Correct Answer: n3/m2
Explanation:
Let the required number of units of work = k
According to the formula,
W1= m and W2 = k
M1T1D1W2 = M2T2D2W1
? m x m x m x k = n x n x n x m
? x= (m x n3) / m3 = n3/m2
Correct Answer: 37 yr and 28 yr
Explanation:
Let the ages of mother, father and boys be M, F, B1 and B2, respectively.
The total age of four member
= 19 x 4
= 76 yr.
Given (B1 + B1)/2 = 11/2
? B1 + B2 = 11
M + F + B1 + B2 = 76 - 11
? M + F = 65 .......(i)
According to the question,
(B1 + B2 + F) / 3 = (B1 + B2 + M) / 3 + 3
? B1 + B2 + F) = B1 + B2 + M + 9
? F = M + 9
? F - M = 9 ............. (ii)
From Eqs (i) and (ii), we get
F = 37 yr and M = 28 yr
Correct Answer: 251001
Explanation:
Given expression = a2+b2+2ab = (a+b)2
where a = 387 and b = 114
= (387 + 114 )2
= (501)2
=(500 +1 )2
=(500)2 + (1)2+ 2 x 500 x 1
= 250000 + 1 +1000 = 251001.

Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Total number of letters = 5
Number of vowels = 2.
If we consider both vowel as a one letter then,
Required number = 4! 2! = 48.
Correct Answer: Rs. 625
Explanation:
S.I for 1 year = Rs. (925 - 850) = Rs. 75
S.I for 3 year = Rs. (75 x 3) = Rs. 225
? Sum = Rs. (850 - 225) = Rs. 625
Correct Answer: 300%
Explanation:
Original area = ?(d/2)2
= (?d2) / 4
New area = ?(2d/2)2
= ?d2
Increase in area = (?d2 - ?d2/4)
= 3?d2/4
? Required increase percent
= [(3?d2)/4 x 4/(?d2) x 100]%
= 300%
Correct Answer: 8 : 27 : 12 hrs.
Explanation:
Interval of changes = (L . C . M of 48, 72, 108) sec. = 432 sec.
So, the lights will simultaneously changes after every 432 seconds i,e 7 min. 12 sec.
So, the next simultaneously changes will take place at 8 : 27 : 12 hrs.
Correct Answer: 67 kg
Explanation:
Here n1 = 19, a1 = 74, n2 = 38, a1 = 63
Total average weight = (n1a1 + n2 a2) / (n1 + n2)
= [(19) (74) + (38) (63)] / (19 + 38)
= 3800/57 ? 67 kg
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
36 = 2 2 x 3 2
84 = 22 x 3 x 7
∴ H.C.F. = 22 x 3 = 12.
