240.

X : (3000 x 8) + (2000 x 4) = 32000
Y : (4000 x 8) + (5000 x 4) = 52000
X:Y = 32000:52000 = 8:13
8k + 13k = 630
k = 30
X:8 x 30 = 240

Total game played= 60
%won =30%
Total won= 60*30/100 i.e. 18
now team plays x games and win all of those to increase the
average to 50%.
So,
(60+x)*50/100=18+x
(60+x)/2=18+x
60+x=36+2x
24=x
So the final answer is 24.

B1

total distance to travel the end of the train = 360 + 140 = 500 m
speed of train 45000m/60min = 750m/min or 750m/60sec
(500m*60sec)/750m=40sec the time will take to pass

(C*D)/G

(60/100)*60 + (40/100)*40

five multiplication & three addtion

P’s one min work=1/18
Q’s one min work=1/24
P’s x min work+Q’s 12 min work = tank fully filled ( 1 )
x(1/18)+12(1/24)=1
x=9 min

Answer is 274 .

Let the required term be x.

Pattern :- 1) Find the difference between consecutive terms as :

2 – 1 = 1

4 – 2 = 2

13 – 4 = 9

31 – 13 = 18

112 – 31 = 81

2) Now write the above numbers obtained by differences in series as :

1, 2, 9, 18, 81, y

(Suppose y be next term after 81.)

3) Look the difference series carefully and it follows the below pattern as :

(9 * 2)/1 = 18

(18 * 9)/2 = 81

(81 * 18)/9 = 162 = y (the next term after 81)

Thus the required answer is :

x = 112 + y

x = 112 +162 =274

consider the tank capacity as 90 litres.
to fill the tank in 3 hrs first pipe must flow at a rate of 30 litres/hr
2nd pipe has to flow at a rate of 45 litres/hr
if two pipes are opened at a time the flow rate will become 75 litres/hr
90/75= 6/5 = 1.2= (i.e) 1hr and 12 minutes 1 1/5 hr

3:4
3x:4x
3x+4x=420
7x=420
x=60

smaller number=3(60)=180.

If division of 3 is allowed then I might do 5 divisions in one go & do in less iterations. I would assume max 2 division as you have to hands, and compare the weight.
