Aman takes 5 days more than Bhanu to do a certain job and 9 days more than Pankaj. Aman and Bhanu together can do the job in the same time as Pankaj. How many days Aman alone would take to do it?
Let Aman=A days; Bhanu=A-5, Pankaj=A-9. From 'Aman+Bhanu = Pankaj's time': 1/A+1/(A-5)=1/(A-9); putting A=15 gives 1/15+1/10=1/6=1/(15-9), which holds, so Aman alone takes 15 days.

LR=2b²/a=8 and e²=9/5=1+b²/a² give b²/a²=4/5; solving gives a²=25, b²=20, so the hyperbola is x²/25 − y²/20 = 1.

The shadow of the pole becomes 80 m longer when the altitude of the sun changes from 45° to 30°. Then the height of the pole is:
Extra shadow = h(cot30°−cot45°) = h(√3−1) = 80, so h = 80/(√3−1) = 40(√3+1) m after rationalizing.

A sum of money is to be distributed among P, Q, R, S in the ratio of 6:2:5:3. If R gets ₹ 2000 more than S, then what is Q's share?
R:S = 5:3, the gap of 2 parts equals ₹2000, so 1 part = ₹1000. Q's share is 2 parts = ₹2000.

Kamal had 200 toffees. He gave 5% toffees to Ram, 15% toffees to Aman and one-fourth of the toffees to Gopal. How many toffees are left with Kamal after the distribution?
Ram got 5% = 10, Aman 15% = 30, Gopal one-fourth = 50; total given = 90, so 200 − 90 = 110 toffees are left.

Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements. Statement: No singer is director Some directors are teachers Some teachers are students Conclusion: (I) Some singers are students (II) Some directors are students
Marked answer is II. NOTE (doubt): logically both links are weak — 'Some directors are teachers' + 'Some teachers are students' join two particular (I-type) statements, so the middle term 'teachers' is not distributed and no valid conclusion about directors–students can be drawn; strictly 'Neither follows' is correct. As marked, II is taken to follow.
