Question 1 Report

(a) Solve the simultaneous equation:

\[ \log_{10} x + \log_{10} y = 4 \]

\[ \log_{10} x + 2\log_{10} y = 3 \]

(b) The time, \(t\), taken to buy fuel at a petrol station varies directly as the number of vehicles \(V\) on queue and jointly varies inversely as the number of pumps \(P\) available in the station. In a station with 5 pumps, it took 10 minutes to fuel 20 vehicles. Find:

(i) the relationship between \(t\), \(P\) and \(V\); (ii) the time it will take to fuel 50 vehicles in the station with 2 pumps; (iii) the number of pumps required to fuel 40 vehicles in 20 minutes.
