Q:

A can build a wall in 16 days while B can destroy it in 8 days. A worked for 5 days. Then B joined with A for the next 2 days. Find in how many days could A build the remaining wall ?

A) 12 days B) 14 days
C) 13 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13 days

Explanation:

Now, Total work = LCM(16, 8) = 48

A's one day work = + 48/16 = + 3

B's one day work = - 48/8 = -6

Given A worked for 5 days to build the wall => 5 days work = 5 x 3 = + 15

2days B joined with A in working = 2(3 - 6) = - 6

Remaining Work of building wall = 48 - (15 - 6) = 39

Now this remaining work will be done by A in = 39/3 = 13 days.

C) FCH2COOH D) ICH2COOH
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) FCH2COOH

Explanation:

Which_of_the_following_is_the_strongest_acid1552992978.jpg image

FCH2COOH is the strongest acid out of all.

Since the electron withdrawing inductive effect (-I effect) of the halogens decreases in the order of F>Cl> Br> I , therefore the acidic strength of the α- halo acids decreases in the same order.

 

FCH2COOH  >  ClCH2COOH   >   BrCH2COOH   >   ICH2COOH.
