Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/s
Distance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.
But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds
Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.

Let the integer be x. Then,

x2 - 20x = 96

(x + 4)(x - 24) = 0

x = 24

Seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology in a school are in the ratio 5 : 7 : 8.

Seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology in a school are 5x, 7x and 8x.

There is a proposal to increase these seats by 40%, 50% and 75% respectively.

Then Seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology in a school will be

1.4 X 5x, 1.5 X 7x and 1.75 X 8x and

ratio will be 7 : 10.5 : 14  => 2:3:4.

Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y
yz = xy + x2 - yz - xz ....(1)
Also xy = yx-z ⇒x2 -xz = y2 ....(2)
Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + y2
2yz = xy + y2
2z = x + y
Only option (B) satisfies the equation.

Given Five boxes of bananas sell for Rs. 30.

=> 1 Box of Bananas for = 30/5 = Rs. 6

Then, for Rs. 9

=> 9/6 = 3/2 = 1.5

Hence, for Rs. 9, 1.5 box of bananas can buy.

x – y = 5

4x – 6y = 6

x = 12 y = 7

1. Lichens are plants that grow in exposed places such as rocks or tree bark.

2.  Lichens are widely used as environmental indicators or bio-indicators. They can be used as air pollution indicators, especially of the concentration of sulfur-di-oxide in the atmosphere.  

3. They need to be very good at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there.
