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

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.

The probability that a child will be born male on any given day is always 1/2.
Suppose:
In any time period, the family making out babies and half boys and another half girls then, In the next time period: half the families turn themselves off and again the half remaining families making out the babies which repeat the first period.
