Ques:- A car is travelling at a uniform speed. The driver sees a milestone showing a 2-digit number. After travelling for an hour the driver sees another milestone with the same digits in reverse order. After another hour the driver sees another milestone containing the same two digits. What is the average speed of the driver.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 15:13:36:

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

Ques:- There are two candles of equal lengths and of different thickness. The thicker one lasts of six hours. The thinner 2 hours less than the thicker one. Ramesh lights the two candles at the same time. When he went to bed he saw the thicker one is twice the length of the thinner one. How long ago did Ramesh light the two candles?
Recent Answer : Added by Naru Mani Chandan On 2022-03-18 09:18:12:

3 hours ago.

Thin candle melts 3/4 in 3 hours leaving 1/4
Where as in the same time thick candle melts 3/6 leaving 3/6 which is 1/2. Now thick candle is exactly twice than the thin candle.

Or via modeling:

We need to find time at which the length of the thin candle is half the thick candle. Let x be the time. Thin candle melts at 1/4 an hour and thick candle melts at 1/6 an hour. In x hours they melt at x/4 and x/6 respectively. What’s left will be 1 – x/4 and 1 – x/6. We need to find x at which :

2 * (1 – (x/4)) = 1 – (x/6)

This equation results in x = 3

Ques:- If the 3 digit number AB9 is a perfect square then is A an odd digit?
Recent Answer : Added by Shitoshe Wangatia On 2021-12-11 15:07:15:

A perfect square is a square number of a digit. eg 64 is a perfect number, a square of 8
Now digits AB9 is a square number of a number.
AB9 Can also be written as A multiply by B multiply by 9
Get the Square root of AB9
Assumption, A=1, B=1
1*1=1=A, 1*1=1=B Therefore,
Square root of A = A, B = B and 9=3
Therefore
An odd number is a number indivisible by 2.
for example 1,3,5,7…….
Therefore Squares A*B*9= AB9
Where a=1, b=1, 3 as digits.
Conclusion
A=1 is an odd number

Ques:- A boat takes 90 minutes less to travel 36 miles downstream than to travel the same distance upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph, the speed of the stream is:
Recent Answer : Added by Sanjeevnaidu On 2022-09-02 17:04:42:

Let speed of stream be v mph
Then,
36/(10-v) = 1.5hr + 36/(10+v)
On solving, we get speed of stream as v = 2mph.

Ques:- A rich man died. In his will, he has divided his gold coins among his 5 sons, 5 daughters and a manager. According to his will: First give one coin to manager. 1/5th of the remaining to the elder son.Now give one coin to the manager and 1/5th of the remaining to second son and so on….. After giving coins to 5th son, divided the remaining coins among five daughters equally.All should get full coins. Find the minimum number of coins he has?
Recent Answer : Added by Biplab Nath On 2021-07-31 16:35:53:

Answer: 3121 gold coins
Let total no of coins be M
Let the disbursement D to each son:

D1 = 1 + (M – 1)/5 = (M + 4)/5
D2 = 1 + ( M – D1 -1)/5 = (D1) * 4/5
D3= (D2) * 4/5
D4= (D3) * 4/5
D5= (D4) * 4/5
Total disbursements to sons=
= ∑D= (M+4)*1/5[ 1+4/5+(4/5)(4/5)+ (4/5)(4/5)(4/5)+(4/5)(4/5)(4/5)(4/5) ]
= (2101/3125)*(M+4)
Thus balance left for daughters =M-{(2101/3125)*(M+4)}
=(1024M-8404)/3125
This balance should be a positive integer ( assuming M and all disbursements are full coins )
Thus 1024M-8404 should be a multiple of 3125….so….
1024M – 8404 = N*3125 where N is an integer
Using Python code:
n=int(input(“Enter num n: “))
X=int()
a=int()
a=0
X=’ ‘
for a in range(0,n+1):
a=a+1
X= (3125*a + 8404)/1024
if (3125*a + 8404)% 1024== 0:
print(X,a)
Enter num n: 10000
3121.0 1020
6246.0 2044
9371.0 3068
12496.0 4092
15621.0 5116
18746.0 6140
21871.0 7164
24996.0 8188
28121.0 9212
We get minimum value of N = 1021 and M = 3121 gold coins
