Options- A. 142
- B. 175
- C. 212
- D. 253
- Correct Answer
- 253
ExplanationThe first person shakes hands with 22 different people, the second person also shakes hands with 22 different people, but one of those handshakes was counted in the 22 for the first person, so the second person actually shakes hands with 21 new people. The third person, 20 people, and so on...
So,
22 + 21 + 20 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1
= n(n+1)/2 = 22 x 23 /2 = 11 x 23 = 253. - 1. A, B and C are employed to do a piece of work for $575. A and C are supposed to finish 19 / 23 of the work together. Amount shall be paid to B is:

Correct Answer: 15 days
Explanation:
X's 1 day's work = 1/12
(X + Y)' s 1 day's work = 3/20
? Y's 1 day's work = (3/20) - (1/12) = 4/60 = 1/15
? Number of day's taken by Y to complete the work = 15 days
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Let rate = R% and time = R years.
| Then, | ❨ | 1200 x R x R | ❩ | = 432 |
| 100 |
⟹ 12R2 = 432
⟹ R2 = 36
⟹ R = 6.
Correct Answer: 27 7⁄9 m
Explanation:
| Relative speed = (40 - 20) km/hr = | ❨ | 20 x | 5 | ❩ | m/sec = | ❨ | 50 | ❩ | m/sec. |
| 18 | 9 |
| ∴ Length of faster train = | ❨ | 50 | x 5 | ❩ | m = | 250 | m = 27 | 7 | m. |
| 9 | 9 | 9 |
Correct Answer: 11 !/2
