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. 54 times efficient as existing workers.

 Actual number of workers = 505/4 = 40 men

 Required percent = 40100*100 = 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

Let speeds of P, Q & R be P, Q & R km/hr respectively.

Thus 4P = 2R

PR=12 . (1)

= 5Q = 4R = QR=45 . (2)

From (1) & (2),

P/RQ/R=1/24/5

PQ=58

Since M is the midpoint of side PQ, the length of MQ is 2.

Hence, the area of? MQR = 1 2 * 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 n = the number of terms.

Then,  25716=n2 [17+ (1238)]=n2*458

40716=37n16 n=40737=11

Let d be the common difference.

Then 1238  (= the eleventh term) = 17 + 10d

10d=123817=2358

d=2358*10=4716

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

(0.7A+B)11= (0.3A+B)7

1.6A = 2B  A5=B4

Volume of A : B = 5 : 4.
