p = prob(1st digit not 7)*prob(2nd digit not 7)*prob(3rd
digit not 7)
=(8/9)*(9/10)*(9/10)
=0.72
Sandhya had it right except that there are 900 numbers
between 100 and 999 inclusive (not 899).

Ques:- A train of length 150 metres takes 40.5 seconds to cross a tunnel of length 300 metres. What is the speed of the train in km/hr?
A. 13.33
B. 26.67
C. 39.16
D. 40
Recent Answer : Added by Kelvin Chibeti On 2022-10-07 17:19:15:

1km = 1000m
Xkm = 300m
X=0.30km

1hr = 3,600s
X = 40.5s
0.01125hr
Therefore; 0.3km/0.1125hr= 26.6666=26.67km/hr

Ques:- A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. What is the speed of the train ?
Recent Answer : Added by Swaleh Mohamed On 2022-08-14 16:45:53:

Length of train = 125Mtrs
Speed of man = 5Km/Hr
=(5*1000)/(1*3600)
=1.4M/s
Time taken for train to pass = 10s

Spd = D/T
Total Distance (Man distance+ Train Length)
#Distance covered by Man in 10s
D=Spd*T
= (1.4M/s*10s)
= 14Mtrs

#Train length = 125Mtrs

Total D = 14Mtrs + 125Mtrs
= 139Mtrs
Time taken = 10s

Sp = D/t
=139M/10s
=13.9M/s

Ques:- There is a room with a door (closed) and three light bulbs. Outside the room there are three switches, connected to the bulbs. You may manipulate the switches as you wish, but once you open the door you can't change them. Identify each switch with its bulb.
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-30 16:27:15:

Turn on a switch and leave it for some ten minutes. Turn it off, turn a second one on and open the door and go into the room. The glowing bulb corresponds to second switch. The bulb that is hot corresponds to first switch, as it was turned on for ten minutes and have heated up. The cold and not-glowing bulb corresponds to the third switch

Ques:- The cost of 17 apples, 9 oranges , 13 bananas is rs 130 , whereas cost of 13 oranges, 7 apples and 10 bananas is rs 100. find the cost of 1 apple , 1 banana and 1 orange put together?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-27 18:08:58:

Let cost for apple be a Cost for banana be b and Orange be c

So by first value expression becomes 17a + 13b + 9c =130 ———-1 therefore if you further solve a = (130 – 13b – 9c)/17 ———- 2 the second expression becomes: 13c + 7a + 10b = 100 ———- 3 If you put value of a in second expression it becomes: 13c + 7[(130 – 3b – 9c)/17] +10b = 100

Further if you solve you get value of b:

b = 10 – 2c ———-4

put value of b from 4 in 1

17a + 13 [10 – 2c] + 9c = 130

Further if you solve you find value of a

a = c ———-5

Put 5 in 3

13c + 7c + 10b = 100

further solve you get: c = 1 ———-6

from 5 and 6

a = c = 1 ———-7

Substitute value of c in expression 4

b = 10 – 2c b = 10 -2 * 1 b = 8 ———-8

therefore a + b + c = 10

Ques:- In 1978, a kg of paper was sold at Rs25/-. I f the paper rate increases at 1.5% more than inflation rate which is of 6.5% a year , then what wil be the cost of a kg of paper after 2 years? a)29.12 (b) 29.72 (c) 30.12 (d) 32.65 (e) none of these
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:00:04:

(a) 29.12 (actual)
first year rate of paper (inflation rate) : 25 + 25 *
6.5/100 = 26.625
paper rate in first year is 1.5 % more . ..thr4
inflated cost in 1 yr = 26.625 + 1.5 / 100 * 26.625 =
27.024.
second year : 27.024 + 27.024 * 6.5 / 100 = 28.78
paper cost : 1.5 /100 * 28.78 + 28.78 = 29.12 ( approx..)

Ques:- A train of length 150 m takes 40.5 seconds to cross a tunnel of length of 300 m. The speed of the train (in km/hr) is
A. 13.33
B. 26.67
C. 38.32
D. 40
Recent Answer : Added by memo On 2023-01-10 14:35:10:

Since the total train length passed the tunnel so the distance would be the length of train added to the tunnel legth
D=150+300=450 mt.
speed = distance/time
speed = 450/(40.5/3600)
speed =40,000 mt/sec

Ques:- Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet. Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each. The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?
Recent Answer : Added by Vivek Bharadwaj On 2022-08-14 16:33:40:

Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet.
Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each.
The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?

Solution:-
Area of Square is 576 sq ft.
so, the length of side = root(576) = 24 ft

Since the fencing would be done on the perimeter, we would need that
formula is 4*side = 96 ft.

Number of Fence post needed = 96/3 = 32

1 Fence post cost = 32
32 Fence Post cost = 32 * 32 = 1024

Fencing cost = Perimeter * fencing cost = 96 * 4.5 = 432

Total Cost = 432 + 1024 = 1456
