A 6 cm long cigarette burns up in 15 minutes if no puff is taken.For every puff, it burns three times as fast during the duration of the puff.If the cigarette burns itself in 13 minutes, then how many puffs has the smoker taken if the average puff lasted 3 seconds?

A 6 cm long cigarette burns up in 15 minutes if no puff is taken.For every puff, it burns three times as fast during the duration of the puff.If the cigarette burns itself in 13 minutes, then how many puffs has the smoker taken if the average puff lasted 3 seconds? Correct Answer 20

Let the number of puffs abe,$$3x \times \left( {3 \times \frac{1}{{150}}} \right) + \left( {13 \times 60 - 3x} \right) \times \frac{1}{{150}} = 6$$On solving, We get, x = 20 puffs.

Questions below followed by three quantities. Find the relationship between them. Quantity I: In a class with a certain number of students if a teacher weighing 78 kg is added, then average weight of class is increased by 2 kg. If one more teacher weighing 66 kg is added, then the average weight of the class increases by 3.5 kg over the original average. What is the original average weight (in kg) of the class?
