Recent Answer : Added by Mayank On 2021-10-02 15:45:24:

Alcohol content from
2 l of A (62.5%) : 1.35L
4L of B (87.5%) : 3.50L

Total Acohol content in 6 L : 4.85L or 80.8%

Ques:- How many seconds will a 500 m long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 3 km/hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 63 km/hr?
Recent Answer : Added by Bhoomi Patel On 2021-08-19 17:24:21:

speed of the train respect to man
= (63 – 3) km/hr
= 60 km/hr
= 60 * 1000 / 3600 m/sec
= 50/3 m/sec

time
= distance/speed
= 500 * 3/ 50
= 30 sec

Ques:- A man could buy a certain number of notebooks for Rs.300. If each notebook cost is Rs.5 more, he could have bought 10 notebooks less for the same amount. Find the price of each notebook?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 19:24:04:

According to the question:
⇒(x+5)(y−10)=300
⇒xy+5y−10x−50=xy
⇒5×300​−10x−50=0
⇒−150+x2+5x=0
⇒x2+15x−10x−150=0
⇒x(x+15)−10(x+15)=0
⇒x=10 or −15
Price cannot be negative
So, As x>0,x=10.

Ques:- Two trains of equal length when moving in opposite direction takes 5 sec. to cross each other completely and when moving in same direction takes 15 sec. Find the ratio of their speed.
Recent Answer : Added by Deven Sharma On 2023-05-31 18:18:48:

Let’s assume the length of each train is ‘L’ and the speeds of the two trains are ‘V₁’ and ‘V₂’ respectively.

When the trains are moving in the opposite direction, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. The total distance they need to cover is the sum of their lengths. Since they cross each other completely in 5 seconds, we can set up the following equation:

(V₁ + V₂) × 5 = 2L

When the trains are moving in the same direction, their relative speed is the difference between their individual speeds. The total distance they need to cover is the difference between their lengths. Since they cross each other completely in 15 seconds, we can set up the following equation:

(V₁ – V₂) × 15 = 2L

Now, let’s solve these equations to find the ratio of their speeds.

From the first equation, we have:
(V₁ + V₂) × 5 = 2L
V₁ + V₂ = (2L) / 5

From the second equation, we have:
(V₁ – V₂) × 15 = 2L
V₁ – V₂ = (2L) / 15

Let’s add these two equations together:
V₁ + V₂ + V₁ – V₂ = (2L) / 5 + (2L) / 15
2V₁ = (6L + 2L) / 15
2V₁ = (8L) / 15
V₁ = (4L) / 15

So, the speed of the first train is (4L) / 15.

Now, let’s substitute this value back into the first equation to find V₂:
(4L) / 15 + V₂ = (2L) / 5
V₂ = (2L) / 5 – (4L) / 15
V₂ = (6L – 4L) / 15
V₂ = (2L) / 15

Therefore, the speed of the second train is (2L) / 15.

The ratio of their speeds is given by:
(V₁ / V₂) = ((4L) / 15) / ((2L) / 15)
(V₁ / V₂) = 4L / 2L
(V₁ / V₂) = 2

So, the ratio of their speeds is 2:1.

Ques:- One student takes 20 mins to reach school if he goes at a speed of 15kmph .At what speed should he go to reach in 15 mins ?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-30 16:26:23:

1) time =20mins,speed=15kmph=15*(5/18)=25/6 m/sec
distance=20*(25/6)=250/3 m
then 2) given as time =15min
speed=250/3*15=(50/9)*(18/5)kmph=20kmph
