39 persons can repair a road in 12 days, working 5 hours a day. In how many days will 30 persons, working 6 hours a day, complete the work?
Let the required number of days be x.
Less persons, More days (Indirect Proportion)
More working hours per day, Less days (Indirect Proportion)
Persons30:39Working hours/day6:5⋮⋮ 12:x
=> 30 * 6 * x = 39 * 5 * 12
=> x= 13

The greatest number which on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6 and 5 respectively, is:
Required number = H.C.F. of (1657 - 6) and (2037 - 5)
= H.C.F. of 1651 and 2032 = 127.
At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but,not together?
When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
5 min spaces are gained in 6055*5 min = 5511min
so, Required time = 5511 min past 7
On what dates of April, 2001 did Wednesday fall?
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.
In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.
What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following question?
115 ÷ 5 + 12 × 6 = ? + 64 ÷ 4 - 35
As per the BODMAS rule, the priority in which the operations should be done is:
Note: Addition and subtraction can be treated on same priority (from left to right) when they are in consecutive order.
(115/5) + 12 × 6 = ? + (64/4) – 35 23 + 72 = ? + 16 – 35 95 = ? - 19 95+19 = ? ? = 114
Find the next number in the number series?
6, 6, 9, 18, 45, ?
The given number series is 6, 6, 9, 18, 45, ?
Here the series follows a pattern that,
6
6 x 1 = 6
6 x 1.5 = 9
9 x 2 = 18
18 x 2.5 = 45
45 x 3 = 135
Hence, the next number in the given number series is 135.
Simplify : 5x - 2x(x-1)
Find the next number in the given series ?
3, 7, 6, 5, 9, 3, 12, 1, 15, . . .
3, 7, 6, 5, 9, 3, 12, 1, 15, ... has two different series
1) 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.....
2) 7, 5, 3, 1, .....
-1 is the next number.
