1 Answer

Answer :

Given: 6 men and 10 women can finish making pots in 8 days 4 men and 6 women can finish it in 12 days To find: Time taken by the one man alone from that of one woman alone to finish the work Solution:Let the work done by 1 man in 1 day = 1/xLet the work done by 1 woman in 1 day =  1/y According to the question: 6 men and 10 women can finish making pots in 8 days So,6/x + 10/y = 1/8 -------------(I) 4 men and 6 women can finish it in 12 days. So,4/x + 6/y = 1/12 --------(II) Take 1/x = M and 1/y = W On solving the equation (I) and (II) we get:M=1/48 , W= 0 So, x = 48Then time taken by the one man alone from that of one woman alone to finish the work is 48 days

Last Answer : Work done by A in one day = 1/5 and work done by B in one day = 1/7 They are working alternately. Therefore, Work done in first two day = (1/5 + 1/7) = 12/35 Work done in first four day = 24/35 Work done in ... = 4/35/1/7 = 4/5 of the day. Therefore Total days taken = 5 + 4/5 = 29/5 days Answer: b)

Description : If the area of the quadrilateral whose angular points A, B, C, D taken in order are (1, 2), (–5, 6), (7, – 4) and (–2, k) be zero, -Maths 9th

Last Answer : (d) 1 : 16Gvien \(rac{AD}{AB}=rac{1}{4}\) ⇒ \(rac{AD}{DB}=rac{1}{3}\),i.e., D divides AB internally in the ratio 1 : 3. ∴ Co-odinates of D are\(\bigg(rac{1+12}{1+3},rac{5+18}{1+3}\bigg)\)i.e.,\(\ ... {Area of}\,\Delta{ADE}}{ ext{Area of}\,\Delta{ABC}}\) = \(rac{rac{15}{32}}{rac{15}{2}}\) = 1 : 16.
