Gold coins = 18000 , Silver coins = 9600 , Bronze coins = 3600

Find a number which exactly divide all these numbers 

That is HCF of 18000, 9600& 3600 

All the value has 00 at end so the factor will also have 00.

HCF for 180, 96 & 36.

Factors of  

180 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 2

96 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 

36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 

Common factors are 2x2×3=12

 Therefore, Actual HCF is 1200

Gold Coins 18000/1200 will be in 15 rooms

Silver Coins 9600/1200 will be in 8 rooms

Bronze Coins 3600/1200 will be in 3 rooms

Total rooms will be (15+8+3)  =  26 rooms.

20 large cakes will require the equivalent of 10 helpers working for one hour. 700 small cakes will require the equivalent of 20 helpers working for one hour. This means if only one hour were available we would need 30 helpers. But since three hours are available we can use 10 helpers.

They have to be arranged in the following way :

                                                                    L  T  L  T  L  T  L  T  L

The 5 lions should be arranged in the 5 places marked ‘L’.

This can be done in 5! ways.

The 4 tigers should be in the 4 places marked ‘T’.

This can be done in 4! ways.

Therefore, the lions and the tigers can be arranged in 5!´ 4! ways = 2880 ways.

Let x and y be the two parts of 96.

x/7 = y/9 => x:y = 7:9

=> The smallest part is = 7/16 x 96 = 42.

let each wheel make x revolutions per sec. Then2π*72*x+2π*7*x*10=19802*227*72*x+2*227*72*x=198

 66x=198 

distance moved by smaller wheel in 3 revolutions 

=2*227*72*3=66cm 

speed of smaller wheel = 663 m/s = 22m/s
