We know that 40% = 25

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

25 x 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

We know that (35% of 180 = 180% of 35) & 180% = 95

25 x 265 + 95 x 35 = 50% ?

106 + 63 = 50% ?

?= 2 x 169 = 338.

The maximum number of bows will be 4 yards (= 4 x 36 inches) divided by 15 inches.

This gives 9.6. But as a fraction of a bow is no use, we can only make 9 bows.

A can write in 1hour = 32/6 pages

Similarly, B in 1 hour = 40/5 pages

Together (A+B) in 1 hour = 32/6 + 40/5 = 40/3

So, A+B write 40/3 pages in 1 hour

A+B write 110 pages in (3/40) x 110 Hours = 8 hours 15 min.

We may have(1 black and 2 non-black) or (2 black and 1 non-black) or (3 black).

Required number of ways=3C1*6C2+3C2*6C1+3C3 = (45 + 18 + 1) =64

Let the pipe B be closed after 'K' minutes.

30/16 - K/24 = 1 => K/24 = 30/16 - 1 = 14/16

=> K = 14/16 x 24 = 21 min.

If we want to pack the drinks in the least number of cans possible, then each can should contain the maximum numbers of liters possible.As each can contains the same number liters of a drink, the number of liters in each can is a comman factor for 80,144 and 368; and it is also the highest such factor, as we need to store the maximum number of liters in each can.

So, the number of liters in each can  = HCF of 80,144 and 368 = 16 liters.

Now, number of cans of Maaza = 80/16 = 5

Number of cans of Pepsi = 144/16 = 9

Number of cans of Sprite = 368/16 = 23

Thus, the total number of cans required = 5 + 9 + 23 = 37 

Let A worked for x days.

x/21 + 4/28 = 1  => x = 18

A worked for 18 days. So, A can complete the remaining work in 18 - 4 = 14 days.
