As we know that a week has 7 days,

k weeks k days = (7k + k) days = 8k days.

Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)
Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get:

x = 40 km.

Total number of students = 54 x 30
When arranged in rows of 45, number of rows formed are,
54x3045 = 36.

He has gain = 15 - 12 = 3,
Gain% = (3/12) x 100 = (100/4) = 25.
He has 25% gain.

Let the cost price of the item = Rs. 50

Sold at 10% loss => for Rs. 50 loss  S.P = Rs. 45

From the  given data,

25/2 % gain if it is sold at Rs. 9 more

56.25 - 45 = 9

=> 11.25 = 9

=> 22.5 = 18

=> 45 = 36

=> 50 = ?

=> C.P = 50 x 3645 = 40

Hence, the Cost price of the item = Rs. 40.

Let work done by 1 man in i day be m

and Let work done by 1 boy in 1 day be b

From the given data,

4(5m + 3b) = 23

20m + 12b = 23....(1)

2(3m + 2b) = 7

6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)

By solving (1) & (2), we get

m = 1, b = 1/4

Let the number of required boys = n

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

=> n = 2.

Let there are L men

job requires LK man hours.

job completed in first 4 hrs = L x 4 = 4L

job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/2 = 2L

job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/4 = L

job completed in last 4 hrs = 4 x L/8 = L/2

4L + 2L + L + L/2 = KL

K = 7+1/2 = 7.5 hours.

Given ratio of initial mixture of milk and water in Q = 5 : 3

Let the initial quantity of mixture in vessel Q = 8x

Let quantity of Milk = 5x and

Let quantity of water = 3x

According to the question,

5x + 10 x 353x + 10 x 25 = 85

=> 25x + 30 = 24x + 32

=> x = 2

Required Initial quantity of milk = 5x = 5 x 2 = 10 lit.
