Correct Answer: 1800
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
All the three friends will meet at the starting point again after X seconds, such that X is the LCM of the times taken by J, K and L to complete one round.
=> LCM of 12, 18 and 20 = 180 seconds = 3 minutes.
Hence 3 minutes is the answer.
Correct Answer: 1800
Correct Answer: 7
Correct Answer: 1767
Correct Answer: Data inadequate
Correct Answer: 108 m
Explanation:
We know the rule that,
At particular time for all object , ratio of height and shadow are same.
Let the height of the pole be 'H'
Then
=> H = 108 m.
Correct Answer: 273 m
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Average speed = total distance / total time
Total distance covered = 6 miles; total time = 45 minutes = 0.75 hours
Average speed = 6/ 0.75 = 8 miles/hour
Correct Answer: 66.6 mts
