Doug won the race
Explanation-
The ratio of steps covered by me, Doug, and Anne is = 6:7:8

Since Distance covered in Me 21 steps = Distance covered by Doug 24 steps = Distance covered by Anne 28 steps

LCM (21, 24, 28) = 168

For a distance of 168 units, the ratio of the distance covered in each step is;
= 8 : 7 : 6
Therefore the ratio of speeds is;
= 8×6: 7×7: 6×8
= 48 : 49 : 48

Here, the speed of the Doug is more than the speed of me and Anne
Hence, Doug won the race

Solution:

As given, we have,

The cost of one pen = 36 Rs.

So, the cost of 15 pens = 36 × 15 = 540 Rs.

The cost of one book = 45 Rs.

So, the cost of 12 books = 45 × 12 = 540 Rs.

The cost of one pencil = 8 Rs.

So, the cost of 10 pencils = 8 × 10 = 80 Rs.

Now,

the cost of each eraser is 40 Rs. less than the combined costs of pen and pencil.

So,

Combined costs of pen and pencil = 36 + 8 = 44 Rs.

Cost of one eraser = 44 – 40 = 4 Rs.

So, the cost of 5 erasers = 4 × 5 = 20 Rs.

Hence,

The total amount spent is

Hence, the total amount spent is 1180 Rs.

Reduction of 40% or 4/10th in price of bananas will lead to an increase of 4/(10 – 4) = 2/3rd part in quantity if expenditure is constant.
If original quantity is q, then :
2q/3 = 64
=> q = 64 x 3/2 = 96 = 8 dozens.
=> Original price per dozen = 40/8 = Rs 5

Relative velocity of trains = 49kmph -25 kmph = 24kmph
=6.67m/s
Time taken to cross the first train = 10 sec
Length of the second train = Relative Velocity * Time taken
to cross the first Train = 6.67 *10 = 66.7 metres
