Two trains of equal length , running in opposite directions , pass a pole in 18 and 12 seconds. The trains will cross each other in 

A) 14.4 sec B) 15.5 sec
C) 18.8 sec D) 20.2 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 14.4 sec

Let the length of the train be L metres

 

Speed of first train = 360018xL m/hour

 

Speed of secxond train = 360012xL m/hour

 

When running in opposite directions, relative speed = 200 L + 300 L m/hour

 

Distance to be covered = L + L = 2L metre

 

Time taken = 2L500Lx3600 sec

 

                 =14.4 sec

Q:

The perimeter of a square is equal to twice the perimeter of a rectangle of length 8cm and breadth 7cm. What is the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square ?

A) 55.12 cm B) 22.54 cm
C) 42.51 cm D) 38.57 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 38.57 cm

Explanation:

We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

Q:

5/9 of the part of the population in a village are females. If 30 % of the females are married. The percentage of unmarried males in the total males is ?

A) 62.5 % B) 125 %
C) 84.32 % D) 46.87 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 62.5 %

Explanation:

Let total population = p
number of females = 5p/9
number of males =(p-5p/9) = 4p/9
married females = 30% of 5p/9 = 30x5p/100x9 = p/6
married males = p/6
unmarried males =(4p/9-p/6) = 5p/18
Percentage of unmarried males in the total males = {(5p/18)/4p/9}x100 = (5p/18)x(9/4p) = 125/2 % = 62.5%
