Ques:- A train 100 m long crosses a platform 125 m long in 15 sec; find the speed of the train?
Recent Answer : Added by GAURAV WAGHELA On 2022-03-09 16:35:13:

1km is equal to 1000 meter
Therefore 225 meter is how many km
Then we have to cross multiply
1km – 1000 meter
? – 225 meter
0.225 km
Then we have to apply formula
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = 0.225/12 sec
= 0.01875×3600sec
= 67.5
Therefore speed of train is = 67.5

Ques:- There are 3 baskets. one of them have apples, one has oranges only and the other has mixture of apples and oranges. The labels on their baskets always lie. (i.e. if the label says oranges, you are sure that it doesn’t have oranges only,it could be a mixture) The task is to pick one basket and pick only one fruit from it and then correctly label all the three baskets.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:30:

Take one fruit from box with label mixture. If we see
orange, because the basket lies (it cant have a mixture),
then it has only oranges. The other 2 are labeled apples and
oranges. The one labeled apples,
cannot have oranges inside, cos they are allready been
identified, and because it lies, it cannot have apples either.
So it has a mixture. And we are left with the one labeled
oranges that lies and has apples.
