Let the required length be x meters

 More men, More length built     (Direct proportion) 

Less days, Less length built      (Direct Proportion)

Men20:35Days6 : 3⋮⋮ 56 :x 

=> (20 x 6 x X)=(35 x 3 x 56) 

=> x = 49 

Hence, the required length is 49 m.

Excess of B's height over A's = [(40/(100 - 40)] x 100% =  66.66%

S.I. for 1 ½ years = Rs (1164 - 1008) = Rs 156 . 

S.I. for 2 years = Rs (156 x 23 x 2)= Rs 208. 

Therefore, Principal = Rs (1008 - 208) = Rs 800. 

Now, P = 800, T= 2 and S.I. = 208.

Therefore, Rate = (100 x S.I.) / (P x T) = [ (100 x 208)/(800 x 2)]% = 13%

Let each instalment be Rs.x .

1st year =  [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] 

2nd year = [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] 

3rd year = x 

Then, [x + (x * 12 * 2)/100] + [ x + (x *12 * 1)/100] + x =1092 

3x + ( 24x/100 ) + ( 12x/100 )  = 1092 

336x =109200

Therefore, x = 325 

Each instalment = Rs. 325

In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,...

Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.

 H. C. F of two prime numbers is 1.  Product of numbers = 1 x 161 = 161.

 Let the numbers be a and b . Then , ab= 161.

 Now, co-primes with  product 161 are (1, 161) and (7, 23).

 Since x and y are prime numbers and x >y , we have x=23 and y=7.

 Therefore,  3y-x = (3 x 7)-23 = -2

(kx22)/100 = 340 - 166.64 = 173.36
k = (173.36 x 100)/22
k = 788
