Ques:- A car is travelling at a uniform speed. The driver sees a milestone showing a 2-digit number. After travelling for an hour the driver sees another milestone with the same digits in reverse order. After another hour the driver sees another milestone containing the same two digits. What is the average speed of the driver.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 15:13:36:

Let 10’splace digit is x and unit’s place digit y

First milestone : 10x+y
Second milestone : 10y+x
Third milestone: 100x+y

Since the speed is uniform so
Distance covered in first Hr = Distance covered in Second Hr
(10y+x)-(10x+y) = (100x+y)-(10y+x)
After solving, we get —-> y=6x but since x and y are digits so only possible combination is x=1 and y=6,
So average speed = 45 KM/HR

Ques:- Two pipes can separately fill a tank in 20 and 30 hours respectively. Both the pipes are opened to fill the tank but when the tank is full, a leak develops in the tank through which one-third of water supplied by both the pipes goes out. What is the total time taken to fill the tank?
Ques:- A boat running downstream covers a distance of 16 km in 2 hours while for covering the same distance upstream, it takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Recent Answer : Added by Anonymous On 2021-08-14 13:06:13:

Let:
1. speed of boat in still water = x
2. speed of stream = y;

Then net speed of boat upstream = x – y = 16km / 4 h = 4kmph
Net speed of boat downstream = x + y = 16 / 2 = 8kmph

Now solve for x to get x = 6kmph in still water.

Ques:- Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet. Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each. The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?
Recent Answer : Added by Vivek Bharadwaj On 2022-08-14 16:33:40:

Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet.
Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each.
The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?

Solution:-
Area of Square is 576 sq ft.
so, the length of side = root(576) = 24 ft

Since the fencing would be done on the perimeter, we would need that
formula is 4*side = 96 ft.

Number of Fence post needed = 96/3 = 32

1 Fence post cost = 32
32 Fence Post cost = 32 * 32 = 1024

Fencing cost = Perimeter * fencing cost = 96 * 4.5 = 432

Total Cost = 432 + 1024 = 1456

Ques:- Two trains of equal length when moving in opposite direction takes 5 sec. to cross each other completely and when moving in same direction takes 15 sec. Find the ratio of their speed.
Recent Answer : Added by Deven Sharma On 2023-05-31 18:18:48:

Let’s assume the length of each train is ‘L’ and the speeds of the two trains are ‘V₁’ and ‘V₂’ respectively.

When the trains are moving in the opposite direction, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. The total distance they need to cover is the sum of their lengths. Since they cross each other completely in 5 seconds, we can set up the following equation:

(V₁ + V₂) × 5 = 2L

When the trains are moving in the same direction, their relative speed is the difference between their individual speeds. The total distance they need to cover is the difference between their lengths. Since they cross each other completely in 15 seconds, we can set up the following equation:

(V₁ – V₂) × 15 = 2L

Now, let’s solve these equations to find the ratio of their speeds.

From the first equation, we have:
(V₁ + V₂) × 5 = 2L
V₁ + V₂ = (2L) / 5

From the second equation, we have:
(V₁ – V₂) × 15 = 2L
V₁ – V₂ = (2L) / 15

Let’s add these two equations together:
V₁ + V₂ + V₁ – V₂ = (2L) / 5 + (2L) / 15
2V₁ = (6L + 2L) / 15
2V₁ = (8L) / 15
V₁ = (4L) / 15

So, the speed of the first train is (4L) / 15.

Now, let’s substitute this value back into the first equation to find V₂:
(4L) / 15 + V₂ = (2L) / 5
V₂ = (2L) / 5 – (4L) / 15
V₂ = (6L – 4L) / 15
V₂ = (2L) / 15

Therefore, the speed of the second train is (2L) / 15.

The ratio of their speeds is given by:
(V₁ / V₂) = ((4L) / 15) / ((2L) / 15)
(V₁ / V₂) = 4L / 2L
(V₁ / V₂) = 2

So, the ratio of their speeds is 2:1.

Recent Answer : Added by Nikhil Ambigar On 2022-01-08 16:05:06:

let x be sum.
SI of 18% for 1 year= x*18/100=0.18x;
SI of 18% for 2 years is 0.36x;

SI of 12% for 1 year= x*12/100=0.12x;
SI of 12% for 2 years is 0.24x;

Given, 0.36x-0.24x=840
0.12x=840
x=840/0.12=7000.

Ques:- If a salesman’s average is a new order every other week, he will break the office record of the year. However, after 28 weeks, he is six orders behind schedule. In what proportion of the remaining weeks does he have to obtain a new order to break the record?
Recent Answer : Added by narendra On 2021-12-25 15:45:39:

Assume there are 52 weeks in one year.
Since he supposed to have a new order for every two weeks, he
needs 52/2 = 26 orders to break the office record.

Now after 28 weeks,he has got only 28/2 -6 = 8 orders.

Hence,he needs 26-8 = 18 new orders in the remaining 24= 52-28 weeks to break the office record.

Compute 24 orders/18 weeks = 4/3 orders/week ,
we see that averagely he has a new order for
every 4/3 weeks in the remaining weeks to break the office record.
