12 ⇒ 4a – 1 = 19 ⇒ 4a = 20
So, the work done by 1 man and 1 woman in one day ⇒ a = 5
(b) Now, p(x) = x4 – 2x3 + 3x2 – 5x + 15 – 7
1 1 7
= + = = x4 – 2x3 + 3x2 – 5x + 8
3 4 12
So, when p(x) is divided by x + 2, the remainder will
1 be p(–2)
\ Work done by 1 man and 1 woman in day
4 \ p(–2) = (–2)4 – 2(–2)3 + 3(–2)2 – 5(–2) + 8
7 1 7 = 16 + 16 + 12 + 10 + 8
= × =
12 4 48 = 62
7 41
\ Remaining work = 1 − = 48. (B)
48 48
49. (C)
1
Now, 1 boy’s 1 day work = 50. (C)
