Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:
1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.
Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.
2. Weigh G versus H.
Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.
Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.
Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.
2. Weigh A versus B.
Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.
Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.
answer is maximum of 2.
Fuel to go = x + (x/4)=5x/4
Fuel to come = x
now,
x+(5x/4) = 4.5
9x/4 = 4.5
9x = 18
x = 2 (Fuel to comeup)
Fuel to go will be:
2+(2/4) = 2 + (0.5) = 2.5
35 hours
The 3-digit number can be written as the sequence [n, 2n, 3n]
n = 1 → [1, 2, 3] → valid
n = 2 → [2, 4, 6] → valid
n = 3 → [3, 6, 9] → valid
n = 4 → [4, 8, 12] is not valid because this would lead to a 4-digit number
any value of n > 4 would also produce invalid answer
Answer: Three numbers: {123, 246, 369}
Let A=5x,B=3x,C not given so consider C=x
In triangle total angle=180°
A+B+C=180°
5x+3x+x=180°
9x=180°
X=180°/9
X=20°
A=5(20)=100°
B=3(20)=60°
C=20°
Therefore A=100° is the largest angle
Ans: 100°
900
let A goes up and B comes down.
assume A takes 1 step in 1sec.
hence,B takes 5 steps in 1sec.
50 steps ll be moved by A in 50/1=50secs
125 steps ll be moved by B in 125/5=25 secs
hence speed of escalator=(difference of no of
steps)/(difference of time)
speed=(125-50)/(50-25)= 3 steps/sec
hence during upward journey of 50secs by A,total steps=50 by
A and 150 by escalator..total=150+50=200
during downward journey of 25 secs by B,total steps=125 by B
and 75 by escalator..total=125+75=200steps.
ANS:200 steps
Let the number of one rupee coins in the bag be x.
Number of 50 paise coins in the bag is 93 – x.
Total value of coins
[100x + 50(93 – x)]paise = 5600 paise
=> x = 74
ANS = 74
