Ques:- In 1000 wine bottles stack 10 are poisoned given 10 rats what is the minimum number of tries to find the poisoned one. Rat dies once it licks the poisoned wine.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:05:45:

Answer: 10
Reason:
The best case happens ONLY when each rat dies just as they
taste the FIRST bottle given to them (you can imagine it a
miracle πŸ˜€ )
In this case, the very first 10 attempts reveal the
poisonous bottles. So the answer is 10.

Ques:- A positive number when decreased by 2 is equal to 15 times the reciprocal of the number. What is the number ?
Recent Answer : Added by Abhi Chatterjee On 2022-01-08 16:05:35:

Let the number be x.

So x-2 =15/x, or

x^2–2x-15=0, or

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Hence x = 5 or -3.

Check: When x=5, 5–2=3 which is 15/5=3.

When x=-3, -3–2=-5 which is 15/-3=-5.

The number is 5 or -3.

Ques:- A,B and C needs 8, 12 and 16 days respectively to finish a task. How many days will it take if A works for 2 days then B works on it until 25% of the job is left for C to do, and C completes the work?
Recent Answer : Added by Deven Sharma On 2023-05-31 18:36:37:

To solve this problem, we can break it down into steps:

Step 1: Determine the individual rates of work for A, B, and C.

If A needs 8 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/8 of the task per day.
If B needs 12 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/12 of the task per day.
If C needs 16 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/16 of the task per day.

Step 2: Calculate the combined work rate of A and B.

If A works for 2 days, their contribution will be 2 * (1/8) = 1/4 of the task completed.
If B works until 25% of the job is left for C, then they will complete 75% of the task.

Step 3: Calculate the time it takes for B to complete 75% of the task.

Since B’s work rate is 1/12 of the task per day, it will take B (75%)/(1/12) = 9 days to complete 75% of the task.

Step 4: Calculate the remaining work for C.

If B completes 75% of the task, then the remaining work for C is 100% – 75% = 25% of the task.

Step 5: Calculate the time it takes for C to complete the remaining work.

Since C’s work rate is 1/16 of the task per day, it will take C (25%)/(1/16) = 4 days to complete the remaining 25% of the task.

Step 6: Calculate the total time required.

A worked for 2 days, B worked for 9 days, and C worked for 4 days, totaling 2 + 9 + 4 = 15 days.

Therefore, it will take a total of 15 days for A to work for 2 days, B to work until 25% of the job is left, and C to complete the remaining work.

Ques:- A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of the son is:
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 18:02:37:

Let the age of the man be x
Then age of his son becomes (xβˆ’24)

2 years later from now,

Age of man will be = x+2
and age of his son will be =(xβˆ’24+2)=xβˆ’22

According to question,

2(xβˆ’22)=x+2

i.e., 2xβˆ’44=x+2

i.e., x=46

Therefore ,
Present age of man=46 years
And present age of his son =46βˆ’24=22 years

Ques:- Two trains are on same track and they are coming toward each other. The speed of first train is 50 KMs/h and the speed of second train is 70 KMs/h. A bee starts flying between the trains when the distance between two trains is 100 KMs. The bee first flies from first train to second train. Once it reaches the second train, it flies back to the second train ? and so on until trains collide. Calculate the total distance traveled by the bee. Speed of bee is 40 KMs/h. .
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-15 09:17:12:

Answer: 66.67 km approx.

Solution:

Let the first train A move at u km/h.
Let the second train B move at v km/h.
Let the distance between two trains be d km
Let the speed of bee be b km/h
Therefore, the time taken by trains to collide = d/(u+v)
Now putting all the known values into the above equation, we get,

u = 50 km/hr
v = 70 km/hr
d = 100 km
b = 80 km/hr

Therfore, the total distance travelled by bee
= b*d/(u+v)
= 80 * 100/(50+70)
= 66.67 km (approx)

Ques:- Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror, facing it. Raise your left hand. Raise your right hand. Look at your reflection. When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be his right hand. But when you tilt your head up, your reflection does too, and does not appear to tilt his/her head down. Why is it that the mirror appears to reverse left and right, but not up and down
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-30 16:27:07:

The definition of left and right depends on the observer and
is reversed when facing the opposite direction. The
definition of up and down does not depend on the orientation
of the observer.
