Ques:- Two trains of length 120 m and 280 m are running towards each other on parallel lines at 42 kmph and 30 kmph respectively. In what time will they be clear of each other from the moment they meet?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 18:55:02:

I solve it as the 280m train being stationary… and the 120m train moving at (42+30) = 72kph…. or 20mps

The front of the train will have to go 280m to pass the stationary train plus another 120m for the backs to clear… that is 400m in all.

The time to travel 400m at 20mps is 20secs

Ques:- 1. A plane travels 695km with wind and 498km aginst the wind in same time.The speed of wind is 21km/hr. Find the speed of plane?

127.179(app)
given distance of the train along the wind is 695
and againt the wind is 498
and time = distance/speed
as we know that time is equal in both the cases hence equate
695/s1=498/s2———–(1);
where s1=speed of the plane + speed of the wind
and s2=speed of the plane -speed of the wind
given that speed of the wind is 21k/h
s1=sp+21
s2=sp-21
substitu in eq 1
we get the answer as 27.17(app)

Ques:- To 15 lts of water containing 20% alcohol, we add 5 lts of pure water. What is % alcohol.
Recent Answer : Added by Shashank Panddey On 2022-09-15 16:36:25:

saying 20%alcohol in 15 litre solution.

It means (20/100)*15=3 litres

Now 5 litre of water is added not alcohol.

So it means only the volume of solution is increases by 5 not alcohol.

It means 15+5=20

Now % of alcohol is

(3/20)*100=15%.

Ques:- There are five thieves, each loot a bakery one after the other such that the first one takes 1/2 of the total no. of the breads plus 1/2 of a bread. Similarly 2nd, 3rd,4th and 5th also did the same. After the fifth one no. of breads remained are 3. Initially how many breads were there?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 11:59:42:

Friends,
The Answer given by ‘Gaurav Sharma’ is correct and
the approach (bottom to top) suggested by ‘Shailesh’ is
good. But with minor correction we can arrive the solution
using this approach:
After 5th loot, No. of breads left = 3
after 4th loot, no. of breads left = (3+0.5)x2 = 7
after 3rd loot, no. of breads left = (7+0.5)x2 = 15
after 2nd loot, no. of breads left = (15+0.5)x2 = 31
after 1st loot, no. of breads left = (31+0.5)x2 = 63
So, before 1st loot, no. of breads left = (63+0.5)x2 = 127

Recent Answer : Added by Dennis On 2020-07-16 14:50:37:

The ratio flat vs hill is unknown so you can’t calculate this normally. But since the average for uphill/downhill is also 4 kmph ((1.5h)/6km)), the calculation is: 6 hours * 4kmph = 24km.

Ques:- A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then how old is B?
Recent Answer : Added by Muhammed Nasser Abdelnabi On 2022-10-09 06:56:17:

A = B + 2
B = 2 C
A + B + C = 27
C = 27 – A – B
B = 2*27 – 2A – 2B
2A = 2*27 – 3B
-2*A =-2*2 – 2*B
B = 10
