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.

A—–>B (first train)
B——>A(second train)
A/B=Srureroot((time to B)/(time to A))
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.
The correct ANS: option C
a
It is due to the counter clockwise motion of the motor. The motor rotates in the counter clockwise direction the blades of the fan are attached to the motor hence the blades rotates in the anti clockwise direction. So it is due to the motor rotation the fan rotates in counter clockwise direction.
100 steps(1step/sec)
speed = 72 Kmph
Speed= 72 * 1000 / (60*60) m/s
speed= 72 * 5 / 18
speed= 20 m/s
time = 30 s
distance = 600 m
first 10 odd num are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19
sum=100
avg=100/10
avg of 10 odd num =10

0,8x= y
y – 0,7y = 270
y= 270 / 0,3
y=900
0,8x=900
x=1125
x- sum of first 4 values
y – 5th value
x/4 = 45
x=45*4=180
(x+y)/5 = 46
(180+y)/5=46
180+y=230
y=50
we know,
area=b*h
b gets increased by 20% i.e (b+0.20b)
h gets decreased by 20% i.e (h-0.20h)
rewriting the equation(area=b*h),
area=(b+0.20b)*(h-0.20h)
area=b(1+0.20)*h(1-0.20)
area=b(1.20)*h(0.80)
area=b*h*(1.20)*(0.80)
area=b*h*(0.96)
i.e new area=0.96 times the original area
if 100% was the original area,it has decreased to 96%
so,100%-96%= 4%
