"number of days taken by ram to complete task = 30 since ram is half as efficient as krish , amount of work done by krish in 1 day = amount of work done by ram in 2 days if total work done by ram in 30 days is 30 w amount of work done by ram in 1 day = w amount of work done by krish in 1 day = 2 w total amount of work ...

of the final grades received by the students in a certain math course , 1 / 5 are a ' s , 1 / 4 are b ' s , 1 / 2 are c ' s , and the remaining 5 grades are d ' s . what is the number of students in the course ?
"we start by creating a variable for the total number of students in the math course . we can say : t = total number of students in the math course next , we can use variable t in an equation that we translate from the given information . we are given that , of the final grades received by the students in a certain mat...

the captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 26 years old and the wicket keeper is 11 years older . if the ages of these two are excluded , the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team . what is the average age of the team ?
"explanation let the average age of the whole team by x years . 11 x â € “ ( 26 + 40 ) = 9 ( x - 1 ) 11 x â € “ 9 x = 54 2 x = 54 x = 27 . so , average age of the team is 27 years . answer e"
a = 26 + 11 b = 26 + a c = 11 * 11 d = b - c e = d / 2
