✅ Answer: 2 units of cement

📖 Explanation: Current cement=6, sand=36. (6+x)/36 = 2/9 → 9(6+x)=72 → 54+9x=72 → 9x=18 → x=2.

🧂 Salt Water: 30:70 ratio, 1kg solution, evaporate 100g water. New ratio?

✅ Answer: 1:2

✅ Answer: 28

📖 Explanation: LCM(3,5,12)=60, LCM(3,5,21)=105. For both to be equal, N must contain 2²×7=28. LCM(3,5,12,28)=LCM(3,5,21,28)=420.

📏 Measuring Rod Puzzle: Five pieces of cloth: 15 m, 21 m, 36 m, 42 m, 48 m. All measurable in whole units. Largest possible rod length?

✅ Answer: 3 metres

📖 Explanation: GCD(15,21,36,42,48) = 3. The rod must divide all lengths exactly.

🔁 Two-digit number puzzle: When added to 27 gives its reverse. Find the numbers.

✅ Answer: 14, 25, 36, 47, 58, 69
