Answer & Explanation Answer:- 1 Explanation :- Let’s assume the total number of workers be x
x = 50 kmph.
y = 30 kmph.
Average speed, = [(2 * 50 * 30) / (50 + 30)] = 37.5 km/h.
1. 21 years
2. 20 years
3. 18 years
4. 19 years
Average Age of family = (57/3) = 19 years.
1. 12
2. 11
3. 13
4. 14
Therefore,
63x + 20 + 2 = 65x
2x = 22
x = 11.
1. 21
2. 22
3. 23
4. 24
Therefore,
8000 x = (12000 * 7) + 6000 (x – 7)
2000x = 42000
x = 21.
