Let the pipe B be closed after 'K' minutes.

30/16 - K/24 = 1 => K/24 = 30/16 - 1 = 14/16

=> K = 14/16 x 24 = 21 min.

Here the ratio of mixtures( i.e milk , water) doesnot matter. But the important point is that whether the total amount ( either pure or mixture ) being transferred is equal or not.Since the total amount ( i.e 5 cups) being transferred from each one to another , hence A =B.

A                   B                 C

3x                 4x                5x 

(3x+x)          2x               (5x+x)         (B Gives 1/4 to A and 1/4 to C) 

=4x              2x                 6x 

(4x+x)          2x                 5x              ( C Gives 1/6 to A) 

=5x              2x                 5x

Therefore, 5 : 2 : 5

we can assume that Amar join into business after x months. So Amar money was invest into  (12 – x ) months.

76000×1257000×(12-x)=21

--> 912000 = 114000 ( 12 – x ) = 114 ( 12 – x ) = 912

--> x = 4

After 4 months amar join the business.

1/2:1/3:1/4 = 6:4:3

As the difference is 3

=> 3/13x2600 = 600

We have to rearrange the equation to make R the subject.

Start by cross multiplying by (r + R); V (r + R) = 12R

Multiply out the bracket Vr + VR = 12R

We know that 40% = 25

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

25 x 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

We know that (35% of 180 = 180% of 35) & 180% = 95

25 x 265 + 95 x 35 = 50% ?

106 + 63 = 50% ?

?= 2 x 169 = 338.
