multiply(242, divide(inverse(14), add(inverse(21), add(inverse(7), inverse(14)))))
a , b and c can do a work in 7 , 14 and 21 days respectively . they completed the work and got $ 242 . what is the share of c ?
"c $ 44 the ratio of their working rates = 1 / 7 : 1 / 14 : 1 / 21 = 6 : 3 : 2 . since , they work together , the share of c = 2 / 11 * 242 = $ 44"
a = 1/(14) b = 1/(21) c = 1/(7) d = 1/(14) e = c + d f = b + e g = a / f h = 242 * g
a ) 3 , b ) 4 , c ) 6 , d ) 8 , e ) 9

subtract(subtract(subtract(95, 25), const_4), const_2)
a certain no . when divided by 95 leaves a remainder 25 , what is the remainder if the same no . be divided by 15 ?
"explanation : 95 + 25 = 120 / 15 = 8 ( remainder ) d"
a = 95 - 25 b = a - 4 c = b - 2
