Recent Answer : Added by Abhi Chatterjee On 2022-01-08 16:05:14:

A can give B (5 min – 4 1/2 min) = 30 sec start.
The distance covered by B in 5 min = 1000 m.
Distance covered in 30 sec = (1000 * 30)/300 = 100 m.
A can give B 100m start.

Total Pages = 42+28 = 70 pages
for 70 pages we give Rs.20/-
and for 42 pages we give x
thus x = (42×20)/70
x = 12
The Answer = 12/-

Ques:- A coffee shop blends 2 kinds of coffee,putting in 2 parts of a 33p. a gm. grade to 1 part of a 24p. a gm.If the mixture is changed to 1 part of the 33p. a gm. to 2 parts of the less expensive grade,how much will the shop save in blending 100 gms.
Recent Answer : Added by Ashu On 2021-01-30 01:20:12:

Initially (2*33 + 1*24)/(2+1) = 30p a gm
So, cost for 100g = 100*30 = 3000p

Later, (1*33 + 2*24)/(1+2) = 71/3 p a gm.
So, cost for 100g = 100*(71/3) = 2366.67p

He saves 3000 – 2366.67 = 633.33p

Concept of weighted average.

Answer: 1 / 3

Lets say each brand had 16 laptops
