The third proportional of two numbers p and q is defined to be that number r such that

p : q = q : r.

 

Here, required third proportional of 10 & 20, and let it be 'a'

=> 10 : 20 = 20 : a

10a = 20 x 20

=> a = 40

 

Hence, third proportional of 10 & 20 is 40.

 Then, logx = 33 log3  

 

= 27 x 0.47712 = 12.88224 

 

Since the characteristic in the resultant value of log x is 12

 

∴The number of digits in x is (12 + 1) = 13 

 

Hence the required number of digits in 333is 13.

Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is  ?

A) 1 : 2 B) 3 : 1
C) 4 : 7 D) 3 : 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3 : 2

Explanation:

Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively.

Then, length of the first train = 27 x meters, and

length of the second train = 17 y meters.

(27 x + 17 y) / (x + y) = 23

=> 27 x + 17 y = 23 x + 23 y

=> 4 x = 6 y

=> x/y = 3/2.
