each, how long will it take to fill the cistern?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 17:08:06:

X filling rate is 1/18 or 4/72 per hour

Y filling rate is 1/24 or 3/72 per hour

Combined as a pair it’s 7/72 in a complete 2 hour alternating sequence

72+ 7/72 =10 sequences = 70/72 on 20 hours, The outstanding balance is just 2/72

So at 20.5 hours with X turn filling is 100% complete with 72/72

Answer: It will take 20.5 hours to completely fill this tank.

Analysis of measured filling process, from X = 42/72 share & from Y = 30/72 share

Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 19:14:13:

Complete step-by-step answer:
Investment made by A for 1 year, IA=2000
Investment made by B for 2 year,
IB=2×3000IB=6000

Investment made by C for 2 year,
IC=2×4000IC=8000
The ratio of their investment is given by
IA:IB:IC=2000:6000:8000
To simplify the ratio divide it by 1000,
IA:IB:IC=2:6:8
Now again to simplify divide the ratio by 2,
IA:IB:IC=1:3:4
The total parts of this investment =1+3+4=8
A’s share in the investment is 1 out of the 8 parts; B’s share is 3 out of 8 while C’s share is 4.
Therefore, the profit share of A’s investment of Rs. 2000=18×3200=400.
