If 50 men can do a piece of work in 12 days working 6 hours per day, how many hours a day would 60 men have to work in order to do another piece of work twice as great in 16 days
Solution (b)
This problem can be solved by unitary method where you need to establish relation between individual quantities
According to the question,
Let the number of hours required be X
Men day hours work
50 12 6 1
60 16 X 2
On solving
(6/X) = (60/50) (16/12) (1/2) à hours and men, hours and days are indirectly proportional whereas hours and work are directly proportional
X = 7.5 hours
Solution (b)
This problem can be solved by unitary method where you need to establish relation between individual quantities
According to the question,
Let the number of hours required be X
Men day hours work
50 12 6 1
60 16 X 2
On solving
(6/X) = (60/50) (16/12) (1/2) à hours and men, hours and days are indirectly proportional whereas hours and work are directly proportional
X = 7.5 hours
A bag contains 50 paisa, 25 paisa and 10 paisa coins in the ratio 5:9:4, amounting to Rs 206. Find the number of coins of 50 paisa.
Solution (a)
According to the question coin ration is
5:9:4
Now the value ratio will be
5*50:9*25:4*10
250:225:40
50:45:8
This value amounts to Rs 103, given amount is 206
So, 100:90:16
Clearly value of 50 paisa coins is 100 Rs which means the number of 50 paisa coins will be 200.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow the passage. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
The Criminal Investigation Department often makes use of fingerprints in identifying culprits. This procedure is based on the accepted truth that the fingerprints of no two individuals are the same. A glance at the five fingers of our own hand convinces us of the differences that exist among them. No two individuals are the same, not even identical twins. Everyone is different from the other in one way or another.
Noticeable differences may exist in size, weight, age appearance, colour, voice, smile, etc. There are other differences which are not easily observable. Differences exist in the mental make-up, psychological actions, understanding capacity, attitudes, abilities, interests, etc.
Every individual is a separate entity having his or her own identity. It speaks highly of the Creator who has not created human beings like the modern machine-made goods. Every individual has been created separately land differently from the rest.
Individual differences exist because of heredity, family background, education,, environment, etc. Whatever the causes or reasons, we must accept the fact that there are individual differences both perceptible and non-perceptible. Consequently, two individuals cannot be expected to react to a situation or a problem in the same way. There are as many opinions as there are men. It is bound to be so. One should not be surprised to get different opinions from different people on the same issue.
Individual differences affect the actions, reactions and performances of people. In a family of three children, the eldest may to extremely well at studies, and the parents expect the same kind of performance from the others. It is certainly unjust and unfair as each of them is different in several ways. Very often we wonder why a person reacts the way he or she does. We consider that person to be strange, abnormal or stupid. Yet, that person may be quite normal and intelligent. These differences in reactions can be understood only if individual differences are kept in mind. In fact, this concept helps people understand each other better. It results in respect and appreciation for each other’s views.
It is understood that each one is a separate individual with his or her own identity. No one is expected to be a carbon copy of another. We may imitate or hero-worship, but it would be wrong to identify ourselves with someone else. We are different and must remain so in our thoughts, words and actions.
