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.

Total Pages = 42+28 = 70 pages
for 70 pages we give Rs.20/-
and for 42 pages we give x
thus x = (42×20)/70
x = 12
The Answer = 12/-

bank of calcutta originated in 1806
there is another answer such as
bank of hindustan

The answer is A)

y1 = 62 Rs/kg
y2 = 72 Rs/kg
y = 64.5 Rs/kg

y2 – y1 = 10 Rs/kg

The distance between the y and y1 is

y – y1 = 64.5 – 62 = 2.5

x1 = (y – y1)/(y2 – y1) = 2.5/10 = 0.25
x2 = 1 – x1 = 1 – 0.25 = 0.75

The target price is calculated by the lever method.

x1 * y2 + x2 * y1 = 0.25 * 72 + 0.75 * 62.5 = 64.5

The ratio is of y1 to y2 is

0.75 : 0.25

Divide by both by 0.25

3 : 1
