Q:

If 12 men can reap 120 acres of land in 36 days, how many acres of land can 54 men reap in 54 days?

A) 710 acres	B) 760 acres
C) 810 acres	D) 860 acres

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 810 acres

Explanation:

$\begin{matrix} 12 m e n & 120 a c r e s & 36 d a y s \\ 54 m e n & ? & 54 d a y s \end{matrix}$

As 12 men can reap 120 acres, 54 men will be able to reap more acres in 36 days, 120 acres of land was reaped, so in 54 days, more land will be reaped.

Thus, the numbers of acres that can be reaped by 54 men in 54 days = $\frac{54}{12} x 120 x \frac{54}{36}$ = 810 acres

A) 25 sec	B) 40 sec

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40 sec

Explanation:

Speed of train relative to jogger = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr.

Distance to be covered = 260 + 140 = 400 m.

Time taken = 400/10 = 40 sec.

C) 4:3	D) 2:3
