a , b and c , each working alone can complete a job in 6 , 8 and 12 days respectively . if all three of them work together to complete a job and earn $ 2340 , what will be b ' s share of the earnings ?
explanatory answer a , b and c will share the amount of $ 2340 in the ratio of the amounts of work done by them . as a takes 6 days to complete the job , if a works alone , a will be able to complete 1 / 6 th of the work in a day . similarly , b will complete 1 / 8 th and c will complete 1 / 12 th of the work . so , the ratio of the work done by a : b : c when they work together will be equal to 1 / 6 : 1 / 8 : 1 / 12 multiplying the numerator of all 3 fractions by 24 , the lcm of 6 , 8 and 12 will not change the relative values of the three values . we get 24 / 6 : 24 / 8 : 24 / 12 = 4 : 3 : 2 . i . e . , the ratio in which a : b : c will share $ 2340 will be 4 : 3 : 2 . hence , b ' s share will be 3 * 2340 / 9 = 780 correct choice is ( c )

a triangle has sides 10 , 17 , and 21 . a square is inscribed in the triangle . one side of the square lies on the longest side of the triangle . the other two vertices of the square touch the two shorter sides of the triangle . what is the length of the side of the square ?
by heron ' s formula , the area , a , of a triangle with sides a , b , c is given by a = square root [ s ( s βˆ’ a ) ( s βˆ’ b ) ( s βˆ’ c ) ] , where s = Β½ ( a + b + c ) is the semi - perimeter of the triangle . then s = Β½ ( 10 + 17 + 21 ) = 24 , and a = 84 . a square inscribed in a 10 by 17 by 21 triangle , with perpendicular dropped onto the side of length 21 . now drop a perpendicular of length h onto the side of length 21 . we also have a = Β½ Γ— base Γ— perpendicular height . hence a = 21 h / 2 = 84 , from which h = 8 . notice that the triangle above the square is similar to the whole triangle . ( this follows because its base , the top of the square , is parallel to the base of the whole triangle . ) let the square have side of length d . considering the ratio of altitude to base in each triangle , we have 8 / 21 = ( 8 βˆ’ d ) / d = 8 / d βˆ’ 1 . therefore the length of the side of the square is 168 / 29 . answer : b

if two objects a and b start simultaneously from opposite points and , after meeting , reach their destinations in β€˜ a ’ and β€˜ b ’ hours respectively ( i . e . a takes β€˜ a hrs ’ to travel from the meeting point to his destination and b takes β€˜ b hrs ’ to travel from the meeting point to his destination ) , then the ratio of their speeds is given by : sa / sb = √ ( b / a ) i . e . ratio of speeds is given by the square root of the inverse ratio of time taken . sa / sb = √ ( 4 / 9 ) = 2 / 3 this gives us that the ratio of the speed of a : speed of b as 2 : 3 . since speed of a is 110 kmph , speed of b must be 110 * ( 3 / 2 ) = 165 kmph answer b
