Given,
The ratio of the doctors to the nurses is 11 : 8
Number of nurses = 8/19 x 209 = 88.

After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work.

After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) + (1/7) is finished.

After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315.

So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315.

Now remaining work =  29 /315

On day 7, A will work again 

Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work.

Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. 

Total days required is 6 + (261/315) days.

Silence is what is so delicate that even mentioning it breaks it.

The seals found at Indus valley sites gave evidance of overseas trade, which was possible only with the knowledge of art of navigation.
Thus, both A and R are true & R correctly explains A.

In the given puzzle, the logic behind is

9 = 72 => 9 x 8 = 72

8 = 56 => 8 x 7 = 56

7 = 42 => 7 x 6 = 42

6 = 30 => 6 x 5 = 30

5 = 20 => 5 x 4 = 20

Similarly,

4 = 12 => 4 x 3 = 12

3 = 6 => 3 x 2 = 6

The given series follow the rule that :

Multiplying consecutive prime numbers
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19....
2x3 = 6
3x5 = 15
5x7 = 35
7x11 = 77
11x13 = 143
13x17 = 221
So, the wrong term is 165.

The required 9 letter word is HEARTBEAT.

If we lose the heartbeat, we die. 234 is EAR, if we have EAR we can 1234, i.e, HEAR.

56 is a type of disease is TB.

Let their present ages be 13x and 17x.
Then, 13x-4/17x-4 = 11/15.
Solving this, we get x = 2.
Required ratio = 13x2 + 6/17x2 + 6 = 32/40 = 4/5.
