A) 69.5 km/hr B) 70 km/hr
C) 79 km/hr D) 79.2 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 79.2 km/hr

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.


Then, x/y = 8 => x = 8y


Now, (x+264)/20 = y
8y + 264 = 20y
y = 22.
Speed = 22 m/sec = (22*18/5) km/hr = 79.2 km/hr.

Q:

The difference between a positive proper fraction and its reciprocal is 9 / 20. Then the fraction is :

A) 3/5 B) 3/10
C) 4/5 D) 5/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4/5

Let the required fraction be x. Then, (1 / x )- x = 9/20
1 - x^(2) / x = 9 / 20  =>  20 - 20 * x^(2) = 9 * x.
20 * x^(2) + 9 *x - 20 = 0.
=> (4 * x + 5) (5 * x - 4) = 0.
=> x = 4 / 5.

Q:

Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio 4:6:8. They had partnered for 12 months, 8 months and 6 months respectively. What was the ratio of their investments?

A) 4:6:8 B) 4:7:8
C) 4:8:16 D) 4:9:16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 4:9:16

Explanation:

Let their investments be Rs. x for 12 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 6 months respectively.

Then, 12x : 8y : 6z = 4 : 6 : 8

Now, 12x/8y = 4/6   <=>   9x=4y   <=>   y=9x/4

And, 12x/6z = 4/8   <=>   4x=z     <=>    z=4x

Therefore, x : y: z  =  x : 9x/4: 4x  =  4 : 9 : 16
