Q:

Can any one of you give me the right answer for this riddle?

 

Answer

The answer is letter ‘f’.


 


1 year = 12 months (February = 1 `f`, comes only once in the spelling of all the months)


1 month = 4 weeks (first, fourth = 2 f’s, comes twice in a month)


1 week = 7 days (first, fourth, fifth = 4 f`s, comes 4 times in a week)


1 day = 24 hours (four, five, fourteen, fifteen, twenty-four= 6 f’s, comes 6 times in a day

Q:

If y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y then find z : y : x ?

A) 1:2:3 B) 3:2:4
C) 4:3:2 D) 2:3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3:2:4

Explanation:

Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y
yz = xy + x2 - yz - xz ....(1)
Also xy = yx-z x2 -xz = y2 ....(2)
Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + y2
2yz = xy + y2
2z = x + y
Only option (B) satisfies the equation.
