a type q machine can complete a job in 5 hours and a type b machine can complete the job in 7 hours . how many hours will it take 2 type q machines and 3 type b machines working together and independently to complete the job ?
now d should be the answer . q need 5 hours to complete and b needs 7 hours to compete so 2 q + 3 b will complete 2 / 5 + 3 / 7 or 29 / 35 portion of the job in 1 hour so the whole job will take 35 / 29 hours . . . . = d

a fellow borrowed a certain sum of money at 3 % per annum at simple interest and in 3 years the interest amounted to rs . 1820 less than the sum lent . what was the sum lent ?
"p - 1820 = ( p * 3 * 3 ) / 100 p = 2000 answer : d"
a = 3 * 3 b = a / 100 c = 1 - b d = 1820 / c
