If Jack types 75 words in 1 minute. How much time will he take to type 33750 words?

 

Solution:                                                                                               

\[\because\] Jack types 75 words in 1 minute.                                                                                              

\[\therefore\] He will type 33750 words in \[\frac{33750}{75}\] minutes.

Thus, Jack will take 450 minutes to type 33750 words.  

 

 

 

If 15 computers costs Rs. 29250, find the cost of 12 computers.

 

Solution:

Cost of 15computers = Rs. 29250

Cost of 1 computer = Rs. \[\frac{29250}{15}\] = Rs. 1950

Therefore, cost of 12 computers = Rs. \[\text{195}0\times \text{12}\] = Rs. 23400  

 

 

 

A train is running at a uniform speed. It covers 324567 km in 27 hours and reaches from A to B. How long will it take to go from station B to C, if distance between B to C is 72126km?

 

Solution:

The distance covered by the train in 27 hours = 324567 km.

The distance covered by the train in 1 hour  \[=\frac{324567}{27}km\]

=12021 km                                                                                               

\[\because\] The train takes 1 hour to cover the distance 12021 km.                                                                                              

\[\therefore\] Time taken by the train to cover the distance 72126 km                                                                                    

\[=\frac{72126}{12021}\] hour = 6 hours.

 

 

 

If 4 workers can complete a work in 20 days, in how many days same work will be completed if 20 workers are employed?

 

Solution:                                                                                               

\[\because\]  4 workers can complete the work in 20 days.   

\[\therefore\] 1 worker can complete the work in  \[4\times 20\] days.   

\[\therefore\] 20 workers can complete the job in   \[\frac{4\times 20}{20}\] days. Thus 20 workers can complete the job in 4 days.    

 

 

To get more value we multiply.

To get less value we divide.

Value of units is found.

The value of the required unit is found.  

 

 

The unitary method is a technique in elementary algebra for solving a class of problems in variation.

Unitary method consists of altering one of the variables to a single unit, i.e. 1, and then performing the operation necessary to alter it to the desired value.

 

 

  

 

A factory produces 625149 dolls in 27 days. How many dolls can it produce in 18 days?

(a) 416788                                          

(b) 516766

(c) 416966                                           

(d) 416766

(e) None of these

 

Answer (d)

Explanation-

Number of dolls produced by the factory in 27 days = 625149.

Number of dolls produced by the factory in 1 day =   \[=\frac{625149}{27}\] .

Number of dolls produced by the factory in 18 days  =  \[=\frac{625149}{27}\times 18=416766\]  

 

Arwin earns Rs. 5404 in a week. How much money does he earn in 17 days?

(a) Rs. 3124                                            

(b) Rs.13127

(c) Rs. 3184                                             

(d) Rs. 10124

(e) None of these

 

Answer (a)

Explanation-

Arwin earns  Rs. 5404 in 7 days. His earning in 1 day                                                                                         

\[=\frac{5404}{7}\] His earning in 17 day                                                                               

\[=\frac{5404}{7}\times 17=\] Rs.13124
