Ques:- There is a 50m long army platoon marching ahead. The last person in the platoon wants to give a letter to the first person leading the platoon. So while the platoon is marching he runs ahead, reaches the first person and hands over the letter to him and without stopping he runs and comes back to his original position. In the mean time the whole platoon has moved ahead by 50m. The question is how much distance did the last person cover in that time. Assuming that he ran the whole distance with uniform speed.

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.

Ques:- 10 books are placed at random in a shelf. The probability that a pair of books will always be together is -.

All books can be arranged in 10! ways. A single pair of books can be taken as a unit and arranged among the 8 others in 9! ways. The pair of books can also be interchanged and therefore rearranged in 2! ways. Thus the probability of the pair always being together is (9!*2!)/10!

Ques:- How long does a train 165 meters long running at the rate of 54 kmph take to cross a bridge 660 meters in length?
Recent Answer : Added by Nayana On 2022-09-23 18:07:00:
Speed of train = 54km/hr
= 54 x (5/18) m/s
= 15 m/s
Length of train = 165m
Time required to cross a bridge of 660m in length = (660+165) / 15
= 55 seconds

Ques:- Ramesh can finish a work in 20 days and Sushil in 25 days. They both work together for 5 days and then Sushil goes away. In how many days will Ramesh complete the remaining work?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-17 10:05:29:
Answer:
11 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question,
Time taken by Ramesh to finish a piece of work = 20 days
Time taken by Sushil to finish a work = 25 days
Time for which they worked together = 5 days
Sushil left after = 5 days
So,
One day work of Ramesh is,
One day work of Sushil is,
So,
Work done in 5 days is given by,
Therefore, Remaining work is given by,
Now, as the Sushil left the remaining work was done by Ramesh,
Time taken by Ramesh for the remaining work is,
Therefore, the remaining work will be completed in 11 days by Ramesh.

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

Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first

Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)

Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-

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.
