A gardener had a number of shrubs to plant in rows . At first he tried to plant 8, then 12 and then 16 in a row but he always had 3 shrubs left with him . On trying 7 shrubs he was left with none.Find the total number of shrubs.

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans 3. L.C.M of 8,12,16 = 48

Now, 48 x 1 + 3 = 51 - not divisible by 7

48 x 2 + 3 = 99 - not divisible by 7

48 x 3 + 3 = 147 - not divisible by 7

Required number = 147

Last Answer : Answer: D  Explanation: Let be moves 2 km downstream in x Hours Then in speed downstream = 2/x kmph Speed in upstream = 1.5/x kmph ==> 24/2/X + 24/1.5/X = 7 12x+16x=7 Therefore x=1/4 Speed in downstream = 8 Kmph Speed in upstream = 6 Kmph Then the Rate of stream = 1/2 (8 - 6) = 1 Kmph

Description : X, Y , Z are three towns on a lake which flows uniformly. Y is equidistant from X and Z. A man rows from X to Y and returns in 20hrs. He can row from X to Z in 8 hr. The ratio of speed of the man in still water to the speed of the current is. A) 3:5 B) 5:3 C) 2:3 D) None of these

Last Answer : ANSWER: A Explanation: Let the speed of man in still water = x km/hr Speed of the current = y km/hr Speed of downstream = (x+ y) km/hr Speed of upstream = ( x - y) km/hr Let the lake be flowing from X to Z and  xy = yz a ... y = 1 / 4  4x - 4y = x + y  3x = 5y x / y = 3 / 5 x : y = 3 : 5
