So we consider the 2nd statement first. We can form an equation out of it.
14x-6=13y+3=9z+3
Using this, we can understand that the multiple of 14 and the multiple of 13 and 9 must have a difference of 9. The easiest way to ensure that is multiplying it by 9
14*9=126
13*9=117
If the 5th farmer gives 3 apples to the 4th farmer, they would have 123 and 120 apples respectively. However, we also know that the 2nd farmer has 117 apples (13*9=117, and this is a multiple of 9) if the 5th farmer gives 3 apples too the 2nd farmer, the 3rd, 4th and 5th farmers would have 120 apples each.
Now that we got 120, we should check if the first part of the question makes sense along with it. The equation would be
7a+1=11b-1=120
We know that 11*11=121 and 7*17=119. When we add 1 to 119 and subtract 1 from 121, we get 120 for each. In this way, all the farmers have 120 apples each.
Therefore, the 3rd farmer had a yield of 11 per tree and the 4th farmer had a yield of 9 per tree.
Given:
Speed of man downstream= 30/3=10km/h
Speed of man in upstream=18/3=6km/h
Speed of man in still water=1/2 (speed of upstream+ speed of down stream)
= 1/2 (10+6)
=1/2*16
=8km/h
The number of ways of selecting a group of eight is
5 men and 3 women=5C5×6C3 =20
4 men and 4 women=5C4×6C4 =75
3 men and 5 women=5C3×6C5=60
2 men and 6 women=5C2×6C6=10
Thus the total possible cases is 20+75+60+10=165.
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

( b ) 216.90
(3/4)*(L/Sp)=30
L/Sq=75
(3/4)*(Sq/Sp)=30/75
Sq/Sp=8/15
Sp/Sq=15/8
Answer is 274 .
Let the required term be x.
Pattern :- 1) Find the difference between consecutive terms as :
2 – 1 = 1
4 – 2 = 2
13 – 4 = 9
31 – 13 = 18
112 – 31 = 81
2) Now write the above numbers obtained by differences in series as :
1, 2, 9, 18, 81, y
(Suppose y be next term after 81.)
3) Look the difference series carefully and it follows the below pattern as :
(9 * 2)/1 = 18
(18 * 9)/2 = 81
(81 * 18)/9 = 162 = y (the next term after 81)
Thus the required answer is :
x = 112 + y
x = 112 +162 =274
These both ans are wrong Instead of cutting it vertically we cut it horizontally. we got 2 equal halves.
According to the question:
⇒(x+5)(y−10)=300
⇒xy+5y−10x−50=xy
⇒5×300−10x−50=0
⇒−150+x2+5x=0
⇒x2+15x−10x−150=0
⇒x(x+15)−10(x+15)=0
⇒x=10 or −15
Price cannot be negative
So, As x>0,x=10.
