hospital in B on each day = 150 * 30 = 4500 * 20 = 40 days
Time taken by C alone to complete the work = 3
11. Answer: B * 20 = 60 days
1500 * (100 + x)/100 * (100 – x + 15)/100 = 1620 1/A + 1/C + 1/D = 1/16
(100 + x) * (115 – x) = 162000/15 1/40 + 1/60 + 1/D = 1/16
11500 - 100x + 115x – x2 = 10800 (3 + 2)/120 + 1/D = 1/16

x * 14 * 5/100 + x * ((1 + 25/100)2 – 1) + x * 20 * 13x = 13000
3/100 = 7450 x = Rs.1000
7x/10 + x * ((125/100)2 – 1) + 3x/5 = 7450 Sum of the initial investment of A and B = (4 + 5)
7x/10 + 9x/16 + 3x/5 = 7450 * 1000 = Rs.9000
(56x + 45x + 48x)/80 = 7450

x = Rs.4000 1/4 * (M – 3) = S – 4
M – 3 = 4S – 16
13. Answer: D M = 4S – 13
Ratio of the time taken by A, B and C = F = M + S – 7 = (4S – 13) + S – 7 = 5S – 20
1/6:1/3:1/4 = 2:4:3 F + M + S = 29 * 3
(1/2x + 1/4x + 1/3x) = 13/240 5S – 20 + 4S – 13 + S = 87
