Q:

A secret can be told to only 3 persons in 3 minutes. Each person in turn tells 3 other persons in the next 3 minutes and the processes continues accordingly. In 30 minutes how many persons can be told this secret in this way ?

A) 88572 B) 77854
C) 99584 D) 55654
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 88572

Explanation:

Given a secret is told to 3 persons in 3 minutes.
And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,
In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.
Required number of persons = 3 + 32 + 33 + .... + 39 + 310

 

Now it forms a geometric progression,

 

Sum to n terms is S = arn - 1r - 1

 

Here a = 3, r = 3

 
=> 59048 x 3 /2

 

= 88572.

A) 2/9 B) 5/9
C) 4/9 D) 0

Number of white marbles = 4

Number of Black marbles = 5

Total number of marbles = 9

Number of ways, two marbles picked randomly = 9C2

Now, the required probability of picked marbles are to be of same color = 4C2/9C2  +  5C2/9C2

= 1/6 + 5/18

= 4/9.

Q:

5 years ago, the mother's age was 3 times of her son's age. 5 years hence, the ratio between the ages of mother and the son becomes 11:5. Find the mother's present age?

Answer

Let the present age's of mother be 'M' and that of her son be 'S'.


According to the given data in the question,


M - 5 = 3(S - 5)


F - 3S = -10  ...............(1)


Then given ,


M + 5 : S + 5 = 11 : 5 


=> 5M - 11S = 30 ..............(2)


 


From (1) & (2), we get


S = 20


Then by substituting S = 20 in (1) or (2), we get


M = 50.


 


Hence, the present age of mother is M = 50 years.

Q:

Important Time and Distance formulas with examples.

Answer

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.
