Answer : 2. "5"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 5 Explanation: Let M, N and O worked together for x days. From the given data,M alone worked for 8 daysM,N,O worked for x daysN, O worked for 1 day But given thatM alone can complete the work in 18 daysN alone can complete the work in 36 daysO alone can complete the work in 54 days The total work can be the LCM of 18, 6, 54 = 108 units M's 1 day work = 108/18 = 6 unitsN's 1 day work = 108/36 = 3 unitsO's 1 day work = 108/54 = 2 units Now, the equation is8 x 6 + 11x + 5 x 1 = 10848 + 11x + 5 = 10811x = 103 - 4811x = 55x = 5 days. Hence, all M,N and O together worked for 5 days.

Answer : 4. "6"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 6 Explanation: Let us assume Amount be 100 Rs and we calculate in CI First year 60% of 100 = 60 amount (100+60) is 160 Second year 60% of 160 = 96 amount (160+96) is 256 Third year 60% of 256 =153.6 amount (256+153.6) is 409.6 Here the Amount of 100 Rs is quadrapled in 3 years. One year contains 2 half years Three year has 6 half years. Therefore, It takes 6 half years.
