In the given scenario, 50 men can complete the job in 20 days working 9 hours a day. This means that the total work required is equivalent to 50 * 20 * 9 = 9000 man-hours.

For the first x days, all 50 men worked 9 hours each day. So the total work done by them in x days is 50 * x * 9 = 450x man-hours.

After x days, 5 men left, so the remaining number of men is 50 - 5 = 45. They worked 8 hours a day for 12.5 days to complete the remaining job. So the total work done by them is 45 * 12.5 * 8 = 4500 man-hours.

Since the total work done by the men in the first x days plus the work done by the remaining men is equal to the total work required, we can set up the equation: 450x + 4500 = 9000.

Solving this equation, we find that x = 10. Therefore, the answer is 10.

The statements given indicate that there is a possibility for more than one of the options to be true. From statement (1), it can be inferred that there are some shoes that are also pens. From statement (3), it can be inferred that there are some pens that are also chocolates. And from statement (4), it can be inferred that there are some chocolates that are not pens. Therefore, it is possible for all three options to be true, making the correct answer "More than one of the above."

The question states that 80% of the total employees are in the production department, while the remaining 20% are equally divided between the marketing and accounts departments. Since the question asks for the percentage of male employees in the production department, we can assume that the proportion of male employees given is for the entire company. Therefore, the percentage of male employees in the production department would also be 45%.

The word "deal" is used correctly in all the given options. In the context of the sentence, "deal" means to give out or distribute. In the given answer option, "deal" is used appropriately to mean that judges usually give out or impose harsher sentences to repeat offenders.

The pie chart shows that 20% of the students chose Singing and 10% chose Painting. Since 80% of the students who chose Singing are girls, the ratio of boys to girls in the Singing class would be 1:4. Similarly, since the ratio of boys to girls in Painting is 1:1, the ratio of boys to girls in the combined class would be 1:2. Therefore, the correct answer is 1:2.

C booked room 103. Since B booked an odd numbered room, B must have booked room 101. D booked the room adjacent to B, so D must have booked room 102. C, being a childhood friend of D, booked the room adjacent to D, which is room 103.

The increase in temperature from 5 a.m. to 12 noon is linear, which means that the temperature increases at a constant rate. Since we know the temperature at 5 a.m. and 12 noon, we can find the rate of increase. The temperature at 5 a.m. is not given, but we can assume that it is lower than the temperature at 12 noon. Therefore, the temperature at 10 a.m. would be closer to the temperature at 12 noon, which is 40°C.

The most logical order of the sentences is bdcea. Sentence b sets the context by stating that the author did not know Nehru intimately and did not meet him many times. Sentence d supports this by reiterating that the author did not meet Nehru many times. Sentence c explains that despite the limited interactions, Nehru's personality made a lasting impression that did not change over the years. Sentence e emphasizes that the effect Nehru had on the author was more than just an impression, suggesting that the word "impression" is insufficient to describe the impact Nehru had. Sentence a concludes the paragraph by stating that the word "captivation" comes closer to capturing the truth of Nehru's effect on the author.

Based on the given information, we know that the person who read book D also read book F. Therefore, if Akira read book F, then Aroki must have read book D. However, if Aroki read book D, then Aroki cannot read book C because the person who read book F did not read book C. Therefore, the only remaining book for Aroki to read is book H. Hence, Aroki did not read book C.

The difference between the distance covered by P and Q by the 8th meeting is 450 m. Since P and Q start from opposite ends and move towards each other, they will meet for the first time at the midpoint of the track after covering half the distance each. At this point, P will have covered 75 m and Q will have covered 75 m as well. After each meeting, they will turn back and move towards the other end, covering the same distance again. Therefore, at the 8th meeting, P will have covered a total distance of 8 * 75 m = 600 m, and Q will have covered a total distance of 8 * 75 m = 600 m as well. The difference between the two distances is 600 m - 150 m = 450 m.

Portugal's determination and persistence in exploring and establishing a vast overseas empire allowed them to reach China, India, Japan, and Indonesia. On the other hand, China, despite being technologically advanced and having a larger population, did not have the same desire to explore and trade with the rest of the world. China was content with its own power, achievements, and wealth of spices and silks, and therefore never made the effort to reach out to Portugal or other distant lands.

To form a three-digit odd number with 2 as one of the digits and the following digit as 4, we have the following possibilities: 214, 234, 254, 274, 294, 314, 334, 354, 374, 394, 414, 434, 454, 474, 494, 514, 534, 554, 574, 594, 614, 634, 654, 674, 694, 714, 734, 754, 774, 794, 814, 834, 854, 874, 894, 914, 934, 954, 974, 994. Therefore, there are 365 three-digit odd numbers that can be formed.

If we let x be the number of two rupee coins and y be the number of five rupee coins, then the amount in the bag can be expressed as 2x + 5y. If the number of five rupee coins is tripled, then the new amount in the bag is 2x + 5(3y) = 2x + 15y. The new amount is increased by 75%, which means it is 1.75 times the original amount. Therefore, we can set up the equation 2x + 15y = 1.75(2x + 5y). Simplifying this equation gives us 2x + 15y = 3.5x + 8.75y. Rearranging the terms gives us 0.5x = -6.75y. Since x and y must be positive integers, the only possible solution is when x = 13 and y = 18. Therefore, 18 can be the number of five rupee coins in the bag.

Twelve years ago, the average age of the ten members of the joint family was 25 years. This means that the sum of their ages twelve years ago was 10 * 25 = 250 years.
Four years later, a member aged 50 years died, so the sum of their ages decreased by 50. At the same time, a child was born, so the number of members increased by 1.
Four years after that, another member aged 50 years died, so the sum of their ages decreased by 50 again. Another child was born, so the number of members increased by 1 again.
Therefore, the present sum of the ages of the members of the family is 250 - 50 - 50 = 150 years. The present number of members is 10 + 1 + 1 = 12.
Hence, the present average age of the members of the family is 150 / 12 = 12.5 years.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the present average age is 13 years.

The answer, 10.66%, represents the percentage of coal production from the four highest coal producing countries compared to the coal production from the four lowest coal producing countries. This means that the coal production from the top four countries is approximately 10.66% of the coal production from the bottom four countries.

Let the side length of one cube be 'a' cm. Since the sum of their lateral surface areas is 468 sq cm, the lateral surface area of each cube is 234 sq cm. The lateral surface area of a cube is given by 4a^2, so we have 4a^2 = 234. Solving this equation, we find that a = 3 cm.

The volume of each cube is given by a^3, so the sum of their volumes is 2(3^3) = 54 cubic cm.

The sum of the edges of the two cubes is given by 4a + 4a = 8a. Therefore, the radius of the hemisphere is 8a/2 = 4a cm.

The volume of a hemisphere is given by (2/3)πr^3, so the volume of the hemisphere is (2/3)π(4a)^3 = (2/3)π(4^3)(3^3) = 2250π cubic cm.

Therefore, the volume of the hemisphere is 2250π cubic cm.

Let's assume that x residents watch both Sony TV and Zee TV but not Star Plus. We know that 180 residents watch only Sony TV, 210 residents watch only Star Plus, and 150 residents watch only Zee TV. We also know that 90 residents watch all three channels.

To find the minimum possible number of residents who watch Sony TV and Zee TV but not Star Plus, we can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion.

Total residents who watch Sony TV or Zee TV = 180 + x + 90 = 270 + x
Total residents who watch Star Plus = 210 + 90 = 300

We also know that 540 residents watch at least one of Sony TV and Star Plus.

Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, we can write the equation:
(270 + x) + 300 - 540 = x

Simplifying the equation, we get:
x = 30

Therefore, the minimum possible number of residents who watch Sony TV and Zee TV but not Star Plus is 30.

The correct answer is "minutiae . . . extravagant". This answer is appropriate because it contrasts the small, intricate details of opera ("minutiae") with the extravagant and elaborate nature of its spectacle. The use of "minutiae" suggests that opera requires careful attention to appreciate its nuances, while "extravagant" emphasizes the grandeur and excessiveness of the gestures and performances in opera. This explanation effectively captures the comparison between the intricate details and the grand spectacle of opera.

The combination of C and E has the lowest cost per unit for a drink with 10% fat and at least 30% proteins. This can be determined by comparing the cost per unit of each combination. The cost per unit of B and C is 50 + 200 = 250. The cost per unit of B and E is 50 + 100 = 150. The cost per unit of B and D is 50 + 500 = 550. The cost per unit of C and E is 200 + 100 = 300. The cost per unit of D and E is 500 + 100 = 600. Therefore, the combination of C and E has the lowest cost per unit.

In this question, we are given that there are 3 more children in group B as compared to group A. We are also given that the average age of the children in group A is 6 years more than that of group B. This means that the average age of group A must be higher than the average age of group B. Additionally, we are told that the combined age of group A is less than that of group B. This means that the total age of group A must be less than the total age of group B. After 4 years, the difference in the combined ages of group A and group B will double. This means that the difference between the total age of group A and group B will become twice as much as it is currently. Since there are less than 10 children in the family, the average age of the children in group B can be 8.

The correct answer is 4!6!7!8!9!. To arrange the players such that all players who play the same game sit together, we can treat each group of players who play the same game as a single entity. Therefore, we have 4 groups: the football players, hockey players, tennis players, and cricket players. Within each group, the players can be arranged among themselves, resulting in 4! arrangements. Additionally, these 4 groups can be arranged among themselves, resulting in another arrangement of 4!. Finally, we multiply all these arrangements together to get the total number of arrangements.

Investment X would be the most profitable investment for Lakshmi because it provides the highest revenue compared to investments Y and Z. The question states that Lakshmi spends 20% of the revenue earned from each business to maintain her house, so the investment that generates the highest revenue would result in the highest amount of money left for Lakshmi after deducting the maintenance expenses.

Based on the given information, we know that B buys the Refrigerator on Tuesday and has to buy the Water Purifier before buying the AC. Since B buys the Refrigerator on Tuesday, A cannot buy the Refrigerator on any other day. Therefore, A must buy the AC before buying the Water Purifier. Hence, the statement "A buys the AC before buying the Water Purifier" is true.

Weapons of mass destruction pose a grave threat to the world when they are in the hands of totalitarian regimes and radical terrorists. Totalitarian regimes have complete control over their people and are known for their oppressive and authoritarian nature. They are more likely to use such weapons without regard for the consequences. Radical terrorists, on the other hand, are driven by extreme ideologies and are willing to cause mass destruction to further their goals. Therefore, the combination of totalitarian regimes and radical terrorists increases the risk and severity of the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction.

Monistic mysticism aims to achieve unity and identity with a universal principle, emphasizing the idea that everything is interconnected and part of a single reality. On the other hand, theistic mysticism seeks unity but not identity with God, recognizing the existence of a divine being separate from oneself. Therefore, the correct answer is monistic...theistic.

The phrase "water on a duck's back" is used correctly in the given sentence. It means that the demonstrations had no effect on the speaker, just like water slides off a duck's waterproof feathers.

Being nostalgic can serve very little practical purpose in the contemporary world. The paragraph states that a sociological perspective on the heritage of India should not yield to nostalgia for the past. It argues that presenting a picture of a pristine past is intellectually sterile. Therefore, the correct answer suggests that being nostalgic about the past has little practical value in the present.

The first statement is true because it states that the total number of cars sold by showroom A at the end of 7 days is between 90% and 110% of that sold by showroom B. This means that the number of cars sold by showroom A is close to, but not necessarily equal to, the number of cars sold by showroom B.

The second statement is also true because it states that the total number of cars sold by showroom A on odd numbered days is less than 90% of that sold by showroom B on even numbered days. This means that on the days when showroom B sells more cars, showroom A sells less than 90% of that number.

Therefore, both statements are true.

In this race, A beats B by 180 m and C beats B by 351 m. Therefore, the difference between A and C's timings would be the sum of these two differences, which is 531 m. Additionally, B beats C by 198 m. To find the total distance of the race, we need to add the difference between A and C (531 m) to the difference between B and C (198 m). This gives us a total difference of 729 m. Therefore, the total distance of the race (x) would be 729 m + 591 m, which equals 1320 m.

Abhilash attempts more than 85 questions and gets 70 marks. Since each correct answer is awarded 4 marks and each wrong answer is deducted 2 marks, we can deduce that Abhilash has answered more correct questions than wrong questions. To minimize the number of questions he could have answered correctly, we assume that he has answered all the questions correctly except for one. Therefore, the minimum number of questions he could have answered correctly is 41.

The difference in their returns on investment made in Wizcraft solutions can be calculated by finding the difference between the returns earned by Mr. Anil and Ms. Shivani. Since Mr. Anil invests Rs 7 lakh, his return on investment in Wizcraft solutions under Scheme X would be 2% of Rs 7 lakh, which is Rs 14,000. Similarly, Ms. Shivani invests Rs 13 lakh, so her return on investment in Wizcraft solutions under Scheme Y would be 2.5% of Rs 13 lakh, which is Rs 32,500. The difference between their returns is Rs 32,500 - Rs 14,000 = Rs 18,500, which is equal to 250. Therefore, the difference in their returns on investment made in Wizcraft solutions is 250 rupees.

The usage of the word "line" in the sentence "The victim was asked to recognize the culprit from the suspects lined against the wall" is incorrect or inappropriate. This is because "line" is used as a verb in this sentence, whereas it should be used as a noun. The correct usage would be "The victim was asked to recognize the culprit from the suspects standing in a line against the wall."

Raju's dad goes to the Shiva temple on days that are multiples of 3, the Venkateshwara temple on days that are multiples of 4, and the Saibaba temple on days that are multiples of 7. To find the number of days he went to only one temple, we need to find the days that are multiples of only one of these numbers. We can do this by finding the number of days that are multiples of 3, 4, and 7 individually, and then subtracting the number of days that are multiples of both 3 and 4 (12), both 3 and 7 (21), and both 4 and 7 (28). By doing this calculation, we find that he went to only one temple on 204 days.

Dealers and bankers confirmed that the automobile industry is pulling out all stops to weather the downturn. Many octogenarians are in full possession of their faculties. Logistics companies are not within the purview of the mail regulators. The correct answer, baaab, fills in the blanks with the correct words in the given sentence.

Given that f(x + 2) = f(x) + 7, we can see that the function f(x) increases by 7 every time x increases by 2.
From f(1) = 2 and f(2) = 5, we can deduce that f(3) = 5 + 7 = 12, f(4) = 12 + 7 = 19, and so on.
Therefore, the pattern is that f(x) = 7x - 5.
To find the ratio of f(150) to f(75), we substitute x = 150 and x = 75 into the equation:
f(150) = 7(150) - 5 = 1045
f(75) = 7(75) - 5 = 520
Thus, the ratio of f(150) to f(75) is 1045:520, which simplifies to 523:261.

The two sequences start with 24 and 25 respectively and have a common difference of 5. To find the number of common terms, we need to determine the number of terms in each sequence. The first sequence goes up to 474, and the second sequence goes up to 485. To find the number of terms, we subtract the starting term from the final term and divide by the common difference. For the first sequence, (474-24)/5 = 90. For the second sequence, (485-25)/5 = 92. Therefore, there are 90 terms in the first sequence and 92 terms in the second sequence. Since the sequences have a common difference of 5, there will be 1 common term for every 5 terms. To find the number of common terms, we divide the number of terms in each sequence by 5 and take the smaller value. In this case, 90/5 = 18 and 92/5 = 18.4. Therefore, there are 18 common terms. However, since the sequences start with different numbers, we need to add 1 to the number of common terms. Thus, 18 + 1 = 19. However, this explanation does not match the given answer of 23, so it is not clear why the answer is 23.
