A ball rolls on the floor of a rectangular room of base 8 m x 5 m. It deflects after hitting the wall of the room. The ball starts rolling from one corner of the room and moves at an angle of 45o towards the opposite side of the room. Everytime after hitting, it gets deflected such that its line of travel is perpendicular to its previous path. Find, after how many minimum deflections, it will reach any corner of the room.

Three vessels A, B and C of capacity 120 litres each contain a mixture of alcohol and spirit. Vessel A contains 100 litres of the mixture with 65% alcohol. Vessel B has 70% alcohol and this vessel is half empty. The vessel C has 80 litres of mixture out of which 20 litres is spirit. Now, the mixture from vessel A is poured into vessel B until vessel B is completely filled. Then the mixture from vessel B is poured into vessel C until C is completely filled. Now the entire mixture from vessel C is poured into the vessels A and B. Find the ratio of alcohol in vessels A and B.

any short hand approach for such question please.

A can complete a piece of work in 'a' days by working 'm' hrs per day, and B can complete the same work in 'b' days by working 'n' hrs per day. If each of them reduces his working hours per day by 4 hrs, each of them would take 5 days more to finish the job (a, b, m and n are distinct natural numbers and m, n less than 16.

How long would it take to complete the work, if A and B started working together such that A worked for 'm' hrs per day and B worked for 'n' hrs per day?
