10000

one-legged =5% of 10000=500

remaining=10000-500=9500

barefooted=9500/2=4750

remaining people= 9500-4750=4750

hence required number of shoes= 4750*2+500*1=100005% of 10000 = 500 one legged

9500 / 2 = 4750 bare foot

minium no of shoes = 4750*2 + 500*1 = 10000

Ques:- Two pipes X and Y can separately fill a cistern in 18 and 24 hours respectively. If they are turned on alternately for one hour each, how long will it take to fill the cistern?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 17:08:06:

X filling rate is 1/18 or 4/72 per hour

Y filling rate is 1/24 or 3/72 per hour

Combined as a pair it’s 7/72 in a complete 2 hour alternating sequence

72+ 7/72 =10 sequences = 70/72 on 20 hours, The outstanding balance is just 2/72

So at 20.5 hours with X turn filling is 100% complete with 72/72

Answer: It will take 20.5 hours to completely fill this tank.

Analysis of measured filling process, from X = 42/72 share & from Y = 30/72 share

Ques:- Two cars, 15 km apart one is turning at a speed of 50kmph other at 40kmph . How will it take to two cars meet.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 11:59:19:

A is travelling at 50kmph, B is travelling at 40
kmph……..according to the formula
time taken to meet = distance between them
———————-
relative speed of two vehicles
so, time taken to meet= 15/(50-40)=15/10=3/2hrs

Ques:- 2 men r playing tossing a coin. If one of them wins he gets 1$ from the loser. At the end of a no. of games, one of them had lost 3$ and the other won 3 times. How many games did they play?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 15:53:16:

Let and A and B are playing and A has 3$ and B won 3 times.

Total money earn by A = no of games A won – no of games A loss
if A loss game means B won.
Therefore
Total money earn by A = no of games A won – no of games B won
3 = no of games A won -3
no of games A won=6
So
A won = 6 games
B won = 3 games

Hence total no of games is 9

let the total no of breads be x.
1st man 2nd man
x- (x/2) – 1/2 – 1/2((x-1)/2) – 1/2 ….. so on.
ans is 31.
first ate : 15.5 + .5 = 16 remaining 15
second ate : 7.5+0.5 = 8 remaining 7.
third ate : 3.5 +0.5 = 4 remaining 3.
fourth ate : 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 remaining 1
fifth ate : 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 remaining 0

Ques:- If you take a marker & start from a corner on a cube, what is the maximum number of edges you can trace across if you never trace across the same edge twice, never remove the marker from the cube, & never trace anywhere on the cube, except for the corners & edges?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-17 06:27:50:

Maximum number of edges = 9. Start from one corner. Select any face including that corner. Complete a square (4 edges) around the face to reach at the starting corner point . Now, move to the opposite face through the edge joining them and passing through the starting point(1 edge). Now, complete the square of edges around this face(4 edges). Total = 4+1+4 = 9 edges

Ques:- A clerk multiplied a number by ten when it should have been divided by ten.The ans he got was 100.what should the ans have been?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:36:

Let the number be X,
Instead of dividing the number by 10, i.e.,X*10.
he got the result as 100,
so, (X*10)=100
X=100/10
X=10.
BUt he has to divide X by 10,
so, X/10=10/10=1.
obviously the answer is 1.
