12 men120 acres36 days54 men?54 days

 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 = 5412x120x5436 = 810 acres

Here by observing the figure, 

we can complete the above incomplete cube with 2 cubes in 2 rows and 2 columns

=> 2 x 4 = 8.

Hence, with 8 small cubes we can complete the cube.

Let the ratio amount be 'p'

7p - 3p = 2700

4p = 2700

p = 675

R's Share = 675 × 6 = Rs. 4050

55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.

60 min. spaces are covered in min. = min.

Loss in 64 min. = min.

Loss in 24 hrs = min. = min.

5 + 5 = 10

5x 2 + 2 = 12

5 x 2 - 1 x 5 = 5

Hence, ∆ = 1.

In the last row fifth letter is 'I'.

n items of which p are alike of one kind, q alike of the other, r alike of another kind and the remaining are distinct can be arranged in a row in n!/p!q!r! ways.
The letter pattern 'MESMERISE' consists of 10 letters of which there are 2M's, 3E's, 2S's and 1I and 1R.
Number of arrangements = 9!(2!)2×3!

Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120

For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120

So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120

Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes

Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.
