Q:

Three taps P, Q and R can fill a tank in 12 hrs, 15 hrs and 20 hrs respectively. If P is open all the time and Q and R are open for one hour each alternately, starting with Q, then the tank will be full in how many hours ?

A) 9 hrs B) 7 hrs
C) 13 hrs D) 11 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7 hrs

Explanation:

Given,

P can fill in 12 hrs

Q can fill in 15 hrs

R can fill in 20 hrs

=> Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit

=> P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs

=> Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs

=> R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs

Tank can be filled in the way that

(P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + ....

=> Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit

=> In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit

=> In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit

=> So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.

Q:

Train K crosses a stationary Train L in 50 seconds and a pole in 20 seconds with the same speed. The length of the Train K is 240 meters. What is the length of stationary Train L ?

A) 60 mts B) 120 mts
C) 240 mts D) 360 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 360 mts

Explanation:

Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/s
Distance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.
But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds
Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.
