Explanation

Signed by President Asif Ali Zardari on 21 October 2024.

About 26th amendment of the constitution of Pakistan.

Approved by Senate on 20 October 2024 (65 votes).

Approved by National Assembly on 21 October 2024 (225 votes).

Explanation

Step 1: Calculate the total work hours for four workers

Total work hours = 4 workers × 8 hours = 32 worker-hours

Step 2: Calculate the time required for six workers

Time = Total work hours / Number of workers

= 32 worker-hours / 6 workers

= 5.33 hours

= 5 hours 20 minutes

Explanation

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

= 250,000 × 0.12 × 4

= 250,000 × 0.48

= 120,000

Explanation

Let's directly calculate:

x - y = 5

x² - y² = 65

(x + y)(x - y) = 65

(x + y)(5) = 65

x + y = 13

Solving these equations:

x - y = 5

x + y = 13

Adding both: 2x = 18

x = 9

y = 4

Let's check:

9 - 4 = 5

9² - 4² = 81 - 16 = 65

Explanation

The fare for 18 kg over 12 km is calculated as follows:

Fare per kg per km = 24 / (12 × 36) = 1/18

For 18 kg over 12 km:

Fare = 18 × 12 × (1/18) = 12 rupees

Explanation

Let Soomal's age be x.

Saira's age = x + 6

Five years later:

x + 5 + x + 11 = 40

2x + 16 = 40

2x = 24

x = 12

Saira's age = 12 + 6 = 18

Explanation

Let Zubeda’s share = x → Then Farah’s share = x + 60

Total: x + (x + 60) = 440 ⇒ 2x + 60 = 440 ⇒ 2x = 380 ⇒ x = 190

So, Zubeda's share is Rs. 190, and Farah’s is Rs. 250.
