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

A) 10000 B) 20000
C) 30000 D) 40000

time taken = 3 x 60 sec = 180 sec

length of diagonal = speed x  time = (10/9) x 180 = 200m

Area of the field = (1/2) x (dioagonal)²

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%
