1. How to find Speed(s) if distance(d) & time(t) is given:

 Speed (S) = Distance (D)Time (T) 

Ex: Find speed if a person travels 4 kms in 2 hrs?

Speed = D/T = 4/2 = 2 kmph.

2.  Similarly, we can find distance (d)  if speed (s) & time (t) is given by

Distance (D) = Speed (S) x Time (T)

Ex : Find distance if a person with a speed of 2 kmph in 2 hrs?

Distance D = S X T = 2 x 2 = 4 kms. 

3.  Similarly, we can find time (t) if speed (s) &  distance (d) is given by

Time (T) = Distance (D)Speed (S)

Ex : Find in what time a person travels 4 kms with a speed of 2 kmph?

Time T = D/S = 4/2 = 2 hrs.

4. How to convert  km/hr into m/sec :

P km/hr = P x 518 m/sec

Ex : Convert 36 kmph into m/sec?

36 kmph = 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec 

5. How to convert  m/sec into km/hr :

P m/sec = P x 185 kmph.

Ex : Convert 10 m/sec into km/hr?

10 m/sec = 10 x 18/5 = 36 kmph.

6.  If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b, then the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the same distance is b : a.

7.  Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/ hr and an equal distance at y km/hr . Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xyx+y km/hr.

Given total students in the class = 60
Students who are taking Economics = 24 and
Students who are taking Calculus = 32
Students who are taking both subjects = 60-(24 + 32) = 60 - 56 = 4
Students who are taking calculus only = 32 - 4 = 28
probability that a randomly chosen student from this group is taking only the Calculus class = 28/60 = 7/15.

K's brother's wife's father-in-law is K's brother's father i.e. K's father. K's father's daughter is K's Sister.
L is daughter of K's sister => K is L's Uncle or Aunt.

The carbon arc lamp was the first widely-used type of electric light and the first commercially successful form of electric lamp.

Here are the Carbon Arc Lamp Uses :

-Super bright light, capable of lighting a large length of street or a large factory interior.

-Was the ONLY electric light available to light large areas from 1800 - 1901.

-Was cheaper to light streets with the arc lamp than gas or oil lamps.

Since T is the brother of Q
Therefore, P is the father of T
but S is the wife of T.
Hence, S is the daughter-in-law of P.

10% profit at half plot = 600000/2 x 10/100 = Rs. 30,000

15% profit at remaining half plot = 600000/2 x 15/100 = Rs. 45,000

Now, total profit = 30000 + 45000 = 75000

Profit % = 75000/600000 x 100 = 12.5 %
