Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F' m3/min

Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10) m3/min

From the given data,

2400F - 2400F+10= 8 2400 F+10-FF(F+10) =8 F2 + 10F - 3000 = 0 F = 50 m3/min

The ratio of the speeds of a car, a jeeps and a tractor is 3 : 5 : 2. The speed of the jeep is 250 per cent of the speed of the tractor and tractor covers 360 km in 12 hours. What is the average speed of car and jeep together?

A) 50 kmph B) 60 kmph
C) 70 kmph D) 80 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of tractor = 360/12 = 30 kmph

Speed of jeep = 250 x 30/100 = 75 kmph

But, given ratio of speed of car, jeep and tractor is 3 : 5 : 2

Speed of car = 3 x 75/5 = 45 kmph

In a class 60% of the students pass in English and 45% pass in Hindi. If 25% of them pass in both subjects, what percentage of the students fail in both the subjects?

A) 20% B) 25%
C) 30% D) 15%
