Ques:- In a class 80% have passed english,70% passed Hindi 10% didnot passed either. If 144 students passed both. What is the total strength of the class.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:21:

let t = total no of students.. then
students who passed one or both subjects,
n(e U h) = n(e) + n(h) – n(e intersection h)
=> t = 0.8t + 0.7t – 144
=> t = 1.5t – 144
students who failed both subjects is 10% i.e. 0.1t
=>t-n(e U h) = 0.1t,
=>t -(1.5t – 144) = 0.1t
=>t- 1.5t- 0.1t = -144
=> -0.6t = -144
=>t = 240

Ques:- How many seconds will a 500 m long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 3 km/hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 63 km/hr?
Recent Answer : Added by Bhoomi Patel On 2021-08-19 17:24:21:

speed of the train respect to man
= (63 – 3) km/hr
= 60 km/hr
= 60 * 1000 / 3600 m/sec
= 50/3 m/sec

time
= distance/speed
= 500 * 3/ 50
= 30 sec

The ans is -20.
Solution:
A-1
B-2
C-3 D-4 …like wise till Z-26.
ELECTRICITY-5+12+5+3+20+18+9+3+9+20+25==129
GAS-7+1+9==27
ELECTRICITY-GAS=129-27-(Minus 2)=100
so
JACK-JILL=(10+1+3+11-(10+9+12+12)-(minus(2))==(-20)

Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:08:

x and y can be equal to 1..
If so,then he gets 1/1 of Rs.10 which is equal to 10 and
again 1/1 of Rs.10=Rs.10..so,he gets total of 20..and
returns 20..so,no gain and no loss..
If x=1,y=2,he gets, 5+20=25..and returns 20..so he may not
lose..
So,whatever be the values of x and y,only these two answers
are possible..
so its a)He never loses..
