Q:

Application of Inverse Proportion

If 20 persons can do a piece of work in 7 days then calculate the number of persons require to complete the work in 28 days

Answer

Number of persons * days = work

20 * 7 = 140 man- days

Now, x * 28 = 140 men- days

=> x =5

Therefore in second case the required number of person is 5.

Second method:

Since work is constant, therefore M1 x D1= M2 x D2

20 x 7 = M2 x 28

=> M2 = 5

Q:

A person lends Rs. 300 to A at 4% and Rs.540 to B at 6% for the same time. if the total amount that he gets at the end is Rs. 1032. What is the time?

Answer

Money lent to A+B = (300 + 540) = Rs. 840

Amount received = Rs. 1032

Interest received = Rs. 1032 - Rs.840 = Rs. 192

Interest on Rs. 300 lent to A for 1 year = $\frac{300 \times 1 \times 4}{100}$ = Rs. 12

Interest on Rs.540 lent to B for 1 year = $\frac{540 \times 6 \times 1}{100}$ = Rs. 36

Total yearly interest = Rs.(12+36) = Rs.48

If interest is Rs. 48, time = 1 year

If interest is Rs. 192, time = 192/48 = 4 years

Q:

The capacity of a tank is 2400 $m^{3}$ . A pump can be used both for filling and emptying the tank. The emptying capacity of the pump is 10 $m^{3}$ /minute higher than its filling capacity. And also, the pump needs 8 minutes less to empty the tank than to fill it. Find the filling capacity of the pump.

A) 46 cub.m/min	B) 44 cub.m/min
C) 48 cub.m/min	D) 50 cub.m/min

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 cub.m/min

Explanation:

Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F' $m^{3} / \min$

Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10) $m^{3} / \min$

From the given data,

$\frac{2400}{F} - \frac{2400}{F + 10} = 8 \Rightarrow 2400 [\frac{F + 10 - F}{F (F + 10)}] = 8 \Rightarrow F^{2} + 10 F - 3000 = 0 \Rightarrow F = 50 m^{3} / \min$
