Answer : 3. "2h "
Explanation :
Let's use the information given to calculate Akhil's usual speed first.
We know that Akhil takes 30 minutes (0.5 hours) extra to cover a distance of 150 km when he drives 10 km/h slower than his usual speed.
Let "S" be Akhil's usual speed in km/h. So, his slower speed would be (S - 10) km/h.
The time taken to cover a distance is equal to the distance divided by the speed: Time = Distance / Speed
At his usual speed, it takes him: Time at usual speed = 150 km / S hours
At the slower speed, it takes him: Time at slower speed = 150 km / (S - 10) hours
The difference in time between these two scenarios is 0.5 hours (30 minutes): Time at slower speed - Time at usual speed = 0.5 hours
Now, we can set up the equation and solve for S:
(150 km / (S - 10)) - (150 km / S) = 0.5
To solve this equation, we'll first get a common denominator: [150S - 150(S - 10)] / [S(S - 10)] = 0.5
Now, simplify and solve for S: [150S - 150S + 1500] / [S(S - 10)] = 0.5
1500 / [S(S - 10)] = 0.5
Now, cross-multiply: 2 * 1500 = S(S - 10)
3000 = S^2 - 10S
S^2 - 10S - 3000 = 0
Now, we can solve this quadratic equation for S using the quadratic formula:
S = [-(-10) ± √((-10)^2 - 4(1)(-3000))] / (2(1))
S = [10 ± √(100 + 12000)] / 2
S = [10 ± √12100] / 2
S = [10 ± 110] / 2
Now, we have two possible values for S, but we'll take the positive one because speed cannot be negative:
S = (10 + 110) / 2 = 120/2 = 60 km/h
So, Akhil's usual speed is 60 km/h.
Now, we want to find out how much time he will take to drive 90 km when he drives 15 km/h slower than his usual speed, which would be (60 - 15) = 45 km/h.
Time = Distance / Speed Time = 90 km / 45 km/h = 2 hours
Akhil will take 2 hours to drive 90 km when he drives 15 km/h slower than his usual speed.
Q: A and B can do a work together in 18 days. A is three times as efficient as B. In how many days can B alone complete the work?

Answer : 2. "72 days"
Explanation :
Let's denote the work rate of A as "A" and the work rate of B as "B." We know that A is three times as efficient as B, so we can write:
A = 3B
Now, we also know that A and B can do a work together in 18 days. The work rate of A and B combined is the sum of their individual work rates, which can be represented as:
A + B
Since they complete the work in 18 days together, we can write:
(A + B) = 1/18
Now, we want to find how long it would take B alone to complete the work. Let's denote that time as "x" days. The work rate of B alone would be:
B (work rate of B alone) = 1/x
Now, we have two equations:
A = 3B
(A + B) = 1/18
We can substitute the value of A from the first equation into the second equation:
(3B + B) = 1/18
Combine like terms:
4B = 1/18
Now, isolate B by dividing both sides by 4:
B = (1/18) / 4
B = 1/72
So, B's work rate is 1/72 of the work per day. To find how many days B alone can complete the work, take the reciprocal of B's work rate:
x (number of days for B alone) = 1 / (1/72)
x = 72
Therefore, it would take B alone 72 days to complete the work.
Q: A alone can do a piece of work in 15 days, while B alone can do it in 20 days. They work together for 6 days and the rest of the work is done by C in 6 days. If they get Rs 800 for the whole work, how should they divide the money?

Answer : 1. "Rs. 320, Rs. 240 and Rs. 240"
Explanation :
Let's break down the problem step by step:
- A can complete the work in 15 days, so his daily work rate is 1/15 of the work per day.
- B can complete the work in 20 days, so his daily work rate is 1/20 of the work per day.
- A and B work together for 6 days. In these 6 days, their combined work rate is (1/15 + 1/20) = (4/60 + 3/60) = 7/60 of the work per day.
- In 6 days, they complete (6 * 7/60) = 42/60 of the work, which simplifies to 7/10 of the work.
Now, let C complete the remaining 3/10 of the work in 6 days. We can calculate C's daily work rate:
C's daily work rate = Work done by C in 6 days / 6 C's daily work rate = (3/10) / 6 C's daily work rate = 1/20 of the work per day.
Now, let's calculate the total amount earned by each worker:
A's share: A worked for 6 days at a rate of 1/15 of the work per day, so he completed (6 * 1/15) = 2/5 of the work. A's share of the money is (2/5) * Rs 800 = Rs 320.
B's share: B worked for 6 days at a rate of 1/20 of the work per day, so he completed (6 * 1/20) = 3/10 of the work. B's share of the money is (3/10) * Rs 800 = Rs 240.
C's share: C worked for 6 days at a rate of 1/20 of the work per day, so he completed (6 * 1/20) = 3/10 of the work. C's share of the money is (3/10) * Rs 800 = Rs 240.
Now, to check if the total amount is correct, you can add up their individual shares:
Rs 320 (A) + Rs 240 (B) + Rs 240 (C) = Rs 800
So, they should divide the money as follows:
- A gets Rs 320.
- B gets Rs 240.
- C gets Rs 240.
