⇒ (x−y) + (x+y) = 3 4 … (i)
Now, correct answer = 80 × 434 = 34720 12 14
So, required answer = x + y = 2 + 0 = 2 ⇒ + = 3 … (ii)
(x−y) (x+y)

52. (c): From the LCM method, After solving both equations
(x − y) = Upstream speed
(x + y) = down stream speed
x → Speed of boat in still water
y → Speed of current
{
So, we have total work = 120 The value of
4 day’s work by (A + B +C) = (6 + 5 + 4) × 4 = 60 x = 10
6 day’s work by alone ‘c’ = 4 × 6 = 24 y=4
So, remaining work alone by (B + C) =
120−(60+24)

Let principal = x
So, total days = [4 +6 + 4] = 14 days
So, interest = (x – 250)
