Ques:- There N stations on a railroad. After adding X stations on the rail route 46 additional tickets have to be printed. Find N and X
Recent Answer : Added by Rishabh Gupta On 2022-03-09 16:33:47:

Each PAIR of stations means a PAIR of tickets (A to B and B to A)

2(old stations)(new stations) + 2(new stations)(new stations – 1) = 46

(N * X) + (X * (X – 1)) = 23

factoring ___ X (N + X – 1) = 23

23 is a prime number with only two factors, 1 and 23

so N = 23 and X = 1

Ques:- Currently, the age of a father is three times that of his son. 2.5 years from now, age of the father becomes 2.5 times that of the son. The age of son currently is?
Recent Answer : Added by Bhagirathi H On 2022-09-15 16:37:05:

Fathers before age=3*before sons age—-(1)
After 2.5 years..
Fathers before age+2.5 years =2.5*sons age—-(2)
Substitute (1) in (2),
3*sons before age+2.5 years=2.5*sons age
0.5*sons age=2.5 years
Sons before age=5years
So current age after 2.5 years,
Sons before age+2.5 =5+2.5=7.5 years

Ques:- Two trains are on same track and they are coming toward each other. The speed of first train is 50 KMs/h and the speed of second train is 70 KMs/h. A bee starts flying between the trains when the distance between two trains is 100 KMs. The bee first flies from first train to second train. Once it reaches the second train, it flies back to the second train ? and so on until trains collide. Calculate the total distance traveled by the bee. Speed of bee is 40 KMs/h. .

Answer: 66.67 km approx.

Solution:

Let the first train A move at u km/h.
Let the second train B move at v km/h.
Let the distance between two trains be d km
Let the speed of bee be b km/h
Therefore, the time taken by trains to collide = d/(u+v)
Now putting all the known values into the above equation, we get,

u = 50 km/hr
v = 70 km/hr
d = 100 km
b = 80 km/hr

Therfore, the total distance travelled by bee
= b*d/(u+v)
= 80 * 100/(50+70)
= 66.67 km (approx)

Ques:- A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 sec. What is the length of the train?
Recent Answer : Added by Solver On 2021-08-28 11:27:19:

speed = distence / time
60km/hr=distance / 9 sec
km / hr to m / s==> 60*1000 / 1* 3600 = 16.667
16.667*9 = distance
150 m is the answer
