Answer:

48 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the complete question is "The ratio of ages of kissi and esinam is 3:5 and that of esinam and lariba is 3:5. The sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years. whats the age difference between oldest and youngest ?"

It is given that

Kissi : Esinam = 3:5 = 9:15

Esinam : Lariba = 3:5 = 15:25

So, the combined ratio is Kissi : Esinam : Lariba = 9:15:25

Let ages of Kissi, Esinam, Lariba are 9x, 15x and 25x.

Sum of ages of all 3 is 147 years.

9x+15x+25x=147

49x=147

x=3

The value of x is 3. So, the age of all three are

Kissi=9x=9(3)=27

Esinam=15x=15(3)=45

Lariba=25x=25(3)=75

Since Lariba is oldest and Kissi is youngest, therefore, the difference between their ages is

75-27=48

Hence, difference between oldest and youngest is 48 years.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

It will take 5 hours and 5 minutes to fill the tank

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the time taken to fill the tap

Let us have the rate per hour

A fills in 6 hours; so the fraction filled in an hour is 1/6

B fills in 8 hours, so the fraction filled in an hour is 1/8

C empties in 10 hours, so the fraction removed per hour is 1/10

So factoring the supply and removal, where removal is on a negative basis

we have it that in an hour, the fraction retained is;

1/6 + 1/8 - 1/10

= (20 + 15 - 12)/120

= 23/120

So this is the fraction retained per hour

The number of hours it will take to have a whole is simply the reciprocal of this fraction

That would simply be 120/23 = 5 5/23

5 hours and 5 minutes
