A. 112
B. 116
C. 124
D. 148
View Answer
Ans : A
Explanation: Let the numbers be 7x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F= x. So, x=4

Then (600x+400y)/1000 = 22.60
600x+400y = 22600
600(y-4) +400y = 22600 ; x=y-4
y=25 & x=21.
8. A certain number of men can finish a piece of work in 90 days. If however there were 10 men less it will take 10 days more for the work to be finished. How many men were there originally?
