et the present ages be X, Y, and Z years (X – 5): (Y – 5): (Z – 5) = 2 : 4 : 5 and taking pairwise values. Substitute these values in the equation
2a + 4a + 5a = x + y + z – 15
11a = 165
a = 15
Five years ago ages were 30, 60, 75
Present ages are 35, 65, 80.

Let the number of men be 100.
Then, Men * Time = Work
100 * 1 = 100 unit
Amount of work increased by 50%.
So, New work = 150 unit
as the planned time remains same i.e. 1
Then men required will be 150 i.e., 50 more workers but since new workers are 25% more efficient i.e. times efficient as existing workers.
Actual number of workers = = 40 men
Required percent = = 40%

Average salary of each temporary employee is 600.
1000 temporary employee,
Total salary = 6,00,000
let teaching departement = Rs. x / staff and cleaning department salary = x + 100
Now, 600 (x + 100) + 400 (x) = 6,00,000
x=540
Hence answer, x+100= 540+100=640

We have (A – 20) = 0.4 (B + 20), i.e. A – 0.4B = 28
And (B – 40) = 0.4 (A + 40), i.e. B – 0.4A = 56
Solving we get, A = Rs. 60

Since M is the midpoint of side PQ, the length of MQ is 2.
Hence, the area of? MQR = * 2 * 4 = 4.
Also area of? NSR = 4. Thus, the unshaded area of the figure = 4 + 4 = 8.
Hence, the area of quadrilateral PMRN
= Area of the square PQRS – The unshaded area of the figure
= 16 – 8 = 8

Let oil in containers be A & B.
After 1st operation
Container A = 0.4 A
Container B = 0.6 A + B
After 2nd operation
Container A = 0.4 A + 0.3 A + 0.5 B
Container B = 0.3 A + 0.5 B
=
1.6A = 2B
Volume of A : B = 5 : 4.
