Let the number of males be 'M'
Let the number of females be 'F'
From the given conditions,
(F-15)=2M.....(i)
F=5(M-45).....(ii)
By solving the equations (1) & (2) we get M = 80
Then substitute M = 80 in (1)
F = 2M + 15
F = 2 x 80 + 15
=> F = 175
Therefore, number of males = 80 and females = 175 in the party.

Ans. 
Time taken by A to complete a work alone - 24 days
Time taken by A in completing 1/3 of work = 24*1/3= 8 Days
8 day = time taken by B in completing 1/2 of work
B alone can complete the work = 16 days
The required time in completing the work if both A & B start working together?
16*24 / 40 = 48/5 Days

 The formula to find the volume is given by just multiplying Length, Breadth and Height of that object. 

 Thus, V = L x B X H  

Volume Formulae :   

1. Volume of Cube of side 's' = s x s x s = s3  cubic units.   

2. Volume of Cylinder = πR2h cubic units.  

[Where R is Radius and h is height]

Here,n = 4(children)

P(girl)= 0.5

P(of atleast one girl)= 1 - P(no girls)

                             = 1 - 0.0625 = 0.9375

Given Loss = Rs. 40.4
We know loss = cost price - selling price
40.4 = CP - 35(15)
=> CP = 40.4 + 525
=> CP = Rs. 565.4
Now the New selling price of waffer is Rs. 18
=> SP = 35(18) = 630
Now Gain = SP - CP = 630 -565.4 = Rs. 64.6.

Let man invested Rs. A And, after two years amount invested = (A +

Sol : In this kind of questions we find the work force required to complete the work in 1 day (or given unit of time) then we equate the work force to find the relationship between the efficiencies (or work rate) between the different workers.

Therefore, 6B+8G = 6 days

 => 6(6B+8G)= 1 day  (inversely proportional)

 => 36B+48G =1         ( by unitary method)

Again  14B+10G = 4days

 => 56B+40G =1

so, here it is clear that either we employ 36B and 48G to finish the work in 1 day or 56B and 40G to finish the same job in 1 day. thus , we can say

 => 36B+48G = 56B+40G

 => G= 2.5B

Thus a Girl is 2.5 times as efficient as a boy.

Now, since  36B+48G = 1

 => 36B+48(2.5 B)=1

 =>156B=1

i.e., to finish the job in 1 day 156 boys are required or the amount of work is 156 boys-days

Again    1G+1B=2.5B+1B=3.5B

Now, since 156 boys can finish the job in 1 day

so 1 boy can finish the job in 156 days

Therefore, 3.5 boys can finish the job in 1×1563.5= 47 days.
