An accountant is paid a certain sum for paying daily wages to freelancers as per their work on weekly basis. With the help of total money which she receives on weekly basis and the capital she is having with her, she can pay 90 freelancers for 52 weeks. If she is having 120 freelancers in order to design the full course content and the same amount which she receives along with capital she is having would suffice her for next 26 weeks, then how many freelancers she can afford for next 39 weeks?

An accountant is paid a certain sum for paying daily wages to freelancers as per their work on weekly basis. With the help of total money which she receives on weekly basis and the capital she is having with her, she can pay 90 freelancers for 52 weeks. If she is having 120 freelancers in order to design the full course content and the same amount which she receives along with capital she is having would suffice her for next 26 weeks, then how many freelancers she can afford for next 39 weeks? Correct Answer 138

⇒ C + 52W = 90 × 52 (I)

⇒ C + 26W = 120 × 26 (II)

⇒ Now, (I) – (II), we get,

⇒ 26W = 1560

⇒ W = 60

Putting the value of W in equation (I), we get,

⇒ C = 1560

Now the question asks how many freelancers can be maintained for 39 weeks,

⇒ Putting the value of W = 39 & C = 1560 in equation (1), we get,

⇒ 1560 + 52 × 39 = X × 26

⇒ X = 138

∴ She can afford 138 freelancers for 39 weeks

In mid-2012 I completed my first massive online open course, or MOOC, the kind widely offered by Coursera, EdX, Udacity and so on in partnership with different educational institutions. It was on clinical trials and ethical practices, offered by Johns Hopkins, on Coursera. This was shortly before the MOOC sensation hit India, and when Coursera, which was founded by two Stanford professors, itself was just a few months old. The MOOC bug had bit me. The course Id completed was mainly designed for health care professionals who would be involved in actual clinical trials, not college students who had no prior knowledge of that area. I decided to enroll in the course because it was the only biology related course open at the time. However, I did see hope in that sometime in the future Id be able to get a glimpse of what classes are like in the hallowed halls of major educational institutions around the world. By early 2013, Coursera and EdX had partnered with so many educational institutions and expanded their course offerings to include everything from food and nutrition to Greek mythology to business, that I was spoilt for choice. I spent hours going through course catalogues and poring over course descriptions, almost delirious with excitement at the fact that I was actually going to be able to take classes offered by universities I had only dreamt of attending.
The course the author completed on MOOC was related to which subject?
