Number of pages typed by Adam in 1 hour = 36/6 = 6
Number of pages typed by Smith in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (6 + 8) = 14
Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (120 * 1/14) = 847 = 8 hrs 34 min.

We know that 1 yard = 3 feet. 

A yardstick which is used for measurement has 3 feet long but it cannot walk.

Let 'd' be the distance between A and B
K -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hours
L -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hours
We know that, 10 min = 1/6 hours
Thus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes.
=> 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6
=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6
=> 4d/90 = 1/6
Thus,
d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km.

hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.

Given ratio of number of sheep and horses = 4 : 15
Let number of sheep and horses are 4k and 15k
Number of horses = 13200/110 = 120
Now 15K = 120 and k = 8
Number of sheep = 4k = (4 x 8) = 32

The servant worked for 9 days instead of 12 days, he should receive 9/12 of his total payment

Let the price of 1 shirt be Rs. S 

i.e., 3/4 (400 + S).

However, the question states that the servant receive Rs. 280 + S where S is the price of the shirt.

By equating the two equations we get 3/4 (400 + S) = 280 + S.

Therefore, Price of the shirt S = Rs. 80.

1/K + 1/L + 1/M = 1/8 (Given)
Also given that K = 2L and L = 2M
=> 1/2L + 1/L + 2/L = 1/8
=> (1 + 2 + 4)/2L = 1/8
=> 2L/7 = 8
=> L = 28 hours.

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 = 300×1×4100 = Rs. 12 

Interest on Rs.540 lent to B for 1 year = 540×6×1100 = 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 

Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F' m3/min

Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10) m3/min

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 2400F - 2400F+10= 8 \\ ⇒ 2400 F+10-FF(F+10) =8 \\ ⇒ F2 + 10F - 3000 = 0 \\ ⇒ F = 50 m3/min \end{gathered}$$
