Q:

The difference between a positive proper fraction and its reciprocal is 9 / 20. Then the fraction is :

A) 3/5 B) 3/10
C) 4/5 D) 5/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4/5

Explanation:

Let the required fraction be x. Then, (1 / x )- x = 9/20
1 - x^(2) / x = 9 / 20  =>  20 - 20 * x^(2) = 9 * x.
20 * x^(2) + 9 *x - 20 = 0.
=> (4 * x + 5) (5 * x - 4) = 0.
=> x = 4 / 5.

Q:

A train moves past a telegraph post and a bridge 264 m long in 8 seconds and 20 seconds respectively. What is the speed of the train ?

A) 69.5 km/hr B) 70 km/hr
C) 79 km/hr D) 79.2 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 79.2 km/hr

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.


Then, x/y = 8 => x = 8y


Now, (x+264)/20 = y
8y + 264 = 20y
y = 22.
Speed = 22 m/sec = (22*18/5) km/hr = 79.2 km/hr.
