The last person covered 120.71 meters.
It is given that the platoon and the last person moved with
uniform speed. Also, they both moved for the identical
amount of time. Hence, the ratio of the distance they
covered – while person moving forward and backword – are
equal.
Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first
person, the platoon moved X meters forward.
Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)
meters whereas the platoon moved X meters.
Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-
X)] X meters whereas the platoon moved (50-X) meters.
Now, as the ratios are equal,
(50+X)/X = X/(50-X)
(50+X)*(50-X) = X*X
Solving, X=35.355 meters
Thus, total distance covered by the last person
= (50+X) + X
= 2*X + 50
= 2*(35.355) + 50
= 120.71 meters
Note that at first glance, one might think that the total
distance covered by the last person is 100 meters, as he
ran the total lenght of the platoon (50 meters) twice.
TRUE, but that’s the relative distance covered by the last
person i.e. assuming that the platoon is stationary.

Which means the train will travel 180 m in 6 seconds so
We need to convert this into minutes
6×10 = 60s= 1 minute.
180×10 = 1800 m train will travel 1.8 km in 1 minute.
1.8×60 = 108 kmph
let first digit be ‘X’
then 5th digit is ‘3X’
let 2nd digit be ‘Y’
then 3rd digit is ‘Y-3’
and 4th digit is ‘Y+4’
then the no is ‘(X)(Y)(Y-3)(Y+4)(3X)’
from the above we can say 3X<=9
so X<=3 and any of the digit in the number is <=9
and also given that 3 pairs sum is 11...
so make trial and error..
if X=1...any of the no is 10 which is wrong trial....
if X=2...then let Y+4=9 ==> Y=5
then no is 25296
first pair 2+9=11
second pair 2+9=11
third pair 5+6=11
now the answer is 25296

Each PAIR of stations means a PAIR of tickets (A to B and B to A)
2(old stations)(new stations) + 2(new stations)(new stations – 1) = 46
(N * X) + (X * (X – 1)) = 23
factoring ___ X (N + X – 1) = 23
23 is a prime number with only two factors, 1 and 23
so N = 23 and X = 1
Actual price is RS.60 and (plus)he got profit of 10%. So 60+ 10%(60) = 66
