Maths Puzzle
Indian Team went for a Tournament in England. Unfortunately it rained for 13 days when they were there. But whenever it rained in the mornings, they had clear afternoons and when have clear morning then it rained during afternoon. In all they enjoyed 11 mornings and 12 afternoons. How many days did Indian team stay there totally?
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- 18 days
suppose team stayed for x days.
Total sessions ( M+E) they had in England = 2x sessions
Total sessions lost due to rains = 13
Total sessions enjoyed = 11+12=23
hence
2x= 13+23=36
x=18 days - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- let us assume that they have stayed for x days.
so, they have enjoyed (x-13) mornings and afternoons for sure.(as it rained for 13 days)
now, remaining
enjoyed morning=11-(x-13)
&
enjoyed afternoon=12-(x-13)
so, we can say
12-(x-13) mornings and 11-(x-13) afternoon rained
according to question we can say,
12-(x-13)+11-(x-13)=13
=>12-x+13+11-x+13=13
=>2x=26
=>x=18 (ans)
Indian team stayed there for 18 days. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
- 23 days 11+12
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
- 23 days 11+12
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
- oops typing mistake
=>2x=36 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(5)
- 23 days 11+12 days
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
