RE: fifty minutes ago if it was four times as many min...
Its very simple if you go to the level of time metrics and scaling it from 00:00 .One hour 60 minutesSo at 6'o clock it will be 360 minutes from 0000and at 3'o clock it will be 180 minutes from 0000lets take the unidentified value xso as per the statement:(360 -x ) - 50 180 + 4x(note that every value is in minutes - 6'o clock 360 and 3'o clock 180)solving the equation - 360 - x - 50 180 + 4x5x 360 - 50 -1805x 130x 26 minutesThis implies its 26 minutes to 6 ie 5:34 and the time 50 minutes back stood at 4:44or4 * 60 +44 284 minutes (4:44)which is equal to 180 + 4 * 26 284 minutes (substituting the value of x in 180 + 4x)

He retrieves the hatunder another bridge which is 1000 yards away down the stream from the first
Let the swimming speed of man be = a yds/min.speed of stream = b yds/min.Then the man swims at (a-b) yds/min. against the stream.and (a+b) yds/min in direction with the stream.Lets assume the man covered

A rich merchant had collected many gold coins. He did not want anybodyto know about them. One day, his wife asked, "How many gold coins do wehave?"After pausing a moment, he replied, "Well! If I divide the coins intotwo unequal numbers, then 37 times the difference between the twonumbers equals the difference between the squares of the two numbers."The wife looked puzzled. Can you help the merchant's wife by findingout how many gold coins?
37(x-y) =x^2-y^2. You no that x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y).So (x-y) cancels on both sides to give x+y=37.so sum of unequal halves=37 which is the req answer.
