The last person covered 120.71 meters.
It is given that the platoon and the last person moved with
uniform speed. Also, they both moved for the identical
amount of time. Hence, the ratio of the distance they
covered – while person moving forward and backword – are
equal.
Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first
person, the platoon moved X meters forward.
Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)
meters whereas the platoon moved X meters.
Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-
X)] X meters whereas the platoon moved (50-X) meters.
Now, as the ratios are equal,
(50+X)/X = X/(50-X)
(50+X)*(50-X) = X*X
Solving, X=35.355 meters
Thus, total distance covered by the last person
= (50+X) + X
= 2*X + 50
= 2*(35.355) + 50
= 120.71 meters
Note that at first glance, one might think that the total
distance covered by the last person is 100 meters, as he
ran the total lenght of the platoon (50 meters) twice.
TRUE, but that’s the relative distance covered by the last
person i.e. assuming that the platoon is stationary.
999,919 = 991 × 1,009
Number of cats= 991
Number of mice killed by each cat=1,009

let no of total crockery =x
2x/3 crockery broken
x/2 handle broken
x/4 both brocken
2x/3+x/2-x/4 = no of total broken(crockery or handle)
=11x/12
unbroken =x-11x/12=x/12
x/12=2(given in question)
x=24

190, 166, 145, 128, 112, 100, 91
128 is incorrect. There is a difference of multiples of 3 in the number pattern, which starts at 24 and reduces by 3 each time. Therefore the correct pattern would read 190, 166, 145, 127, 112, 100, 91.
this would leave the pattern with differences in the pattern 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9. The next number in the pattern would be 6 lower than 91. 91 – 6 = 85. Then 85 -3 – 82, followed by 82 – 0 = 82. After this, if -3 were taken the pattern would start to rise so 82 – – 3 = 85.
Suppose that total 100 employees are in company….. out of that 35 are man and remaining 65 are women.
20% of man 35 = 20*35/100
40% of women = 40*65/100
total employees = 7+26 = 33 out of 100
so, Ans = 33 %

find out what is the problem and taking the bad out always works.
