Let 10’splace digit is x and unit’s place digit y

First milestone : 10x+y
Second milestone : 10y+x
Third milestone: 100x+y

Since the speed is uniform so
Distance covered in first Hr = Distance covered in Second Hr
(10y+x)-(10x+y) = (100x+y)-(10y+x)
After solving, we get —-> y=6x but since x and y are digits so only possible combination is x=1 and y=6,
So average speed = 45 KM/HR

13 and 15

but how?

let square be x (squares are 4 sides)
i.e., X+X+X+X=4X
4X+3=1460
4X=1460-3
4X=1457
X=364.25

put 1 red marble in one jar and all the rest (99) in the
other.
This gives you 50% from the first jar (if they pick that
jar they will get red 100% of the time). For the other jar
the chances are 49/99 or 49.494949%. Divide that by 2 and
its 24.7474%. Total odds are 50% plus 24.7474% = 74.7474%

Correct option is A)
2nd term =(1stterm×1+2)=(4×1+2)=6
3rd term =(2ndterm×2+3)=(6×2+3)=15
4th term =(3rdterm×3+4)=(15×3+4)=49
5th term =(4thterm×4+5)=(49×4+5)=201 and so on
∴5 is wrong.

Assuming the youngest has X years, so we have
X+(X+3)+(X+6)+(X+9)+(X+12)=50
5X+30=50
5X=20
X=4
The youngest has 4 years

3 groups

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
