Q:

What is the sum of all 3 digits number that can be formed using digits 0,1,2,3,4,5 with no repitition ?

A) 28450 B) 26340
C) 32640 D) 36450
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 32640

Explanation:

We know that zero can't be in hundreds place. But let's assume that our number could start with zero.

 

The formula to find sum of all numbers in a permutation is

 

111 x no of ways numbers can be formed for a number at given position x sum of all given digits

 

No of 1 s depends on number of digits

 

So,the answer us

 

111 x 20 x (0+1+2+3+4+5) = 33300

 

We got 20 as follows. If we have 0 in units place we can form a number in 4*5 ways. This is for all numbers. So we have substituted 20 in formula.

 

Now, this is not the final answer because we have included 0 in hundreds place. so we have to remove the sum of all numbers that starts with 0.

 

This is nothing but the sum of all 2 digits numbers formed by 1 2 3 4 5. Because 0 at first place makes it a 2 digit number.

 

So the sum for this is 11 x 4 x (1+2+3+4+5).
=660

 

Hope u understood why we use 4. Each number can be formed in 4x1 ways

 

So, the final answer is 33300-660 = 32640

Q:

A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train?
     

A) 42 kmph B) 43 kmph
C) 40 kmph D) 45 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40 kmph

Explanation:

We know that,  Speed = Distance/time

 

Let the speed of the train be = x kmph

           NORMAL SPEED                           SPEED 5 KMPH MORE

          Distance = 360 Km                         Distance =360
 
          speed    =  X Kmph                        Speed = (x+5)
 
            Time =360/X                              Time =360/(x+15)
          

 

For the same journey if the speed increased 10 kmph more it will take 1 hour less

 


Time with original speed - time with increased speed = 1

 => (360/x) - (360/x+10) =  1                               

 =>  (360(x+5)-360x)/x(x+5) =1

 =>   360X + 1800 -360X  = X(X+5)

  =>   X^2 + 5x - 1800 = 0

  X = 40 or -45

 X cannot be negetive value
                  

 X = 40 kmph.
