4 men can develop a mobile app in 3 days. 3 women can develop the same app in 6 days, whereas 6 boys can develop it in 4 days. 3 men and 6 boys worked together for 1 day. If only women were to finish the remaining work in 1 day, how many women would be required?
Let's first find the work done by each group in one day, which we can call their work rate. We'll denote the total work to develop the app as 1 unit of work. - 4 men can develop the app in 3 days, so their work rate is \( \frac{1}{3 \times 4} = \frac{1}{12} \) of the work per day per man. - 3 womenRead more
Let’s first find the work done by each group in one day, which we can call their work rate. We’ll denote the total work to develop the app as 1 unit of work.
– 4 men can develop the app in 3 days, so their work rate is \( \frac{1}{3 \times 4} = \frac{1}{12} \) of the work per day per man.
– 3 women can develop the app in 6 days, so their work rate is \( \frac{1}{6 \times 3} = \frac{1}{18} \) of the work per day per woman.
– 6 boys can develop the app in 4 days, so their work rate is \( \frac{1}{4 \times 6} = \frac{1}{24} \) of the work per day per boy.
Now, 3 men and 6 boys worked together for 1 day. The work done by them in 1 day is:
\[ 3 \times \frac{1}{12} + 6 \times \frac{1}{24} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ of the work} \]
So, half of the work is remaining.
If only women are to finish the remaining half of the work in 1 day, the number of women required is:
\[ \text{Number of women} = \frac{\text{Remaining work}}{\text{Work rate of one woman}} = \frac{1/2}{1/18} = 9 \text{ women} \]
Therefore, 9 women would be required to finish the remaining work in 1 day.
See lessIf the ratio of simple interest and principal is 8 ∶ 25/2 and rate of interest is equal to the time invested then find the time of investment?
Let's denote the simple interest as \(SI\), the principal as \(P\), the rate of interest as \(R\) (in % per annum), and the time of investment as \(T\) (in years). According to the given information, the ratio of simple interest to principal is \(8 : \frac{25}{2}\), which can be simplified to \(16 :Read more
Let’s denote the simple interest as \(SI\), the principal as \(P\), the rate of interest as \(R\) (in % per annum), and the time of investment as \(T\) (in years).
According to the given information, the ratio of simple interest to principal is \(8 : \frac{25}{2}\), which can be simplified to \(16 : 25\). So, we can write:
\[ \frac{SI}{P} = \frac{16}{25} \]
We also know that the rate of interest is equal to the time invested, so \(R = T\).
The formula for simple interest is:
\[ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]
Substituting \(R = T\) and rearranging the formula, we get:
\[ T^2 = \frac{100 \times SI}{P} \]
Using the ratio \(\frac{SI}{P} = \frac{16}{25}\), we can substitute for \(\frac{SI}{P}\) in the equation:
\[ T^2 = \frac{100 \times 16}{25} \]
Simplifying:
\[ T^2 = \frac{1600}{25} \]
\[ T^2 = 64 \]
Taking the square root of both sides:
\[ T = 8 \text{ years} \]
Therefore, the time of investment is 8 years.

Let's denote the weight of water in the fresh fruits as \(W_f\) kg and the total weight of the fresh fruits as \(F\) kg. According to the given information, the ratio of the quantity of water in fresh fruits to that of dry fruits is 7:2. This means that for every 7 kg of water in fresh fruits, thereRead more
Let’s denote the weight of water in the fresh fruits as \(W_f\) kg and the total weight of the fresh fruits as \(F\) kg.
According to the given information, the ratio of the quantity of water in fresh fruits to that of dry fruits is 7:2. This means that for every 7 kg of water in fresh fruits, there are 2 kg of water in dry fruits.
We know that 400 kg of dry fruits contain 50 kg of water. Using the given ratio, we can find the weight of water in the fresh fruits:
\[ \frac{W_f}{50 \text{ kg}} = \frac{7}{2} \]
Solving for \(W_f\):
\[ W_f = 50 \text{ kg} \times \frac{7}{2} = 175 \text{ kg} \]
Therefore, the weight of the water in the same fruits when they were fresh is 175 kg.
See lessThere are 45 personnel in an army camp. If the number of personnel increases by 9, the expenses of mess increase by Rs. 54 per day, while the average expenditure per person diminishes by 1. Find the original expenditure of the mess.
Let's denote the original expenditure of the mess as \(E\) rupees per day and the original average expenditure per person as \(A\) rupees per person per day. According to the given information: - Original number of personnel = 45 - New number of personnel = 45 + 9 = 54 - Increase in expenses of messRead more
Let’s denote the original expenditure of the mess as \(E\) rupees per day and the original average expenditure per person as \(A\) rupees per person per day.
According to the given information:
– Original number of personnel = 45
– New number of personnel = 45 + 9 = 54
– Increase in expenses of mess = Rs. 54 per day
– Decrease in average expenditure per person = Rs. 1 per person per day
Using the definition of average expenditure per person, we can write the following equations for the original and new scenarios:
1. Original scenario:
\[ A = \frac{E}{45} \]
2. New scenario:
\[ A – 1 = \frac{E + 54}{54} \]
From equation (1), we can express \(E\) in terms of \(A\):
\[ E = 45A \]
Substituting \(E\) in equation (2):
\[ A – 1 = \frac{45A + 54}{54} \]
Multiplying through by 54:
\[ 54A – 54 = 45A + 54 \]
Rearranging:
\[ 9A = 108 \]
\[ A = 12 \]
Now, using the value of \(A\) to find \(E\):
\[ E = 45A = 45 \times 12 = 540 \]
Therefore, the original expenditure of the mess is Rs. 540 per day.
See less\[ \text { If } 2^{2 x-1}=\frac{1}{8^{x-3}} \text {, then the value of } x \text { is } \]
We can rewrite the equation \(2^{2x - 1} = \frac{1}{8^{x - 3}}\) using the properties of exponents: \[2^{2x - 1} = 2^{-3(x - 3)}\] This is because \(8 = 2^3\), so \(8^{x - 3} = (2^3)^{x - 3} = 2^{3(x - 3)}\). Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other: \[2x - 1 = -3(xRead more
We can rewrite the equation \(2^{2x – 1} = \frac{1}{8^{x – 3}}\) using the properties of exponents:
\[2^{2x – 1} = 2^{-3(x – 3)}\]
This is because \(8 = 2^3\), so \(8^{x – 3} = (2^3)^{x – 3} = 2^{3(x – 3)}\).
Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:
\[2x – 1 = -3(x – 3)\]
Expanding:
\[2x – 1 = -3x + 9\]
Adding \(3x\) to both sides and adding 1 to both sides:
\[5x = 10\]
Dividing both sides by 5:
\[x = 2\]
Therefore, the value of \(x\) is 2.

To find the length of the ladder, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, as the ladder, the wall, and the ground form a right-angled triangle.
Let’s denote:
– The length of the ladder as \(L\).
– The distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall as 2.5 m.
– The height of the window above the ground as 6 m.
According to the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
L^2 = 6^2 + 2.5^2
\]
\[
L^2 = 36 + 6.25
\]
\[
L^2 = 42.25
\]
\[
L = \sqrt{42.25}
\]
\[
L = 6.5 \text{ m}
\]
Therefore, the length of the ladder is 6.5 meters.
See lessA balloon is connected to a meteorological station by a cable of length 200 m, inclined at 60° to the horizontal. Find the height of the balloon from the ground. Assume that there is no slack in the cable.
To find the height of the balloon from the ground, we can use trigonometry. We know that the cable is inclined at a 60° angle to the horizontal and has a length of 200 m. The height of the balloon (opposite side) can be found using the sine function: \[ \sin(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite sideRead more
To find the height of the balloon from the ground, we can use trigonometry. We know that the cable is inclined at a 60° angle to the horizontal and has a length of 200 m.
The height of the balloon (opposite side) can be found using the sine function:
\[
\sin(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
\]
In this case:
\[
\sin(60°) = \frac{\text{height}}{200 \text{ m}}
\]
Solving for the height:
\[
\text{height} = 200 \text{ m} \times \sin(60°)
\]
The value of \(\sin(60°)\) is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), so:
\[
\text{height} = 200 \text{ m} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 100\sqrt{3} \text{ m}
\]
Therefore, the height of the balloon from the ground is \(100\sqrt{3}\) meters.
See lessA sum of money at compound interest amounts to fifth-hold itself in 7 years. In how many years will it be 25 times itself?
Let's denote the principal amount as \(P\), the rate of compound interest as \(r\), and the number of years as \(n\). According to the given information, the amount becomes fivefold in 7 years.

Let’s denote the principal amount as \(P\), the rate of compound interest as \(r\), and the number of years as \(n\).
According to the given information, the amount becomes fivefold in 7 years. Therefore, we can write the compound interest formula as follows:
\[ A = P(1 + r)^n \]
For the amount to be fivefold:
\[ 5P = P(1 + r)^7 \]
Simplifying:
\[ (1 + r)^7 = 5 \]
Now, we need to find in how many years the amount will be 25 times itself. We can set up a similar equation:
\[ 25P = P(1 + r)^n \]
\[ (1 + r)^n = 25 \]
We know that \((1 + r)^7 = 5\), so we can express 25 in terms of 5:
\[ (1 + r)^n = 5^2 \]
\[ (1 + r)^n = ((1 + r)^7)^2 \]
\[ (1 + r)^n = (1 + r)^{14} \]
Thus, we can see that \(n = 14\).
Therefore, it will take 14 years for the sum of money to become 25 times itself at the same rate of compound interest.
See less\[ \text { if } \cot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\sqrt{3}, \text { then the value of } \sin \theta-\cos \theta=? \]
Given: \[ \cot \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{3} \] We can use the cofunction identity \(\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = \tan(x)\) to rewrite the given equation: \[ \tan\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{3} \] Now, we know that \(\tan(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \sqrt{3}\), so: \[ \frac{\thRead more
Given:
\[
\cot \left(\frac{\pi}{2} – \frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{3}
\]
We can use the cofunction identity \(\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} – x) = \tan(x)\) to rewrite the given equation:
\[
\tan\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{3}
\]
Now, we know that \(\tan(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \sqrt{3}\), so:
\[
\frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{\pi}{3}
\]
Thus:
\[
\theta = \frac{2\pi}{3}
\]
Now, we can find the value of \(\sin \theta – \cos \theta\):
\[
\sin \theta – \cos \theta = \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) – \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)
\]
Using the values of sine and cosine for \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\):
\[
\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \quad \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = -\frac{1}{2}
\]
So:
\[
\sin \theta – \cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} – \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2}
\]
Therefore, the value of \(\sin \theta – \cos \theta\) is \(\frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2}\).
