  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.

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.

Let the place be at a distance of 'd' kms

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} d5 - 1 + d5 + 1 = 7560 kms \\ d4 + d6 = 54 \\ \end{gathered}$$

5d/12 = 5/4 => d = 3 kms.

Hence, the place is 3 kms far.

Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively.

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit.

Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. 

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. 

% Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.

Let Q complete that work in 'L' days

=> 1L + 1L-5 = 9100

=> 9L2-245L+500=0

L = 25 days.

Clearly total persons are increased in  28/35 :: 52/65 = 4:5.

As time is inversely proportional to men, so total time will decrease in the ratio 5:4.

Hence, 22.5 x 4/5 = 18 days.

63.5% of 8924.2 +? % of 5324.4 = 6827.5862

=> 63.5% of 8925 + ? % of 5325 = 6830

=> 6830 ~= 5320 + ?(5325)/100

=> ? ~= 22

Let number of days Charan can do the same work alone is 'd' days.

According to the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 512 + 716 + 14d = 1 \\ 14d = 1 - 20 + 2148 \\ 14d = 48 - 4148 \\ d = 14 x 487 \\ d = 96 days \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, Charan alone can complete the work in 96 days.
