Given that 

6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days 

26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days

As the work done is equal,

10(6M + 8B) = 2(26M + 48B)

60M + 80B = 52M + 96B

=> M = 2B

=> B = M/2 ……(1)

Now Put (1) in 15M + 20B

=> 15M + 10M = 25M

Now, 6M + 8B in 10 days

=> (6M + 4M) 10 = 100M

Then D(25M) = 100M

=> D = 4 days.

The given series follows a pattern of +19, x19, +17, x17, +15, x15,...

Here the number which is to be replaced in ? is

41310+15=41325.

The given number series is 8, 11, 19, 23, 32, ?

It follows a pattern that

8 + 11 = 19

11 + 12 = 23

19 + 13 = 32

23 + 14 = 37

32 + 15 = 47

....

Hence, the next number in the given series = 37.

Let the numbers be 3x, 3x + 3 and 3x + 6.
Then,
3x + (3x + 3) + (3x + 6) = 72
9x = 63
x = 7
Largest number = 3x + 6 = 27.

=> Second largest number = 27 - 3 = 24

Ans. 
17 = 2 x 6 + 5
89 = 17 x 5 + 4
359 = 89 x 4 + 3
1079 = 359 x 3 + 2
? = 1079 x 2 + 1, i.e. ? = 2159

Speed in still water = 6 kmph

Stream speed = 1.2 kmph

Down stream  = 7.2 kmph

Up Stream = 4.8 kmph

x/7.2 + x/4.8 = 1

x = 2.88

Total Distance  = 2.88 x 2 = 5.76 kms

Lover of nature is called nature lover or Green Panther.

Autophile is a person who loves being alone.

Dendrophile is a person who loves trees and forests.

Petrichor is an earthy smell that follows a rainfall.

1/8 - 1/x = 1/10

 => x = 40 hrs
