since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits , so the ten ' s digit is greater than the unit ' s digit . let the ten ' s and unit ' s digits be 2 x and x respectively . then , ( 10 * 2 x + x ) - ( 10 x + 2 x ) = 36 9 x = 36 x = 4 required difference = ( 2 x + x ) - ( 2 x - x ) = 2 x = 8 . answer a

machine m , n , o working simultaneously machine m can produce x units in 3 / 4 of the time it takes machine n to produce the same amount of units . machine n can produce x units in 2 / 7 the time it takes machine o to produce that amount of units . if all 3 machines are working simultaneously , what fraction of the total output is produced by machine n ?
now ultimately the speed of every machine is given with respect to mach o . so lets assume the speed of o , say 12 hrs to make x units ( assuming 6 because we can see we will need to divide by 3 and 4 mach o makes x units in 12 hrs so , mach n = 2 / 7 of o = 2 / 7 * 12 = 24 / 7 hrs to make x units and mach m = 3 / 4 of n = 3 / 4 * 24 / 7 = 1 / 6 hrs to make x units no they are running simultaneously . lets see how much each mach makes in 1 hr mach o = x / 12 units mach n = 7 / 24 units mach m = x / 6 units in 1 hr , together they make - x / 12 + 7 / 24 + x / 6 = 13 / 24 so what ratio of this has mach n made ?
