Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:00:34:

Bus started at 8:00
it travelled with 18mph…
distance of destination is 27 miles…
we know velocity=(distance)/time
i.e., time=27/18hours=3/2hours=90 min…
i.e., the bus reached destination at 9:30
the bus stayed for 30 min…
so the bus started return journey at 10:00
now the bus returned with velocity 18 + (18/2)=27mph
the taken to the bus to travel = 27/27=1 hour = 60 min…
so bus would be returned on 11:00…

1/4 for rent
1/5 for travel
remaining for deposit in bank(i.e) 1/2+1/4+1/5=19/20 ; 1-19/20=1/20
so 1/20 for deposit
1/20(x)=50
hence x=1000
option c is the answer

Ques:- A person needs 6 steps to cover a distance of one slab. If he increases his foot length (step length) by 3 inches, he needs only 5 steps to cover the slabs length. What is the length of the each slab
Recent Answer : Added by Gary On 2021-08-23 11:42:46:

90 inches

Slab = 6(x) where x is each step
Slab = 5(x + 3)

6(x) = 5(x + 3)
6(x) = 5(x) + 15
x = 15 inches

So 6(x) = 6(15) = 90

Check: 5( x + 3) = 5(18) = 90

Slab size is 90 inches
