Solution

The distance between Ahmedabad and Baroda is 100 Km

Navjivan express starts at 6:30 am at 50 Km/hr and Howrah expresses starts at7:00 am at 40 Km/hr.

Solution

Time from 5 am. on a day to 10 pm. on 4th day = 89 hours.

Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.

356/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock

89 hrs of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs of correct clock.

= 90 hrs of correct clock.

So, the correct time is 11 p.m

Solution

We can get the triangles in two different ways.

Taking two points from the line having 10 points

(in ¹⁰C2 ways, i.e., 45 ways) and one point from the line consisting of 11 points (in 11 ways).

So, the number of triangles here is 45×11=495.

Taking two points from the line having 11 points (in ¹¹C2, i.e., 55 ways) and one point from the line consisting of 10 points (in 10 ways), the number of triangles here is 55×10=550

Total number of triangles, =495+550

=1,045 triangles

Go to Discussion

Solution

Find the difference between both 34041 and 32506.

34041 - 32506 = 1535

So n should be a factor of 1535.

Factors of 1535:- 1, 5, 307, 1535

Here, 307 is a three digit factor of 1535. So n = 307 34041 and 32506 divided by 307 leaves remainder 271.

So 307 is the answer.

Go to Discussion

Solution

Let the cost price (CP) be x.

As dealer makes a profit of 20%,

selling price (SP) = 1.2x

But the dealer incurs loss by selling 16 articles at the cost of 12 articles.

So, SP of 16 articles = CP of 12 articles

Loss = 25%

Now, SP = 1.6x

80% of marked (or list) price (MP) = 1.6x

MP = 2x

Hence, list price is 100% above cost price.

Hence, Janardan ⇒ Gold medal

so,

xy = (x-2)(y+1)

= xy - 2y + x - 2

x = 2(y+1)

Here are the possible values of y,x and yx:

y = 21,22,23,24

x = 44,46,48,50

xy = 920, 1012,1104,1200

1000 < xy < 1100 (y,x)

= (22,46)

which will be x = 46

So the number of friends would be x -2 = 44

Two liquids A and B are in the ratio 5:1 in container 1 and in the ratio 1:3 in container 2. In what ratio should the contents of the two containers be mixed so as to obtain a mixture of A and B in the ratio 1:1?

Go to Discussion

Solution

Let each part be x.
Vol of A= 5x ;

Vol of B= x ; Total Vol= 6x.

Container 2:
Let each part be y.
Vol of A= y ;

Vol of B= 3y;

Total Vol= 4y.

After Mixing:
Vol of A= 5x + y
Vol of B= x + 3y
As Ratio of A:B is 1:1, hence
5x+y = x+3y
2x = y
So,
Ratio of Total Vol 1 : Total Vol 2 =
6x / 4y

= 6x / 4(2x)

= 6/8 = 3/4.

Each family in a locality has at most two adults, and no family has fewer than 3 children. Considering all the families together, there are more adults than boys, more boys than girls, and more girls than families. Then the minimum possible number of families in the locality is

Go to Discussion

Solution

Let n_f be number of families, n_g be number of girls, n_b be number of boys and n_abe number of adults.

number of adults more than number of boys, number of boys more than number of girls and number of girls more than number of families.

hence we have, n_a > n_b > n_g > n_f ..........................(1)

we check the above relation (1) with different values for number of families, starting with n_f= 1

Let n_f= 1 , then n_b + n_g= 3 , if n_g =2 then n_b = 1 . But number of boys is greater than number of girls.
due to this contradiction, n_f ≠ 1

Let n_f= 2 , then n_b + n_g= 6 , if n_g =3 then n_b = 3 . But number of boys is greater than number of girls.
due to this contradiction, n_f ≠ 2

Let n_f= 3 , then n_b + n_g= 9 , if n_g =4 then n_b = 5 . number of adults n_a = 6.

hence the relation n_a > n_b > n_g > n_fis satisfied for the above numbers, 6>5>4>3
hence minimum number of families is 3
