Question : If $ABC \cong PQR$ and $\angle ABC = (x + 60)°$, $\angle PQR = (85 – 4x)°$, and $\angle RPQ = (3x + 65)°,$ then the value of $\angle ABC$ in degree is:
Option 1: 15°
Option 2: 5°
Option 3: 45°
Option 4: 65°
Correct Answer: 65°
Solution : $\angle ABC$ = ($x$ + 60)°, $\angle PQR = (85 - 4x)°$ If $\triangle$ABC ≅ $\triangle$PQR, ⇒ $\angle ABC =\angle PQR$ ⇒ $(x + 60)° = (85 -4x)°$ ⇒ $x+4x = 85 - 60$ ⇒ $5x = 25$ ⇒ $x = 5$ $\therefore$ $\angle ABC
Question : A, B, and C can do a piece of work in 11 days, 20 days, and 55 days respectively. If B works daily and is supported by A and C on alternate days beginning with A, then in how many days will the work be finished?
Option 1: $10$
Option 2: $9 \frac{1}{3}$
Option 3: $12$
Option 4: $8$
Correct Answer: $9 \frac{1}{3}$
Solution : A, B, and C can do a piece of work in 11 days, 20 days, and 55 days respectively. Total work = LCM(11, 20 and 55) = 220 Efficiency of A = $\frac{220}{11}$ = 20 Efficiency of B = $\frac{220}{20}$ = 11 Efficiency of
