Sum of the weight of A, B, C and D = 75 × 4 = 300 kg
and average weight of A, B, C, D and E = 71 kg
sum of the weight of A, B, C, D and E
= 71 × 5 = 355 kg
weight of E = 355 – 300 = 55 kg
weight of F = 55 + 6 = 61 kg
Now, average weight of F, B, C, D and E = 72 kg
Sum of the weight of F, B, C, D and E = 72 × 5 = 360 kg
B + C + D = 360 – 55 – 61 = 244 kg.
Weight of A = 300 – 244 = 56 kg.

Given, width of the path = 4 m
Area of the path = 432 m^2
and length of rectangular plot = (x + 2) m
2 × [4 (x + 2) + 4x – 2 × 4 × 4] = 432 m^2
8 (x + 2 + x – 8) = 432 m2
8 (2x – 6) = 432
16 (x – 3) = 432 x = 30 m
Area of plot = x × (x + 2) = 30 × 32 = 960 m^2

12 men × 36 days = 18 women × 60 days
2m = 5w
8m = 20w
(8m + 20w) × 20 days + xw × 4 days = 18w × 60 days
40 × 20 + x × 4 = 18 × 60 4x = 1080 – 800
x = 280/4
= 70 women

Let distance be LCM of speeds = 192 km
Time taken by bus without stoppage = 192/64 = 3hr
Time taken by bus with stoppage = 192/48 = 4hr
Bus stops in 4 hours for 60 min
Bus stops in 1 hr for 60/4
= 15 min

Let the investment by Raghu be x
Mohit = x * 90/100 = 9x/10
Pradeep = 9x/10 * 120/100 = 108x/100
x + 9x/10 + 108x/100 = 17880
x = Rs. 6000
