Q:

Dileep started a business with a capital of Rs. 8000. After six months, Narender joined him with some investment. If at the end of the year each of them gets equal amount as profit, how much did Narender invest in the business?

A) 24000 B) 16000
C) 12000 D) 32000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 16000

Explanation:

Given Dileep and Narender started a business.

Dileep invested 8000 for 12 months

Let Narender invested 'p' for 6 months

At the end of the year, their profit ratio is 1 : 1.

Hence,

8000 x 12 : p x 6

p : 16000

p/16000 = 1/1

=> p = 16,000

 

Hence, Narender invested amount is Rs. 16,000.

Q:

Train A, travelling at 84 kmph, overtook train B, traveling in the same direction, in 10 seconds. If train B had been traveling at twice its speed, then train A would have taken 22.5 seconds to overtake it. Find the length of train B, given that it is half the length of train A.

A) 180 m B) 100 m
C) 200 m D) 150 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

Let speed of train B be x m/s And length of train B be y m
Then length of train A is 2y m
Speed of train A = 84 × 5/18 = 210/9 m/s = 70/3 m/s
A.T.Q, (2y+y)/10 = 70/3 − x .............(i)
and (2y+y)/ 22.5 = 70/3 − 2x ................(ii)
solving (i) and (ii), y = 50 m

Answer

Let the required number be 'X'


Condition 1 :  


XX = 2X  => 2X2 = X => X = 12


 


Condition 2 :


X × X = X2=> X = 12


 


Therefore, 12 is the number which becomes double when it is divided by itself and becomes half when it is multiplied by itself.
