Sandeepanisha - The above given two questions are very similar and I have solved them using two different methods - algebra and assuming a number.
You can do both using both methods. I encourage you to try.

Hey indu1954,
Please send me the link of the actual question or put up a screenshot. It is difficult to guess the actual meaning of the question if one rewrites it in their own words. Thanks.


1 pound sugar = t pounds substitute
p pound sugar = tp pounds substitute

Donuts r pounds - need sugar p pounds (= substitute tp pounds)
Donuts 1 pound - need substitute tp/r pounds

Answer (A)

In 1 hr, car A travels 50 miles. Now distance between car A and car B is 490 - 50 = 440 miles

This distance is covered by both together car A at 50 mph and car B at 60 mph

When they meet, time taken = 440/(50 + 60) = 4 hrs
In 4 hrs, car A would have traveled = 50 *4 = 200 miles

In all, car A traveled 200 + 50 = 250 miles

Now let's form the equation-> Total students= Students-French + Students-Only English + (Students neither French, nor English)
250 = 96 + (80-x) + 3x
x= 37 (A)

Show more

Ratio of speed of jogger & walker = 10:6
Time taken to travel same distance for jogger & walker = 6:10 = 3:5

This 3 corresponds to 10 so multiplier is 10/3.
So actual value of 5 is 5*10/3 = 50/3 mins

Hey sandeepansiha121,

Total = n(A) + n(B) - Both + Neither

Assuming, number of people who learn Both = x, number of people who learn Neither = 3x

250 = 80 + 96 - x + 3x
x = 37

Answer (A)

What is the source of this question? It is not very high quality. Each statement independently tells us that the line passes through (0, 0). So the line can be any line with non zero slope passing through the origin or it can be the x axis itself. But what would we consider the x intercept of x axis?
Please send a screenshot of the question and official solution.

Hey Sandeepanisha,

I am not sure what I am missing in your questions but something is not right.
The link given above is locked because it is in the wrong forum but I did get to see the question.
(Put problem solving questions in PS forum and Data sufficiency questions in DS forum)

ABC is a 30-60-90 triangle with sides 5 - 5*sqrt(3) - 10
EDC will be another 30-60-90 but here is the thing - it can have varying area. Say E is very very close to B. Then area of triangle EDC is much smaller than area of ABC.
But say length of EC is same as length of AC. Then the two areas will be same. So the difference in the areas will vary.

Do put up the official explanation of this question and let me know the source.
