Suppose B joined for x months.

Given profit is divided in the ratio 3:1. Then,

85000×1242500×x=31

 --> x = 8 months.

Profit ratio X & Y = (700 × 3) + (700 × 5/7× 3) + (700× 5/7 + 200 × 3/5 )× 6 : 600 ×12
X:Y= 7320 : 7200= 183:180
∴ X’s share from profit = 183 × 726/(183+180) = Rs. 366.

  LCD is nothing but Lowest or Least Common Denominator

Here LCD of 12 and 18 means LCD of two fractions with denominators 12 and 18 respectively.

Therefore, LCM of 12 & 18 = 6 x 3 x 2 = 36 

•  How to calculate LCD ::

The lowest common denominator or least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a set of fractions.

Whale belongs to Mammal category whereas Rat belongs to Rodent.

12 N in a C means 12 Numbers in a Clock.

3 x 1.5 + 1.5 = 6

6 x 2.5 + 2.5 = 17.5

17.5 x 3.5 + 3.5 = 64.75

64.75 x 4.5 + 4.5 = 295.875

From the given data,

containers contain mixtures of milk and water as 1365 lit, 1560 lit and 1755 lit.

Biggest measure that can measure all these different quantities exactly can be given by

HCF of (1365, 1560, 1755) 

That can be found as 

HCF of 1365, 1755 = 195

Now, HCF of 195 and 1560 = 195

Hence, biggest measure that can measure all the given different quantities exactly is 195 lit.

X= 2/3Y 

=> Y= 3/2X

Aage of X after 6 years = 46 years

So present age of X = 46-6 = 40 years

Now, present age of Y = 3/2 * 40 = 60 years.
