Q:

A man covered a certain distance at some speed. Had he moved 3 kmph faster, he would have taken 40 minutes less. If he had moved 2 kmph slower, he would have taken 40 minutes more. The distance (in km) is

A) 30	B) 36
C) 40	D) 42

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40

Explanation:

Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)
Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get:

x = 40 km.

Q:

A gas absorbs a photon of 355 nm and emits at two wavelengths. If one of the emissions is at 680 nm, the other is at :

A) 518 nm	B) 1035 nm
C) 325 nm	D) 743 nm

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 743 nm

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{λ} = \frac{1}{λ 1} + \frac{1}{λ 2}$

$\frac{1}{355} = \frac{1}{680} + \frac{1}{λ 2}$

$\frac{1}{λ 2} = \frac{680 - 355}{680 \times 355}$

$\Rightarrow λ 2 = 743 n m$ .

A group of men can complete a job in K hours. After every 4 hours, half the number of men working at that point of time leave the job. Continuing this way if the job is finished in 16 hours, what is the value of K ?

A) 7 hrs	B) 7.5 hrs
C) 8 hrs	D) 8.25 hrs

Let there are L men

job requires LK man hours.

job completed in first 4 hrs = L x 4 = 4L

job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/2 = 2L

job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/4 = L

job completed in last 4 hrs = 4 x L/8 = L/2

4L + 2L + L + L/2 = KL

K = 7+1/2 = 7.5 hours.
