Q1255: 5 men and 2 boys working together can do four times as much work as a man and a boy. Working capacities of a woman and a boy are in the ratio:

Explanation

We are given:

5 men and 2 boys = 4 times (1 man + 1 boy)

Step 1: Let work capacities be M (man) and B (boy)

Work done by 5M + 2B = 4 (M + B)
Expanding: $5 M + 2 B = 4 M + 4 B$
Rearranging: $5 M - 4 M = 4 B - 2 B$

So, the ratio of a man’s work to a boy’s work = 2:1.

Answer: (b) 2:1

Q1258: A man borrows Rs 2550 to be paid back with compound interest at 4% per annum in 2 equal yearly installments. What is the value of each installment?

Explanation

We use the formula for equal annual installments under compound interest:

Let the installment be Rs. x
Principal (P) = ₹2550
Rate (R) = 4% = 0.04
Time (T) = 2 years
Installments are paid at the end of each year.

Using the formula for compound installment repayment:

$P = frac{x}{(1 + r)^1} + frac{x}{(1 + r)^2}$

Substitute values:

$2550 = frac{x}{1.04} + frac{x}{(1.04)^2}$ $2550 = frac{x}{1.04} + frac{x}{1.0816}$

Take LCM or solve directly:

$2550 = x (\frac{1}{1.04} + \frac{1}{1.0816})$

$2550 = x left(frac{1}{1.04} + frac{1}{1.0816} right)$ $2550 = x (0.9615 + 0.9246) = x (1.8861)$

$2550 = x (0.9615 + 0.9246) = x (1.8861)$ $x = frac{2550}{1.8861} ≈ 1352$
