The last person covered 120.71 meters.
It is given that the platoon and the last person moved with
uniform speed. Also, they both moved for the identical
amount of time. Hence, the ratio of the distance they
covered – while person moving forward and backword – are
equal.
Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first
person, the platoon moved X meters forward.
Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)
meters whereas the platoon moved X meters.
Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-
X)] X meters whereas the platoon moved (50-X) meters.
Now, as the ratios are equal,
(50+X)/X = X/(50-X)
(50+X)*(50-X) = X*X
Solving, X=35.355 meters
Thus, total distance covered by the last person
= (50+X) + X
= 2*X + 50
= 2*(35.355) + 50
= 120.71 meters
Note that at first glance, one might think that the total
distance covered by the last person is 100 meters, as he
ran the total lenght of the platoon (50 meters) twice.
TRUE, but that’s the relative distance covered by the last
person i.e. assuming that the platoon is stationary.

13 Kigs & 6 Libs –> 510tors in 10hrs
” –> 51 tors/hr
14 Libs –> 484 tors in 12hrs
” –> 121/3 tors/hr
1 Lib –> 121/42 tors/hr
==> 6 Libs –> 121/7 tors/hr
Now,
13 kigs and 6 Libs –> 51 tors/hr
Only 13 Kigs –> 51 – (121/7) tors/hr
= 236/91 tors/hr

Now as per question, Kamal invested for 12 months and Sameer invested for 7 months.
So, Kamal:Sameer=(9000×12​):(8000×7​)
=108.56=27:14
Sameer ratio in profit will be =6970×4114​=Rs.2380

128 is incorrect. There is a difference of multiples of 3 in the number pattern, which starts at 24 and reduces by 3 each time. Therefore the correct pattern would read 190, 166, 145, 127, 112, 100, 91.
this would leave the pattern with differences in the pattern 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9. The next number in the pattern would be 6 lower than 91. 91 – 6 = 85. Then 85 -3 – 82, followed by 82 – 0 = 82. After this, if -3 were taken the pattern would start to rise so 82 – – 3 = 85.

Let the numbers be x and x + 2.
Then, (x + 2)2 – x2 = 84
⇒ 4x + 4 = 84
⇒ 4x = 80
⇒ x = 20.
∴ The required sum
= x + (x + 2)
= 2x + 2
= 42
