Q:

An Engine length 1000 m moving at 10 m/s. A bird is flying from engine to end with 'x' m/s and coming back at '2x' m/s. Take total time of bird travelling as 187.5 s. Find x and 2x in km/hr ?

A) 21.4 and 42.8	B) 25.2 and 50.4
C) 31.4208 and 62.8416	D) 33.12 and 66.24

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416

Explanation:

Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .
While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/sec
from end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/sec
so
1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secs
solving it, we get
so x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec

x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Q:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

A) 16	B) 17
C) 18	D) 19

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 19

Explanation:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - ? = \frac{35}{3}$

=> $? = \frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - \frac{35}{3}$

=> ? = $\frac{1476 + 1106 - 980}{84}$

=> ? = 19.07
