total work = 6*(3w+2m)
now,
{6(3w + 2m) / 9w} - {6(3w+2m)/3m} =5
= 1/3 +2m/9w - w/m - 2/3 =5/6
let m/w=p
=> 2p/9 - 1/p =7/6
=>4p^2 -21p - 18 =0
=> (4p+3)(p-6) =0 => p=6 =m/w => exceed by 5 times
now,
{6(3w + 2m) / 9w} - {6(3w+2m)/3m} =5
= 1/3 +2m/9w - w/m - 2/3 =5/6
let m/w=p
=> 2p/9 - 1/p =7/6

In a triangle ABC, let E be a point on AB such that AE : EB = 1 : 3, D is a point on B C such that BD : DC = 4 : 1, and F is a point on ED joined such that EF : FD = 5 : 1. Let G be a point on AC. Show that
AG : GC = 4 : 1 and BF : FG = 17 : 7.
AG : GC = 4 : 1 and BF : FG = 17 : 7.

1/b - 1/(b+c) = 3 (from 1st condition)

Q.3 It takes six days for three woman and two men working together to
complete a work. Three men would do the same work five days sooner
than nine woman. How many times does the output of a man exceed that
of a woman?

It has to be zero solutions.
n^2 + 3n + 5 = n^2 + 3n - 28 + 33 = (n - 4)(n+7) + 33
Now (n + 7) - (n - 4) = 11. It implies that either of them is a multiple of 11 or not a multiple of 11.
In the former case (n-4)*(n+7) is a multiple of 121 but 33 is not a multiple of 121. So no such case...

(a^13+b^13+c^13+d^13) mod (a+b+c+d) is not correct, it will be correct only if a, b, c, d are in AP
(a + b + c + d)^13 - (a + b + c + d) is always divisible by 13 ............(1)
x^13 - x is always divisible by 13So, (a^13 + b^13 + c^13 + d^13) - (a + b + c + d) is divisible by 13 ........
(a + b + c + d)^13 - (a + b + c + d) is always divisible by 13 ............(1)

find out root of 603000it is 776.xxx
so all numbers in the subset should be greater than 776 (as 776 is not member of set A, but 780 is and 773*780 < 603000)
so elements in subset will be 780 787 794 801 . . . 1004=> (1004 - 780)/7 +1 = 33 elements

Q.2 Two men and a women are entrusted with a task. The second man needs three hours more to cope with the job than the second man and the woman would need working together. The first man, working alone, would need as much time as the second man and the woman working together. The first man, working alone, would spend eight hours less than the double period of time the second man would spend working alone. How much time would the two men and the women need to complete the task if they all worked together?

so no of elements in set S with value more than or equal to 780 is 32.. hence the answer.
