Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.

(x-2)^3==x^3-6x^2+12x-8
(x-2)^3==(2^(2/3)+2^(1/3))^3
therefore,by solving
Ans: x^3-6x^2+x== -8-5*2^(2/3)-5*2^(1/3)

50 paise coins= 400 = Rs 200
20 paise coins = 600 = Rs 120
10 paise coins= 800 = Rs 80

(115+65+x)/3=95
x=105

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
given l abd b as 18 cm and 26 cm
therefore perimeter of rectangle = 2(44)
perimeter of circle = 2*pi*r
given 2*pi*r=2(l+B)
i.e, 2*(22/7)*r= 2(44)
(22/7)*r=44
r=14 cms
area of the circle = pi*r*r
=(22/7)*14*14
=616 sqcm is the answer

The hour hand advances between individual numbers as the minute hand makes a full path around the hour. The hour hand was pointing directly at 3 at 3:00, but at 3:15 it has advanced 1/4 of the way between 3 and 4. The number of degrees between numbers 30 (because 360/12). That gives you 30/4 = 7.5. The number of degrees between the two hands is 7.5 degrees.

let the total work to be done =1
so a+b+c=1 (say)
then a and b are supposed to do 7/11 th of work
so c= 1- (7/11)
c=4/11
therefore c gets (4/11)*550
=200 is the answer
