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.
Burn Rope One first, it will burn in 30 mins.Mark 30 mins and at the end of 30 mins now burn second rope from both sides (15 mins it will take ),and simultaneously burn third and last rope until it is half left.30+15= 45 , Remaining time 7.5 mins.By this time last rope is burnt half ,and now burn it from both sides as well it will exhaust in 7.5 mins. 30+15+7.5=52.5 measured.

Slab = 6(x) where x is each step
Slab = 5(x + 3)
6(x) = 5(x + 3)
6(x) = 5(x) + 15
x = 15 inches
So 6(x) = 6(15) = 90
Check: 5( x + 3) = 5(18) = 90
Slab size is 90 inches
let the average of 25 person be x
total age of a person=average×no.of person
total age of 25 person=X×25
=25X
when a new person of 46kg come average decrease by 5kg(X-5)
Total age of 26 person =25x+46
Average age of 26 person=X-5
A/Q
.25X+46=26(X-5)
25X+46=26X-130
26X-25X=130+46
X =176
hence the av. of 25 person be 176kg

Time taken to fill repaired cistern = 12 mins
In 1 min, pipe will fill = 1/12
Time taken to fill cistern with leak = 12 + 18 = 30 mins
In 1 min, it will fill = 1/30
Consider the leak as an outlet pipe, so
1/30 = 1/12 – [ in 1 min how much the outlet pipe leaks ]
= 1/12 – 1/30
= 5/60 – 2/60 = 3/60 = 1/20
Therefore, it will take 20 mins for the leak to empty the cistern

First we need to find out LCM of 2,3,5
that is 30,,,
then add 30 to 6 we get 36…
then divide it by 2 we get 18..
so 18 would be written interms of binay as 10010

G.c.d=num1 *num2/lcm
Num1=20
Gcd=5
Lcm=60
5=(20*num2)/60
Num2= 5*60/20
Num2=15
(d) none of these.
60*5/18*9=150
