(4) 17/25

Answers and Solution:
1.(3)
2.(2).
Required time = 1/(1/20+1/30)
= 1/((3+2)/60) = 60/5 = 12 Minute

3.(2) According to question :-
(6m + 8B)×10=(26m + 48B) ×2
 ∴ 60m + 80B = 52m + 96 B
 or, 1 M = 2 B
∴ 15 M + 20 B = (30 + 20)B
= 50 boys and 6m + 8B = (12 + 8) boys = 20 boys
20 boys can finish the work in 10 days 
∴ 50 boys can finish the work = (20×10)/50 = 4dasy.

4.(3) Time taken to cover 20 km at speed 5 km/hr
= 4 hours
∴ Fixed time = 4 hour – 40 minutes = 3 hour 20 min
Time taken to cover 20 km at the speed 8 km/hr =20/8
= 2 hours 30 minute
∴ Required time = 3 hours 20 minutes – 2 hr 30 min
= 50 minutes

5.(2)
6.(3)
7.(2)
8.(3)Required Number  = (864×144)/288=432
9.(2)Let the required number be x
∴ According to question
50 x – 30x = 400
20 x = 400
∴ x = 20
10.(1)
