Q:

The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degrees. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 60 degrees. If the temperatures of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day ?

A) 62 degrees B) 64 degrees
C) 65 degrees D) 66 degrees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64 degrees

Explanation:

Sum of temperatures on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days = (58 * 4) = 232 degrees ... (1)

Sum of temperatures on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days - (60 * 4) = 240 degrees  ....(2)

Subtracting (1) From (2), we get :

Temp, on 5th day  - Temp on 1st day  = 8 degrees.

Let the temperatures on 1st and 5th days be 7x and 8x degrees respectively.

Then, 8x - 7x = 8 or x = 8.

Temperature on the 5th day = 8x = 64 degrees.

Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares
13.5*10000m2=135000m2 
Let altitude = x metres  and  base = 3x metres.
Then, 12*3x*x=135000⇒x2=90000⇒x=300 

Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.

Q:

A and B can do a piece of work in 40 and 50 days. If they work at it an alternate days with A beginning in how many days, the work will be finished ?

Answer

(A+B)'s two days work = 140+150=9200 


 


Evidently, the work done by A and B duing 22 pairs of days 


 


 i.e in 44 days = 22×9200=198200 


 


Remaining work = 1-198200= 1/100


 


 Now on 45th day A will have the turn to do 1/100 of the work and this work A will do in 40×1100=25


 


 Therefore,  Total time taken = 4425daya
