Answer / suresh
let, x be man travel from A to B and
Y be man travel from B to A then
Average speed is (2XY)/(X+Y)
therefore ans = (2*4*5)/(4+5)
= 4.44mph

Answer / david
Imagine that the distance from A to B is 20 miles (lowest
common denominator of 4 and 5)
That means on the way there it took him 5 hours (20/4)
On the way back it took him 4 hours (20/5)
So in total it took him 9 hours (5+4) to travel 40 miles (20
miles each way).
So 40/9 = 4.444mph

Answer / bala
man A to B = 4mph
man B to A = 5mph
(4/100=4%, 5/100=5%)
average speed =4mph+5mph/200*100
=4.5mph.

There is a lucky draw held every day. If there is a winning number eg. 1876, then all possible numbers like 1867 ,1687,1768 etc are the numbers that match irrespective of the position of the digits. Thus all these numbers qualify fr the lucky draw prize. Assume there is no zero digit in any numbers. Write a program to show all the possible winning numbers if a "winningnumber" is passed as an argument to the function. i want a solution in c/c++ language
