Ques:- A man while going dowm in a escalator(which is miving down) takes 50 steps to reach down and while going up takes 125 steps. If he goes 5 times faster upwards than downwards. What will be the total no of steps if the escalator werent moving.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:27:

let A goes up and B comes down.
assume A takes 1 step in 1sec.
hence,B takes 5 steps in 1sec.
50 steps ll be moved by A in 50/1=50secs
125 steps ll be moved by B in 125/5=25 secs
hence speed of escalator=(difference of no of
steps)/(difference of time)
speed=(125-50)/(50-25)= 3 steps/sec
hence during upward journey of 50secs by A,total steps=50 by
A and 150 by escalator..total=150+50=200
during downward journey of 25 secs by B,total steps=125 by B
and 75 by escalator..total=125+75=200steps.
ANS:200 steps

Ques:- In a class 80% have passed english,70% passed Hindi 10% didnot passed either. If 144 students passed both. What is the total strength of the class.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:21:

let t = total no of students.. then
students who passed one or both subjects,
n(e U h) = n(e) + n(h) – n(e intersection h)
=> t = 0.8t + 0.7t – 144
=> t = 1.5t – 144
students who failed both subjects is 10% i.e. 0.1t
=>t-n(e U h) = 0.1t,
=>t -(1.5t – 144) = 0.1t
=>t- 1.5t- 0.1t = -144
=> -0.6t = -144
=>t = 240

Ques:- When a blue stone is thrown into a red sea, what would happen?
Recent Answer : Added by Deven Sharma On 2023-05-31 18:33:40:

If a blue stone is thrown into a red sea, several things could happen depending on the context and the properties of the stone and the sea:

Symbolically: Since blue and red are contrasting colors, the interaction of a blue stone in a red sea could be seen as a visual or metaphorical contrast. It could represent a stark difference or an unexpected element introduced into an existing situation.

Scientifically: In reality, the color of the stone and the sea would not have a direct physical impact on each other. The stone would sink or float based on its density and the water’s buoyancy. The color of the water, whether red or any other color, does not change the fundamental principles of objects interacting with liquids.

It’s important to note that red seas, in the context of bodies of water, typically do not exist naturally. The phrase “red sea” is often used metaphorically or symbolically rather than referring to an actual body of water with a red color.
