E non of those

24kmph

time taken = x/40 + 2x/20
=> x=8
so, 3x = 24

(b) 330 is the amswer
as the no of toys are equall to no of students
18*18= 324
left out toys afetr distribution = 6
so 324+6= 330

let no. of boys not participating be x
then the no. of girls not participating = x+5
no. of boys : girls participating = 3:2
given no.of boys participating = 15
therefore, the ratio is now 15:y(say)
then 3:2 = 15 : x
on solving 3/2 =15/y ie.., 3y =30 we get y =10
hence no. of girls participating =10
therefore total no of students paricipating = 15+10=25
total no of students in class =60 given
hence no. of students not participating = 60-25=35
therefore x+(x+5)=35
2x=30
x=15
therfore no of girls not participating =15+5=20
therefore total no of girls in class = no of girls
participating + no of girls not participating
=10+20
=30 is the answer

2 urns, 9 balls.
4(2)+1=9 and 3(2)+3=9
You can’t put 4 balls in each of 7 urns with balls left over when 7*4=28. 28>24.

Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:

1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.

Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.

2. Weigh G versus H.

Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.

Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.

2. Weigh A versus B.

Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.

Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

answer is maximum of 2.

The formula to find number of diagonals (D) given total number of vertices or sides (N) is

N * (N – 3)

D = ———–

2

Using the formula, we get
1325 * 2 = N * (N – 3)
N2 – 3N – 2650 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get N = 53 or -50

It is obvious that answer is 53 as number of vertices can not be negative.

Alternatively, you can derive the formula as triange has 0 diagonals, quadrangel has 2, pentagon has 5, hexagon has 9 and so on……

Hence the series is 0, 0, 0, 2, 5, 9, 14, …….. (as diagram with 1,2 or 3 vertices will have 0 diagonals).

Using the series one can arrive to the formula given above.

let the for digit number be = pqrs
p=q/3 ==>q = 3p
r=p+q=p+3p =4p
s=3q = 3(3P)=9p
number:
p 3p 4p 9p
let p=1 answer is 1349
if it 2 answer 2 6 8 18
so it becomes five digit number so correct answer is 1349

Its Alphabet “e”
