8Q: Five farmers have 7,9,11,13 & 14 apple trees respectively in their orchards. Last year each of them discovered that every tree in their own orchard yields exactly the same number of apples. Further, if the 3rd farmer gives one apple to the 1st and the 5th gives 3 to each of the 2nd & d 4th, they would all exactly have the same number of apples, what were the yields per tree in the orchards of the 3rd & 4th farmers ? 12297 05b5cc70ee4d2b4197774f38a

Answer : 4. "11 & 9"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 11 & 9 Explanation: Let the number of apples in each tree of the 5 farmers be a, b, c, d,e respectively. Therefore total no of apples are 7a, 9b, 11c, 13d and 14e respectively. Given, 7a+1 = 9b+3 = 11c-1 = 13d+3 = 14e-6 = x 9b+3 = 13d+3===> 9b = 13dso take b = 13 and d = 9 9b+3 = 9*13+3 = 120 ie, x=120 substituting7a+1 = 1207a = 119a = 17 11c-1 = 12011c = 121c=11 14e-6 = 12014e = 126e = 9 Yields per tree in the orchards of d 3rd & 4th farmers= 11,9

Answer : 2. "Father = 40; Son =24"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Father = 40; Son =24 Explanation: Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]We get 6P = 10Q,Substitute value for Q,6P = 10(64 - P),Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
Q: There is an empty reservoir whose capacity is 30 litres. There is an inlet pipe which fills at 5 L/min and there is an outlet pipe which empties at 4 L/min. Both the pipes function alternately for 1 minute. Assuming that the inlet pipe is the first one to function, how much time will it take for the reservoir to be filled up to its capacity? 11236 05b5cc77ae4d2b4197775013d

Answer : 3. "51 min"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 51 min Explanation: The work to be done = Capacity of reservoir = 30 litres. 1st Minute ---> inlet pipe opened ---> 5 lit filled 2nd minute ---> inlet pipe closed; outlet pipe opened ---> 4 lit emptied In 2 minutes (5 litres - 4 litres = 1lit) is filled into the reservoir. It takes 2 minutes to fill 1lit ---> it takes 50 minutes to fill 25 litres into the reservoir. In the 51st minute inlet pipe is opened and the reservoir is filled.
