\n7d = m
\n19(d-4) = m-4
\n=> 19d – 76 = 7d – 4
\n=> 12d = 72
\n=> d = 6 and m = 42
\nMother’s age four years from now will be 42 + 4 = 46<\/p>\n
\nThen, pipes B and C will take x\/2 and x\/4 hours respectively to fill the tank.
\n1\/x+2\/x+4\/x=1\/5\u21d47\/x=1\/5 \u21d4x=35hrs<\/p>\n
\nPrice after discount = 101855 -20% of 101855 = Rs 81,484
\nProfit = Rs 3,134<\/p>\n
\n=> LCM of 12, 18 and 20 = 180 seconds = 3 minutes.
\nHence 3 minutes is the answer.<\/p>\n
\nHence, R:S = 7:9 and (R-5):(S-5)=3:4
\nSo, 9R = 7S and 4R-20 = 3S-15 or 4R = 3S+5<\/p>\n
\nTherefore, 28S = 27S+45 or S=45
\nSo, Sudha’s age three years from now will be 48 years old.<\/p>\n
\nAmount = Rs. 10x\/9 , T= 1 year
\nS I = (Amount – sum) = Rs. (10x\/9-x) = Rs. (x\/9) R = ((100\u00d7SI)\/(P\u00d7T))=(100\u00d7x\/9\u00d71\/x)%per annum = (100\/9)% per annum = 11 1\/9% per annum<\/p>\n
\nThey work for total 8*5= 40 hours
\nx+y=(576000)\/40
\n1.8x=14400
\nx=8000
\nAmit speed is 8000 depressions\/hr<\/p>\n
\nThen cost price = 100 – 40 = Rs. 60
\nSelling price = 100+ 50 = Rs. 150
\nProfit = 150 – 60 = 90
\nProfit%=90\/60\u00d7100=150%<\/p>\n
\nDistance traveled =(18\u00d712\/60)km = 3.6 km.<\/p>\n
