12 men complete a work in 14 days. 5 days after they had started working, 3 men join them. How many more days will all of them take to complete the remaining work?

A) 5 B) 4
C) 3 D) 2

The sum of the two digits of a number is 8. If the number is subtracted from the number obtained by reversing its digits, the result is 54. Find the number ?

A) 28 B) 19
C) 37 D) 17
