Time taken to fill repaired cistern = 12 mins

In 1 min, pipe will fill = 1/12

Time taken to fill cistern with leak = 12 + 18 = 30 mins

In 1 min, it will fill = 1/30

Consider the leak as an outlet pipe, so

1/30 = 1/12 – [ in 1 min how much the outlet pipe leaks ]

= 1/12 – 1/30

= 5/60 – 2/60 = 3/60 = 1/20

Therefore, it will take 20 mins for the leak to empty the cistern

Let the number of one rupee coins in the bag be x.
Number of 50 paise coins in the bag is 93 – x.
Total value of coins
[100x + 50(93 – x)]paise = 5600 paise
=> x = 74

ANS = 74

When none of the digits are repeated:

The hundred’s place can be filled by any of the digits: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 except the one which has already been used at the thousand’s place, so it can be filled in 5 ways.

Similarly tens’ place can be filled in 4 ways: only those 4 numbers which have not been use either at hundred’s or thousand’s place.
Unit’s place can be filled in only 3 ways. So, total number of nos. Possible =4×5×4×3= 240

– While the train is moving, the jogger will also be running in the same direction.
– for the head(engine) of the train to get to the current position of the jogger 240m away, it will take:
45km/hr => 12.5m/s => 240/12.5 = 19.2 seconds.

– But in the same period of time, the jogger will still be running and will have moved to a new location by: 9km/hr => 2.5m/s => 2.5 * 19.2 = 48m

To get to the new location at the speed of 12.5m/s will take the train:
48/12.5 = 3.84sec

In this additional time, the jogger will move forward by:
3.84 * 2.5 = 9.6m

at a speed of 12.5m/s, it will take the train less than a second to cover the additional 9.6m

If we add the distance the jogger will cover in 1 second to 9.6, it is still less than what the train can cover per second. let us see (9.6 + 2.5 = 12.1)

Therefore, the head of the train will pass the runner at approximately: 19.2 + 3.84 + 1 => 24.04 seconds.

For the train to completely pass the runner, it will need its whole length of 120m to be in front of the runner.

This will take an additional (9.6 + 2) seconds.

Therefore for the length of the train to be ahead of the runner it will take approx. 35.65 (24.04 + 9.6 + 2) seconds

length of the base=3 times height
b=3h;
h=b/3;
so, 1/2bh=24
1/2b(b/3)=24
(b^2)/6=24
b^2=144
b=12
