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 : 1. "25"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 25 Explanation: (A+B+C) do 1 work in 10 days. So (A+B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10 and as they work together for 4 days so workdone by them in 4 days=4/10=2/5 Remaining work=1-2/5=3/5 (B+C) take 10 more days to complete 3/5 work. So( B+C)'s 1 day work=3/50 Now A'S 1 day work=(A+B+C)'s 1 day work - (B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10-3/50=1/25 A does 1/25 work in in 1 day Therefore 1 work in 25 days.
