Solution # 15-18
Sitting solution be- D T M B H R
Ans 15 :Mr. D
ans 16 : 1 2 3
Ans 17 : 3
Ans 18 : Mr B Suffering from anemia.
A & B one day work= 1/18 + 1/30= 8/90
As we know that number of work is 1
1÷8/90= 1*90/8= 90/8.
Since they say “ twice the amount of work
Then ,2*90/8= 22.5 days
15a=45

Let the number be x.
So x-2 =15/x, or
x^2–2x-15=0, or
(x-5)(x+3)=0
Hence x = 5 or -3.
Check: When x=5, 5–2=3 which is 15/5=3.
When x=-3, -3–2=-5 which is 15/-3=-5.
The number is 5 or -3.
Matches played: 60.
Matches won: 30% of 60 => (60*(30/100)) = 18 matches.
Iterative approach:
On adding 1 to matches played and matches won, on every iteration until the win percentage gets to 50. So
19 / 61 = 0.3114754098360656
20 / 62 = 0.3225806451612903
21 / 63 = 0.3333333333333333
22 / 64 = 0.34375

Similarly,
41 / 83 = 0.4939759036144578
42 / 84 = 0.5
So, after 60th match 24 more matches has to be played and won to get 50% average winning rate.
