Assume the family has X girls and Y boys, according to the question,
we can have 2 equations:
X-1=Y, 2(Y-2)=X.
Solve the equations, we get X=4, Y=3.

K's work in a day(1st day) = 1/30
L's work in a day(2nd day)= -1/60(demolishing)
hence in 2 days, combined work= 1/30 - 1/60 =1/60
since both works alternatively, K will work in odd days and L will work in even days.
1/60 unit work is done in 2 days
58/60 unit work will be done in 2 x 58 days = 116 days
Remaining work = 1-58/60 = 1/30
Next day, it will be K's turn and K will finish the remaining 1/30 work.
hence total days = 116 + 1 = 117.

Let the cost price be Rs. 100
Then, market price is Rs. 140
Now, the first discount is of 28.57% Rs.140 =~ Rs. 40
Hence, its selling price = 140 - 40 = Rs. 100
Now since Rana is selling at cost price, any further discount will be equal to loss percentage.
The next dicount of 12.5% will be the loss percentage to Rana.

Customer ratio of Milk and Water is given by

Milk          ::        Water

  6.4                         0

         81 + 38 =6411

 6411                      6410 - 6411

=> Milk : Water = 110 : 11 = 10 : 1

Therefore, the proportionate of Water to Milk for Customer is 1 : 10

A Sound wave needs a medium for propogation. Hence, Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.

Let p be the speed of man in kmph

According to the given data in the question,

Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction

=> 20 x 10/60 = 8/60 (20 + p)

=> 200 = 160 + 8p

=> p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.

Let the present ages of Arun and Harish be 4x and 3x years respectively.

Then, 4x + 6 = 26 => x = 5

Harish's age = 3x = 15 years.
