Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36 Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3 Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35 Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15
Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres. Then, quantity of wine left in cask after 4 operations = [ x ❨ 1 - 8 ❩ 4 ] litres. x ∴ ❨ x(1 - (8/x))4 ❩ = 16 x 81 ⟹ ❨ 1 - 8 ❩ 4 = ❨ 2 ❩ 4 x 3 ⟹ ❨ x - 8 ❩ = 2 x 3 ⟹ 3x - 24 = 2x ⟹ x = 24.
