Answer : 3. "3.75 km"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 3.75 km Explanation: Let 'd' be the distance between A and BK -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hoursL -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hoursWe know that, 10 min = 1/6 hoursThus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes. => 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6=> 4d/90 = 1/6Thus,d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km. hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.

Answer: A) Rs. 80 Explanation: The servant worked for 9 days instead of 12 days, he should receive 9/12 of his total payment Let the price of 1 shirt be Rs. S  i.e., 3/4 (400 + S).

Answer : 1. "0.625"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 0.625 Explanation: 5/8 is Nothing but to divide 5 into 8 parts.     As 5 is smaller than 8, the quotient starts with a decimal point to make 5 as 50 to be divisible by 8. (0.)     Now 50 goes for 6 times in 8 leaving a remainder 2. (0.6)      Again 2 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 2 becomes 20.      Now 20 goes for 2 times in 8 leaving a remainder 4. (0.62)      Again 4 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 4 becomes 40.     Now 40 goes for 5 times in 8 leaving a remainder 0. (0.625)     Therefore, the decimal value of 58 is 0.625.   Now find a decimal value of 1117 and Discuss your at Discuss.
