A) 42.2 mts B) 33.45 mts
C) 66.6 mts D) 58.78 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 66.6 mts

Explanation:

From above diagram
AC represents the hill and DE represents the tower

Given that AC = 100 m

angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD )
angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE)

Let DE = h

Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE

tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1)

tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)
∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1
100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts

The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

Q:

A sum of Rs. 4,300 is distributed among M, N and O, such that M receives 25% more than N and N receives 25% less than O. What is O’s share in the amount?

A) 1564 B) 1600
C) 1632 D) 1714
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1600

Explanation:

Let O's share = Rs. P

=> N's share = 75100 x P = 3P4

M's share = 54 x 3P4 = 15P16

15P16 + 3P4 + P = 4300=> P = 4300 x 1643 = 1600

Q:

A 260 m long train running at the speed of 120 km/hr crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 km/hr in 9 sec. What is the length of the other train  ?

A) 240 mts B) 270 mts
C) 260 mts D) 250 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 240 mts

Explanation:

Relative speed = 120 + 80 = 200 km/hr.
= 200 x 5/18 = 500/9 m/sec.

Let the length of the other train be L mts.
Then, (L + 260)/9 = 500/9 => L = 240 mts.

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 21,14

Explanation:

Putting A=1, B=2, C=3,..., M=13,....,X=24,Y=25, Z=26, we have :

 

 

 

 JR = J + R2 + 2 = 10 + 18 2 + 2 = 16

 

 

 

CK = C + K2 + 2 =  3 + 112 + 2 = 9

 

 

 

TX = T + X2+ 2 = 20 + 242 + 2 = 24

 

 

 

OS = O + S2 + 2 = 15 + 192 + 2 = 19

 

 

 

 So, the missing numbers are :
