Explanation:

Clearly total persons are increased in  28/35 :: 52/65 = 4:5.

As time is inversely proportional to men, so total time will decrease in the ratio 5:4.

Hence, 22.5 x 4/5 = 18 days.

Q:

The length of two superfast trains are 140 mts and 160 mts respectively. If they run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr respectively in opposite direction, find the time in which they will cross each other ? 

A) 7.71 sec B) 10.48 sec
C) 9.36 sec D) 8.45 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7.71 sec

Explanation:

Given L1 = 140 m

L2 = 160 m

S1 = 60 km/hr

S2 = 80 km/hr

From the question we get,

S1 + S2 = (L1 + L2) / T

=> (60 + 80) 5/18 m/s = 140 + 160/T

=> T = 54/7 = 7.71 sec

Q:

Two payments of $10,000 each must be made one year and four years from now. If money can earn 9% compounded monthly, what single payment two years from now would be equivalent to the two scheduled payments?

A) 19296 B) 19396
C) 19496 D) 19596
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 19296

Explanation:

The single equivalent payment will be PV + FV.
FV = Future value of $10,000, 12 months later
 $10,000 *(1.0075)/12
 $10,938.07
PV=  Present value of $10,000, 24 months earlier
 $10,000/(1.0075)24
 $8358.31
The equivalent single payment is
$10,938.07 + $8358.31 = $19,296.38
