Now, If B does the work only half a day daily
B will take twice the total days to
momplete the whole work alone
Now No. of days taken by B

So,

Now days taken by (A + B) together to do the

So, days taken by B to do the whole work

Distance travelled by Sonu and Monu

In the same time,
Ratio of distance travelled by Sonu &

Similarly,
In the same time,
Ratio of distance travelled by Monu &

So,

So, When Sonu travels 400 m, Bablu will

In 400 m race between Sonu & Bablu,

93.(C) Required ratio = 250 : 75 = 10 : 3
94.(B) Age group 15 - 20

Total area of the square field

= (44 44)m2 = 1936m2
At the rate of Re. 1 per sq. mtr; the total
cost would be Rs. 1936,
but the total cost = Rs. 3536
Difference = Rs. 3536 Rs. 1936
= Rs. 1600
Rs. 1600 would be the extra cost on the
flower bed and as the extra cost on the
flower bed is Rs. 1 per sq. mtr.
Area of flower bed = 1600 sq. mtr.
