22) Let initially X grass was present there,and it is increasing by Y grass per day, then for the first condition We get,
X+24*y = 24*70 ----(1)
For the 2nd condition, we have,
X+60*Y = 60*30----(2) Now, On solving equation (1) and (2), we get
X = 1600 and
Y = 10 /3
Third Condition,
X+96*Y = 96 *N -----(3) [N = Number of Cows required]
Putting the values of X and Y in equation (3), We get
N = 20.

Q:29 Ans is 33%

Solution Let assume x% of people attend the party
Out of x 35% is men so, x*35/100=7x/20 men and remaining 13x/20 is women
Now out of 7x/20 20% men are attend the party so, (7x/20)*(20/100)=7x/100
Now out of 13x/20 40% women are attend the party so, (13x/20)*(40/100)=13x/50

Total people attend the party: Men+ Women 7x/100+13x/50=33x/100
% of people attend the party : (33x/100)*(1/x)(100)=33%

ans is 33%

33) first women sit in any of four seats = 4 ways

2nd women sit in any of the 3seats = 3 ways

So total = 4*3 = 12 .

Remaining 6 chairs are there then 1 men can sit in any of 6

2nd can sit in any of 5

3rd can sit in any of 4

6*5*4=120

Then total = 120*12 = 1440

21) product of HCF and LCM=product of the number
then, product of the number=19*1140
Let 19a and 19b be the numbers.
19a*19b= 19*1140
ab= 19*1140/19*19=60
if ab=60 then,(a,b)=(1,60),(2,30),(3,20),(4,15),(5,12)&(6,10)
since a and b are co-prime then,(a,b)=(1,60),(4,15),(5,12)
Hence number of such pair = 3a

21.) hcf *LCM=multiple of number =a*b;
bcoz hcf number is common in both number;
a=19*x; b=19*y;
19*1140=19*19*x*y;
x*y=60;
as both number is >19;
so
(19*5,19*12) or (19*3,19*20) is possible
multiply above both possiblity by 19 to get the final numbers.

39. total marbels in a jar is 2+3+4=9 marbels
for nikki probability will be = (1 green marbel from 4 green marbels)/(1 marbel from 9 marbels)=4c1/9c1=4/9.
for tom now marbels become 8 so probability will be =3c1/8c1=3/8.
now total probability = 4/9+3/8
