Explanation:
Correct Answer: ? 40
Explanation:
Correct Answer: ? 1600
Explanation:
A's 1 day's work = 1/3
B's 1 day's work = 1/4
A's share : B's share
= (1/3) : (1/4) = (4/12) : (3/12)
= 4 : 3
A's share = (4/7) x 2800
= 4 x 400
= ? 1600
Correct Answer: 50%
Explanation:
Let 1st person be X and 2nd person be Y.
Then, X's 1 day's work = 1/26
Y's 1 day's work = 1/39
X's share : Y's share
= 1/26 : 1/39 = 3/78 : 2/78 = 3 : 2
Difference of ratio = 3 - 2 = 1
? Required percentage = (1/2) x 100% = 50%
? 1 st person's wages is 50 % more than the 2nd person's wages.
Correct Answer: ? 720
Explanation:
A's 1 day's work = 1/2
B's 1 day's work = 1/3
A's share : B's share = 1/2 : 1/3 = 3/6 : 2/6 = 3 : 2
A's share (3/5) x 6000 = 3 x 1200 = ? 3600
? 20% of A's share 3600 x (20/100) = ? 720
Correct Answer: ? 80
Explanation:
Vandana's 1 day's work = 1/10
(vandana + Ruchi)'s 1 day work =1/6
? Ruchi's 1 day's work
= 1/6 - 1/10 = (10 - 6)/ (6 x 10) = 4 / 60 = 1/15
? Vandana's share : Ruchi's share
= 1/10 : 1/15 = 3/30 : 2/30 = 3 : 2
Ruchi's share = 2/5 x 200 = ? 80
Correct Answer: 12 days
Explanation:
A's 1 day's work = 1/21
B's day's work = 1/28
? Same money is sufficient to pay the wages of both for
= 1 / [(1/21) + (1/28)] = (21 x 28) / (21 + 28)
= (21 x 28) / 49
= 3 x 4 = 12 days
