Solutions

Q2. a)Rs. 87.50 Q3. b)4hrs Suppose a, b , c be the no. of hrs each of them takes to complete the work then, abc/(ab+bc+ca) = a-5 = b/3 = 2c/9 = k a=(k+5), b=3k, c = 9k/2 Substitue these values in abc/(ab+bc+ca) = k, we get k = 4hrs which is the req answer Q7. b)18 Q10.c)a prime number Q11. a)51
