If the total area of pump=1 part

The pumop take 2 hrs to fill 1 part 

The pumop take1 hour to fill 1/2 portion 

Due to lickage  

The pumop take 7/3 hrs to fill 1 part 

The pumop take1 hour to fill 3/7 portion 

Now the difference of area = (1/2-3/7)=1/14 

This 1/14 part of water drains in 1 hour 

Total area=1 part of water drains in (1x14/1)hours= 14 hours 

So the leak can drain all the water of the tank in 14 hours. 

Leak will empty the tank in 14 hrs

Let C = x. Then, B = x + 5000  and A =  x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.

So,  x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000  <=>  3x = 36000  <=>

x = 12000.

A : B : C =  21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.

A's share = Rs. (35000 * 21/50 ) = Rs. 14,700.

Let the orginal salary = Rs. 100. New's salary = Rs.120.

Decrease on 120 = 20. Decrease on 100 = [(20/120)*100]% = (16 + 2/3) %. 

The wages of labourers in a factory increases in the ratio 22:25 and there was a reduction in the number of labourers in the ratio 15:11. Find the original wage bill if the present bill is Rs 5000 ?
Ratio of increase of wages = 22:25
Ratio of decrease of labourers = 15:11
Compound ratio of wages of labourers = 22 x 15 : 25 x 11 = 330:275
Final bill = Rs. 5000
For 275 ratio wages = Rs. 5000
For 1 ratio wages = 5000/275
For 330 ratio wages = 5000/275 x 330 = Rs. 6000

We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.
Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.
Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) = 2520 sq.m
