5 boys and 3 girls can together cultivate a 23 acre field in 4 days and 3 boys and 2 girls together can cultivate a 7 acre field in 2 days. How many girls will be needed together with 7 boys, if they cultivate 45 acres of field in 6 days?
Options- A. 4
- B. 3
- C. 2
- D. 1
- Correct Answer
- 2
ExplanationLet workdone 1 boy in 1 day be b
and that of 1 girl be g
From the given data,
4(5b + 3g) = 23
20b + 12g = 23 .......(a)
2(3b + 2g) = 7
6b + 4g = 7 ........(b)
Solving (a) & (b), we get
b = 1, g = 1/4
Let number og girls required be 'p'
6(7 x 1 + p x 1/4) = 45
=> p = 2.
Hence, number of girls required = 2

Four tenths = 0.4
Five thousandths = 0.005
The average is (0.4 + 0.005)/2 = 0.2025
Correct Answer: 222
Correct Answer: 61, 58 and 55
Correct Answer: 4√10
Correct Answer: Vr / (12 - V)
Explanation:
We have to rearrange the equation to make R the subject.
Start by cross multiplying by (r + R); V (r + R) = 12R
Multiply out the bracket Vr + VR = 12R
Correct Answer: 70
Correct Answer: 6/16
Correct Answer: 12240
Explanation:
LCM of (80, 85, 90) can be found by prime factorizing them.
80 ? 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
85 ? 17 × 5
90 ? 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 2 × 2 x 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 17
= 16 x 9 x 85
= 144 x 85
= 12240
L.C.M of (80,85,90) = 12240.
