i think we shld consider the displacement of center of the two wheels. it would be same.
in short, 40(x+5) = 48x
x = 25 revolutions
distance travelled = 48*25 = 1200 ft

let n1 be rev for front wheel and n2 be the rev for back wheel.
Also, distance traveled by both wheels should be equal.

Then, n1*C1 = n2*C2

also n2 = n1-5

substituting we get,

n1C1 = n1C2 - 5*C2

=> 5 * C2 = n1 * (C2 - C1)
=> 5 * 48 = n1 * 8
=> n1 = 30

Distance travelled = n1 * C1 = 30*40 = 1200 ft.

please solve these and give solutions in detail......

1.In a fort there was sufficient food for 200 students for 31 days.after 27 days 120 soldiers left the fort.for how many extra days will the rest of the food last for the remaining soldiers?


2.An engineer undertakes a project to build a road 15km long in 300 days and employs 45 men for the purpose.after 100 days,he finds only 2.5 km of the road has been completed.find the number of extra men he must employ to finish the work in time.

800 units of food left
800/80 = 10 days ??


2.An engineer undertakes a project to build a road 15km long in 300 days and employs 45 men for the purpose.after 100 days,he finds only 2.5 km of the road has been completed.find the number of extra men he must employ to finish the work in time.

90000 units work
work completed -- 90000/6 = 15000 units
daily 150 units of work is being done by 45 workers
1 worker -- 150/45 = 10/3 units daily

75000 units in 200 days
375 units daily work

workers neeeded = 375*3/10 = 112.5

113 round off

68 more workers ??

the number of days required by a,b,c to work individually is 6,12,8 respectively.they started a work doing it alternatively .if a has started then followed by b and so on ,how many days are needed to complete the whole work ?

let total amount of work be 24 units
then A will do-4 units of work in 1 day...
and similarly B-2units C-3units.......
now it is following a cycle
ABC ABC ABC....
1 CYCLE OF ABC does 9 units of work in 3 days...
so 2 cycles will be reqd...in that 18 units of work will be done....
then A will do 4 units of work....so total 22units completed...
then B will do 2 units hence total 24 will be completed...
hence answer is 8 days....
i hope it is clear.......

A number when divided by a divisor D leaves remainder of 13.When thrice the number is divided by D, the remainder obtained is 2. Find the number of possibilities for D.

1) 0
2) 1
3) 2
4) 3

My take is option 2.

what is the correct ans?

1) 0
2) 1
3) 2
4) 3

N = Da + 13
3N = Db + 2

=> 3(Da + 13) = Db + 2
Or, D(b - 3a) = 37 = 37*1
=> D=37

Hence, option 2)

correct..
Block 1 - Number system

Q1-For the no. 7200 find..

A-The sum and no. of factors divisible by 150
B-The sum and no. of factors divisible by 15
C-The sum and no. of factors not divisible by 75
D-The sum and no. of factors not divisible by 24

Q2-Find the No. of divisors 544 which are greater than 3?
Q3-Find the No. of divisors 544 excluding 1 and 544?
Q4-Find the No. of divisors 544 which are perfect squares?

Q5-Find the number of zeroes in

100^1* 99^2* 98^3 * 97^4.....................* 1^100
1080 means 2^3 * 3^3 * 5
therefore the number of divisors of 1080 is (3+1)*(3+1)*(1+1)= 32 ;
Now , from 2^3 * 3^3 * 5 , we get the perfect squares as 2^2 , 3^2 , and (2*3)^2 , these are possible perfect squares . so excluding them all , we will get 32-3 = 29 divisors . So 29 is the correct answer .. :clap:

Answer to this is 28 as given in arun sharma....pg23 Block 1

because if you exclude perfect squares the we are left with 2^1*3^1*5^1=30 minus 2( for 2^3 and 3^3)

=28...

Correct me if i am wrong..

Two people A and B start from P and Q(distance= D) at the same time towards each other. They meet at a point R, which is at a distance of 0.4D from P. They continue to move two and fro between the two points. Find the distance from point P at which the fourth meeting takes place.

a) 0.8D
b) 0.6D
c) 0.3D
d) 0.4D

7200 = 2^5 * 3^2 * 5^2

1.
no. of factors = (5+1)(2+1)(2+1) = 54 -------------------------(f1)
sum of factors = (2^6 - 1)(3^3 - 1)(5^3 - 1)/(2-1)(3-1)(5-1)-----(s1)

3.
no. of odd factors = factors of 3^2*5^2 = (2+1)(2+1) = 9 -----------(f3)
sum of factors ... use the same process -----------------------(s3)

2.
no. of even factors = (f1) - (f3)
sum of even factors = (s1)-(s3)

4.
7200 = 25 * 2^5*3^2 ... 25 should be in each factor ...
no. of factors div by 25 = no of factors of 2^5 * 3^2

work on similar lines for all the rest ...

For the number 7200 find.
1 The sum and number of all factors
2. The sum and number of even factors
3. The sum and number of odd factors
4. The sum and number of factors divisible by 25
5. The sum and number of factors divisible by 40
6. The sum and number of factors divisible by 150
7. The sum and number of factors not divisible by 75
8. The sum and number of factors not divisible by 24


So 6 answer should be
150= 15*10= 5*3*5*2 = 5^2*3*2

7200= 2^5 * 3^2 * 5^2

Sum= (2^1+2^2+2^3+2^4+2^5)(3^1+3^2)
No.= (2^4 * 3^1)
