length of the diagonal = 52 x (15/60) =13m 

sum of length and breadth = 68 x (15/60) = 17m

l2+b2=13 or l+b =17

area =lb = 1/2[(2lb)] = 1/2[(l+b)² - (l²+b²)] = 1/2[17² -169]

=1/2 x 120 = 60 sq.m

Apply Allegation Method and first calculate the ratio in which they have to be mixed.

= 8 : 12 = 2 : 3

Thus, the two varieties of oil should be mixed in the ratio 2 : 3. So, if 240 liters of the second variety are taken, then 160 liters of the first variety should be taken.

Let Veena paid x,
so Akshitha paid 2x/3 , and Lasya paid 2x,
So total bill paid is given by
x+(2x/3) +2x = 1, we get
i.e. x = 3/11

I = PTR/100
I = 25 x 4 x 0.03/100
I = 0.03 x 100 = 300 Ps = Rs. 3

The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.

Let 'p' kgs of dry grapes are obtained from the 60 kgs of fresh grapes

=> $$\begin{gathered} 60 x 40100 = p x 60100 \\ => p = 40 kgs. \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, 40 kgs of Dry grapes are obtained from 60 kgs of Fresh grapes.

Speed in downstream = 96/8 = 12 kmph

Speed of current = 4 km/hr

Speed of the boatman in still water = 12 – 4 = 8 kmph

Speed in upstream = 8 – 4 = 4 kmph

Time taken to cover 8 km upstream = 8/4 = 2 hours.

Here always remember, when ever x% loss,
it means S.P. = (100 - x)% of C.P
when ever x% profit,
it means S.P. = (100 + x)% of C.P

So here will be (100 - x)% of C.P.
= 80% of 1200
= (80/100) * 1200
= 960

Let 1 man's 1 day work = x and 1 woman's 1 day work = y.
Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8 and 3x + 7y = 1/10
Solving these two equations, we get:
x = 11/400 and y = 1/400
10 woman's 1 day work = (1/400 x 10) = 1/40.

Hence, 10 women will complete the work in 40 days.
