Ques:- One student takes 20 mins to reach school if he goes at a speed of 15kmph .At what speed should he go to reach in 15 mins ?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-30 16:26:23:

1) time =20mins,speed=15kmph=15*(5/18)=25/6 m/sec
distance=20*(25/6)=250/3 m
then 2) given as time =15min
speed=250/3*15=(50/9)*(18/5)kmph=20kmph

Ques:- If VICTORY is coded as YLFWRUB, how can SUCCESS be coded ?
Recent Answer : Added by Énio Carlos On 2022-08-14 16:46:41:

The answer for this question is very simple: it is called Ceaser Cipher.
It consists of replacing a character by another located in (current character position + (key-1)), where key = how many positions you want to skip.
For Example: VICTORY -> YLFWRUB with the key = 3.
Then SUCCESS -> QXFFHQQ

Note: it should work like a circle(Z+1 = A).

Ques:- You have two jars, 50 red marbles and 50 blue marbles. A jar will be picked at random, and then a marble will be picked from the jar. Placing all of the marbles in the jars, how can you maximize the chances of a red marble being picked? What are the exact odds of getting a red marble using your scheme?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:41:

put 1 red marble in one jar and all the rest (99) in the
other.
This gives you 50% from the first jar (if they pick that
jar they will get red 100% of the time). For the other jar
the chances are 49/99 or 49.494949%. Divide that by 2 and
its 24.7474%. Total odds are 50% plus 24.7474% = 74.7474%

Ques:- There are 9 balls of equal size and same weight(they look similar) except 1. How many weights required to find the dissimilar ball using a weighing balance?
Recent Answer : Added by G Dinesh On 2023-06-10 18:20:22:

Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:

1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.

Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.

2. Weigh G versus H.

Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.

Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.

2. Weigh A versus B.

Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.

Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

answer is maximum of 2.

Ques:- The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers are 44 and 264 respectively. If the first number is divided by 2, the quotient is 44. The other number is
A. 66
B. 132
C. 264
D. 528
Recent Answer : Added by Shiva Akhil On 2023-06-09 12:28:38:

let,first num be x and second num be y
hcf =264
lcm=44
given equation
x/2=44 i.e x=88
product of 2 numbers is equal to lcm*hcf
88*y=44*264
y=132

Ques:- A 6 inch length cylindrical through hole is drilled through the center of sphere, what will be the remaining volume of sphere ?

In this question only one data is given ie., hole length - 6". In the question there is no mistake.
Find the answer.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:05:14:

volume of a sphere is 4/3 * pi * r^3
by drilling a hole 6 inches long the volume of the sphere is
not affected bcos the hole is a 1 dimension quantity..(say a
straight line) n so it does not have any value w.r.t volume…
hence the volume of the sphere does not change..

Ques:- The average of 13 numbers is 60. Average of the first 7 of them is 57 and that of the last 7 is 61. Find the 8th number?
Ques:- A can do a half of certain work in 70 days and B one third of the same in 35 days. They together will do the whole work in.
Recent Answer : Added by Anonymous On 2021-12-20 03:54:48:

Days taken by A to complete whole work= 140 days
Days taken by B to complete whole work= 105 days

A’s 1 day work= 1/140
B’s 1 day work= 1/105
On adding these together we get: 1/60 (1 day work by working together)

So, together they will be able to complete it in 60 days

Ques:- Security force experience
Ques:- A polygon has maximum 1325 diagonals. How many vertices does it have?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-15 08:05:23:

The formula to find number of diagonals (D) given total number of vertices or sides (N) is

N * (N – 3)

D = ———–

2

Using the formula, we get
1325 * 2 = N * (N – 3)
N2 – 3N – 2650 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get N = 53 or -50

It is obvious that answer is 53 as number of vertices can not be negative.

Alternatively, you can derive the formula as triange has 0 diagonals, quadrangel has 2, pentagon has 5, hexagon has 9 and so on……

Hence the series is 0, 0, 0, 2, 5, 9, 14, …….. (as diagram with 1,2 or 3 vertices will have 0 diagonals).

Using the series one can arrive to the formula given above.

Ques:- If a and b are positive integers and (a-b)/3.5 = 4/7, then (A) b < a(B) b > a(C) b = a(D) b >= a
Recent Answer : Added by Mustafa On 2022-08-14 16:31:58:

Put a= 4, b = 2 in the equation and multiplying by 2/2 then you will get same value in right hand side. It mean a is 2a which mean b<a
