 82. In the Sunday bazzar, Jamuna sells her lemons at Rs. 0.50 for two. Her neighbor Seema has a little smaller lemons; she sells hers at Rs. 0.50 for three. After a while, when both ladies have the same number of lemons left, Seema is called away. She asks her neighbour to take care of her goods. To make things simple, Jamuna puts all lemons in one big pile, and starts selling five lemons per one rupee. When Seema returns, at the end of the day, all lemons have been sold. But when they start dividing the money, there appears to be a shortage of Rs. 3.50. Supposing they divide the money equally, how much does Jamuna lose with this deal? (a) Rs. 10.50 (b) Rs. 11.50 (c) Rs. 42.00 (d) Rs. 52.50 

Question from 2011 IIFT:

An old lady engaged a domestic help on the condition that she would pay him Rs 90 and a gift after service of one year. He served only 9 months and received the gift along with Rs 65. Find the value of the gift.


I did it using an approach like:

In 3 months that he didn't work, he would have got Rs 25 extra.

So in 12 months he would be getting Rs 25*4 = Rs 100. But he is getting (acc to problem) only Rs 90. So value of gift is Rs 10. (OA)

Anyone knows the equation approach?

 What is the range of values of k,such that f(x) = (kx²+2(k+1) x+ (9k+4)) / (x²-8x+17) is always negative?
