The series is 15, 16, 34, 105, 424, 2124, 12576
1) (15*1) + 1 = 16
2) (16*1) + 2 = 34
3) (34*3) + 3 = 105
4) (105*4) + 4 = 424
5) (424*5) + 5 = 2125
Clearly, they gave 2124 instead of 2125, so it is the wrong number in the series.

Ans: 60 kph

Suppose Person meets the train everyday at 3 PM at Station A.

His speed is 12kph.

So normally he reaches 5 km before the meeting point (pt B) at (5/12 hr = 25 min before) 2:35PM.

But if he is late by 30 min, then he will reach that point (pt B) by 3:05 PM.

Train is traveling at its normal speed so it covers the distance of 5 Km in 5 min starting from Station A and reaches the meeting point (pt B) at 3:05 PM.

So speed of the train is 5KM/5min = 60 kph.

105/29 mins

Answer is 274 .

Let the required term be x.

Pattern :- 1) Find the difference between consecutive terms as :

2 – 1 = 1

4 – 2 = 2

13 – 4 = 9

31 – 13 = 18

112 – 31 = 81

2) Now write the above numbers obtained by differences in series as :

1, 2, 9, 18, 81, y

(Suppose y be next term after 81.)

3) Look the difference series carefully and it follows the below pattern as :

(9 * 2)/1 = 18

(18 * 9)/2 = 81

(81 * 18)/9 = 162 = y (the next term after 81)

Thus the required answer is :

x = 112 + y

x = 112 +162 =274

only if the results are greater than my input

B

Time taken to fill repaired cistern = 12 mins

In 1 min, pipe will fill = 1/12

Time taken to fill cistern with leak = 12 + 18 = 30 mins

In 1 min, it will fill = 1/30

Consider the leak as an outlet pipe, so

1/30 = 1/12 – [ in 1 min how much the outlet pipe leaks ]

= 1/12 – 1/30

= 5/60 – 2/60 = 3/60 = 1/20

Therefore, it will take 20 mins for the leak to empty the cistern

coz steam has more heat content than hot water
