Q:

Joel travels the first 3 hours of his journey at 60 mph speed and the remaining 5 hours at 24 mph speed. What is the average speed of Joel's travel in kmph ?

A) 38 kmph B) 40 kmph
C) 60 kmph D) 54 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours.

Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 miles
Distance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles

Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles.

Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours.

Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph.

we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms

=> 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms

Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.

Q:

In a box, there are 9 blue, 6 white and some black stones. A stone is randomly selected and the probability that the stone is black is ¼. Find the total number of stones in the box? 

A) 15 B) 18
C) 20 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

We know that, Total probability = 1

Given probability of black stones = 1/4

=> Probability of blue and white stones = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

But, given blue + white stones =  9 + 6 = 15

Hence,

3/4 ----- 15

 1   -----  ?

=> 15 x 4/3 = 20.

 

Hence, total number of stones in the box = 20.

There are five bags. In the first bag we put some fruits. Each bag the number of fruits is reduced by 1/4. The last bag contains 4. Then the number of fruits in the first bag is ?

A) 2596 B) 1024
C) 256 D) 64
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1024

Explanation:

Fruits reduced by 1/4.
Total no. of bags N = 5
Formula to find no. of fruits in 1st bag = 4^n
Last Bag = 4 fruits.
That means, 4th bag = 4 x 4 = 16 fruits
3rd bag = 16 x 4 = 64 fruits
2nd bag = 64 x 4 = 256 fruits
1st bag = 256 x 4= 1024 fruits.
