Ricardo Energy And Environment Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

speed=mile/hour
.•. time taken to travel M miles is

So, time =distance/speed
=M/m/h
=Mh/m hrs

Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.

They will meet at the center of the square…as the
direction vector of all the ants/people change according to
the first person.
The independent path of each person taken will be spiral in
nature.

Explanation:
They should share the profits in the ratio of their investments.
The ratio of the investments made by A and B =
6000 : 8000 => 3:4

let the average of 25 person be x

total age of a person=average×no.of person

total age of 25 person=X×25

=25X

when a new person of 46kg come average decrease by 5kg(X-5)

Total age of 26 person =25x+46

Average age of 26 person=X-5

A/Q

.25X+46=26(X-5)

25X+46=26X-130

26X-25X=130+46

X =176

hence the av. of 25 person be 176kg

In plan A 7500/- and other amounts in plan B

a = 2
d = 5 – 2 = 3
Then 12th term is :
This in arithmetic progression
L = a + (12 – 1) d
L = 2 + 11 * 3
L = 2 + 33 = 35

x – 30 = 1/4 x || *4
4x – 120 = x || -x + 120
3x = 120 || /3
x = 40
