If 3 men or 4 women can reap a field in 43 days. How long will 7 men and 5 women take to reap it?
3 men or 4 women can reap the field in 43 days.
3 men = 4 women.
1 man = 4/3 women.
7 man = 28/3 women.
7 men and 5 women = 5 + (28/3) = 43/3 women.
4 women can reap field in 43 days.
So,
1 women can reap in = 43 *4 days.
Hence,
43/3 women can reap = (43*4 *3) /43 = 12 days.

The population of a town is 10000. In a particular year, male population is increased by 5% and female population by 8%. If the population at the end of year is 10590. What was the male population in the town in beginning of the year?
Actual increase in the population = 10590-10000 = 590
Let, the population consist of male population only.
Then, increase in population = 5% of 10000 = 500
Higher rate of increase for female population = 8% - 5% = 3%
∴ 3% of female population = 90 (i.e., 30 times of 3)
∴ Female population = 30 x 100 = 3000
and Male population = 10000 - 3000 = 7000

A mixture of 70 litres of wine and water contains 10% of water. How much more water should be added to make the water of the resulting mixture ?
If P1 be original percentage of water and P2 be final, solution then quantity of water to be added = 70(P2-P1) / 100-P2
= 70(12.5-10) / 100-12.5
= 70 x 2.5 / 87.5 = 2 litres
