Q:

The ratio of the speed of Two trains is 5:8. Sum of their length is 660. The ratio of time taken to cross an Electric Pole by train A and B is 4:3. What is the difference between the length of two trains?

A) 50m B) 40m
C) 60m D) 45m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 60m

Explanation:

Ans.
Given that length of first train + length of second train = 660
Speed of first train : Speed of second train = 5:8 =5x : 8x
Time taken to cross the poll by two trains = 4:3 =4y:3y
Now ,
(5x*4y) + (8x*3y) = 660
44xy = 660
xy = 15
L1 - L2 = 24xy -20xy = 4xy = 60 m

Q:

A can complete a work in 12 days with a working of 8 hours per day. B can complete the same work in 8 days when working 10 hours a day. If A and B work together, working 8 hours a day, the work can be completed in --- days  ?

A) 51/24 B) 87/5
C) 57/12 D) 60/11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 60/11

Explanation:

A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day

=> Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours 

=> Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96

 

B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day

=> Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours 

=> Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80

 

Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480

 => A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours

 

A and B works 8 hours a day.

Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together 

= (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 days

A) 96 B) 88
C) 40 D) 19
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 96

Explanation:

The given math puzzle follows a logic that,

1 + 4 = 5 => 1 x 4 + 1 = 5

2 + 5 = 12 => 2 x 5 + 2 = 12

3 + 6 = 21 => 3 x 6 + 3 = 21

 

Similarly,

8 + 11 = > 8 x 11 + 8 = 96.
