Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let the required number of days be x.
Less cows, More days (Indirect Proportion)
Less bags, Less days (Direct Proportion)
1 x 40 x x = 40 x 1 x 40
=> x = 40.
Correct Answer: 48 Paise
Explanation:
Let the Required cost be X paise. Less Weight , Less cost (Direct Proportion)
Therefore, 250 : 200 :: 60 : x
=> (250 * x) = (200 * 60)
=> x= 48
Correct Answer: Rs. (yd/x)
Explanation:
Cost of x metres = Rs. d.
Cost of 1 metre = Rs.(d/x)
Cost of y metres = Rs.[(d/x).y] = Rs.(yd/x)
Correct Answer: 42

After 10 days : 150 men had food for 35 days.
Suppose 125 men had food for x days.
Now, Less men, More days (Indirect Proportion)
125 : 150 :: 35 : x 125 x x = 150 x 35
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Let the required number of revolutions made by larger wheel be x.
Then, More cogs, Less revolutions (Indirect Proportion)
14 : 6 :: 21 : x => 14 x x = 6 x 21
x=6*21/14 => x=9
Correct Answer: 30
