- 22) Let initially X grass was present there,and it is increasing by Y grass per day, then for the first condition We get,
X+24*y = 24*70 ----(1)
For the 2nd condition, we have,
X+60*Y = 60*30----(2) Now, On solving equation (1) and (2), we get
X = 1600 and
Y = 10 /3
Third Condition,
X+96*Y = 96 *N -----(3) [N = Number of Cows required]
Putting the values of X and Y in equation (3), We get
N = 20. - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(16) No(0)

- Q:29 Ans is 33%
Solution Let assume x% of people attend the party
Out of x 35% is men so, x*35/100=7x/20 men and remaining 13x/20 is women
Now out of 7x/20 20% men are attend the party so, (7x/20)*(20/100)=7x/100
Now out of 13x/20 40% women are attend the party so, (13x/20)*(40/100)=13x/50
Total people attend the party: Men+ Women 7x/100+13x/50=33x/100
% of people attend the party : (33x/100)*(1/x)(100)=33%

- 33) first women sit in any of four seats = 4 ways
2nd women sit in any of the 3seats = 3 ways
So total = 4*3 = 12 .
Remaining 6 chairs are there then 1 men can sit in any of 6
2nd can sit in any of 5
3rd can sit in any of 4
6*5*4=120

- 21) product of HCF and LCM=product of the number
then, product of the number=19*1140
Let 19a and 19b be the numbers.
19a*19b= 19*1140
ab= 19*1140/19*19=60
if ab=60 then,(a,b)=(1,60),(2,30),(3,20),(4,15),(5,12)&(6,10)
since a and b are co-prime then,(a,b)=(1,60),(4,15),(5,12)

- 21.) hcf *LCM=multiple of number =a*b;
bcoz hcf number is common in both number;
a=19*x; b=19*y;
19*1140=19*19*x*y;
x*y=60;
as both number is >19;
