C) 2 D) 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2

Explanation:

Let workdone 1 boy in 1 day be b

and that of 1 girl be g

From the given data,

4(5b + 3g) = 23

20b + 12g = 23 .......(a)

 

2(3b + 2g) = 7

6b + 4g = 7 ........(b)

 

Solving (a) & (b), we get

b = 1, g = 1/4

 

Let number og girls required be 'p'

6(7 x 1 + p x 1/4) = 45

=> p = 2.

 

Hence, number of girls required = 2

Q:

Negative plus a positive equals

A) negative B) positive
C) zero D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Can't be determined

Explanation:

We know that a negative value plus a positive value always count backward and the sign depends on the bigger value sign.

When you are adding a negative number to a positive number, then the value counts backward and takes the sign of the biggest number.

 

For example::

Adding -5 and +2

-5 + 2 = -3 (big number is 5 and its sign is '-')

 

Adding -3 and  +5

+5 + (-3) = 5 - 3 = +2(big number is 5 and it has sign '+').
