Solution:

14 horses and 8 men.<br><br>If, A --> men and B --> horses<br>
So, A + B = 22 and 2A + 4B = 72<br>2 (22 - B) + 4 B = 72<br>44 - 2 B + 4 B = 72<br>44 + 2 B = 72<br>2 B = 72 - 44 = 28<br>B = 14 (horses)<br><br>
So, there are in the stable 8 men and 14 horses.

Solution:

99+9/9 = 100

Solution:

15dollars

The cost is equal to 3dollars for each letter in the fruits name.

Solution:

4

5/2 = 3 and 10/3 = x
(10/3)/(5/2) = 20/15 = 4/3
So x/3 = 4/3
x=4

Solution:

Only Statements 1 and 3 are true. the number is 499849.

7072 = 499849
499849 < 500000

Solution:

The digits of the requested two numbers obviously form descending sequences. Furthermore, if you have two pairs of numbers with equal sums, the pair of which the numbers have the smallest absolute difference, is the one of which the numbers have the largest product. Using this knowledge, the two numbers can easily be constructed by placing the digits one by one, starting with 9 and ending with 1:<br>9<br><br>8 -> 96<br><br>87 -> 964<br><br>875 -> 9642<br><br>8753 -> 9642<br><br>87531<br>Conclusion: the requested two numbers are 9642 and 87531 (and the product of these two numbers is 843973902).

Solution:

He hears the bird singing on step 33. He picks up the pebble on the 21st step and tosses it on the 22nd step. The remaining 27 steps are taken three at a time which is 9 pac

Solution:

54

It takes 3 hours for the Simpson & Stewie to meet.
so the eagle flies for 3 hours at 18 Km/hr = 54 kms

Solution:

The number is: 12345679
12345679 * 9 = 111111111
12345679 * 18 = 222222222
12345679 * 27 = 333333333
And so on...

Solution:

Let the length of the bridge be x meters.
Running towards the train, Charles covers 0.5x-10 meters in the time that the train travels x-4 meters. Running away from the train, Charles covers 0.5x+2 meters in the time that the train travels 2x-8 meters.

Because their speeds are constant, the following holds:

(0.5x-10) / (x-4) = (0.5x+2) / (2x-8)
which can be rewritten to
0.5x2 - 24x + 88 = 0
Using the abc formula we find that x=44, so the railway-bridge has a length of 44 meters.
