    • 3) 1640.33
    • 4) 1800
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 4) 1800
      Solution : Let the required number of bottles be x.
      More machines, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
      More minutes, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
      Machines       6 : 10 Time(in minutes)   1 : 4 :: 270 : x
      => 6 * 1 * x = 10 * 4 * 270
      => x = (10 * 4 *270)/6
      => x = 1800

    • ( 4 ) If 17 labours can dig a ditch 20 m long in 18 days, working 8 hours a day; how many more labours should be engaged to dig a similar ditch 39 m long in 6 days, ech labours working 9 hours a day?

    • 1) 34
    • 2) 51
    • 3) 68
    • 4) 85
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 2) 51
      Solution : Let the total number of men to be engaged be x.
      More length, More labours (Direct Proportion)
      Less days, More labours (Indirect Proportion)
      More hours per day, Less labours (Indirect Proportion)
      Length       26 : 39 Days       6 : 18 Hours per day 9 : 8 :: 17 : x
      => (26 * 6 * 9 * x) = (39 * 18 * 8 * 17)
      => x = (39 * 18 * 8 * 17)/(26 * 6 * 9)
      => x = 68
      Number of more labours = (68 - 17) = 51

    • 3) 12
    • 4) 15
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 1) 6
      Solution : Let the required number of hours per day be x.
      More boys, Less hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
      Less days, more hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
      Boys 15 : 10 Days 12 : 18 :: 6 : x
      => 15 * 12 * x = 10 * 18 * 6
      => x = (10 * 18 * 6)/ (15 * 12)
      => x = 6

    • 3) 17.6 m
    • 4) 21.25 m
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 2) 20 m
      Solution : Let the height of the tower x metres.
      Less lengthy shadow, Less in the height (Direct Proportion)
      18 : 30 :: 12 : x
      18 * x = 12 * 30
      x = 12 * 30/18
      x = 20

    • ( 10 ) If p men, working p hours per day, can do p units of work in p days, then q men, working q hoyrs per day would be able to complete how many units of work in q days ?

    • 1) p2/q3
    • 2) p3/q2
    • 3) q2/p3
    • 4) q3/p2
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 4) q3/p2
      Solution : Let the required number of units of work be x.
      More men, more work (Direct Proportion)
      more working hours, more work (Direct Proportion)
      more days, more work (Direct Proportion)
      Men       p : q Hours per day p : q Days       p : q : : p : x
      ∴ (p * p * p * x) = (q * q * q * p)
      => x = q3/p2.
