Balls- B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9.
Group1 – (B1, B2, B3), Group2 – (B4, B5, B6), Group3 – (B7, B8, B9)
Now weigh any two groups. Group1 on left side of the scale and Group2 on the right side.
When weighing scale tilts left – Group1 has a heavy ball or right – Group2 has a heavy ball or balanced – Group3 has a heavy ball.
Lets assume Group 1 has a heavy ball.
Now weigh any two balls from Group1. B1 on left side of the scale and B2 on right side.
When weighing scale tilts left – B1 is the heavy or tilts right – B2 is the heavy or balanced – B3 is the heavy.
– While the train is moving, the jogger will also be running in the same direction.
– for the head(engine) of the train to get to the current position of the jogger 240m away, it will take:
45km/hr => 12.5m/s => 240/12.5 = 19.2 seconds.
– But in the same period of time, the jogger will still be running and will have moved to a new location by: 9km/hr => 2.5m/s => 2.5 * 19.2 = 48m
To get to the new location at the speed of 12.5m/s will take the train:
48/12.5 = 3.84sec
In this additional time, the jogger will move forward by:
3.84 * 2.5 = 9.6m
at a speed of 12.5m/s, it will take the train less than a second to cover the additional 9.6m
If we add the distance the jogger will cover in 1 second to 9.6, it is still less than what the train can cover per second. let us see (9.6 + 2.5 = 12.1)
Therefore, the head of the train will pass the runner at approximately: 19.2 + 3.84 + 1 => 24.04 seconds.
For the train to completely pass the runner, it will need its whole length of 120m to be in front of the runner.
This will take an additional (9.6 + 2) seconds.
Therefore for the length of the train to be ahead of the runner it will take approx. 35.65 (24.04 + 9.6 + 2) seconds
Initially, potatoes have 99% water by weight ; which means they have 1% solid non-water content.
1% of 100 kg = 1 kg
Now even when they dehydrate,this 1kg solid mass remains constant.
It is given that finally, 98% is water by weight , which implies that 2% is non-water solid.
This means 2% of total weight = 1 kg
Total weight *2/100 = 1 kg
Therefore, total weight finally = 50 kg.

3 groups
Spade 13/52 = 1/4
King 4/52 = 1/13
Spade OR King 13/52 + 4/52 – 1/52 (because the King of Spades is in both groups) = 16/52 = 4/13
15, 16, 34, 105, 424, 2124, 12576
The series is 15, 16, 34, 105, 424, 2124, 12576
1) (15*1) + 1 = 16
2) (16*1) + 2 = 34
3) (34*3) + 3 = 105
4) (105*4) + 4 = 424
5) (424*5) + 5 = 2125
Clearly, they gave 2124 instead of 2125, so it is the wrong number in the series.
