A basin can be filled by tap A in 5 hours and tap B in 8 hours, each tap working on its own When the basin in full and a drainage hole is open, the water is drained in 20 hours. If initially the basin was empty and someone started the two taps together but left the drainage hole open, how long does it take for the basin to be filled?
Basin is filled by Ain 5 hours
In 1 hour, part of Basin is filled
Similarly by ‘ B’ in 1 hour, part of Basin is filled
The both tap can fill in 1 hour = part of Basin
As, the leak can empty the fill Basin in 20 hours
In 1 hour, the leak can empty part of Basin.
The amount of water remain in the Basin in 1 hour= part of Basin
Thus, while two taps are working,
of the Basin is filled in = 1 hour
1 or full part of the Basin is filled n = hour
A circular garden is surrounded by a road. If the outer circumference of the road is greater than the inner circumference by 88 meters, what is the width of the road?
Let, Radius of the garden with road is = R meter
& Radius of the garden without road is = r meter
Outer circumstance of the garden 2πR meter
Inner circumstance of the garden 2πr meter
Here, width of the road (R-r) meter
According to question,
2πR - 2πr = 88
= (R - r) 2π= 88
R-r=
Width of the road is 14 meters.

But, due to absence, new per head cost will be taka
According to question,
Sum of ages of mother and daughter is 60 years. 5 years ago, the ratio of their age were 4:1. What will be the ratio of their age after 10 years?
5 years age, mother's age was 4x years & daughter's age was x years
There present age will be (4x + 5) and (x + 5) years respectively.
According to the question,
4x + 5 + x + 5 = 60
=5x + 10 = 60
= 5x = 60 - 10
x=
After 10 years, they will be = (4x + 5 + 10) : (x + 5 + 10) = (4 10 + 5 + 10) : (10 + 5 + 10)
= (40 + 15) : 25 = 55 : 25 = 11 : 5
Let, number of total bench is x
Number of students = 5x - (4 5) = 5x - 20
In second case, number of students will bc = 3x + 20
According to the question,
5x - 20 = 3x + 20
= 5x - 3x = 20 + 20
= 2x = 40
Number of benches is 20.
The sum of three times the smaller and four times the larger is 71 and twice the larger of two numbers is three more than five times the smaller. What are the numbers?
Larger number is x & smaller number is y.
According to question,
4x + 3y =71........(i)
and 2x = 5y + 3 (ii)
From equation (ii)
2x = 5y + 3
=2x-5y=3…………(iii)
Multiplying equation (iii) by 2 and subtracting it from equation (i), we get
Putting (y = 5) in equation (ii) we get,
2x = 5y + 3
=2x = (5 5) + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28
x=
Larger number 14 and smaller number 5.
