But, 64 is out of pattern.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Each of the numbers is a prime number except 12.
Correct Answer: 87.5 km/hr
Explanation:
Let the speed of two trains be 7x and 8x km/hr.
| Then, 8x = | ❨ | 400 | ❩ | = 100 |
| 4 |
| ⟹ x = | ❨ | 100 | ❩ | = 12.5 |
| 8 |
∴ Speed of first train = (7 x 12.5) km/hr = 87.5 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 224 km
Explanation:
| (1/2)x | + | (1/2)x | = 10 |
| 21 | 24 |
| ⟹ | x | + | x | = 20 |
| 21 | 24 |
⟹ 15x = 168 x 20
| ⟹ x = | ❨ | 168 x 20 | ❩ | = 224 km. |
| 15 |
Correct Answer: 50 km
Explanation:
Let the actual distance travelled be x km.
| Then, | x | = | x + 20 |
| 10 | 14 |
⟹ 14x = 10x + 200
⟹ 4x = 200
⟹ x = 50 km.
Correct Answer: 1 hour
Explanation:
Let the duration of the flight be x hours.
| Then, | 600 | - | 600 | = 200 |
| x | x + (1/2) |
| ⟹ | 600 | - | 1200 | = 200 |
| x | 2x + 1 |
⟹ x(2x + 1) = 3
⟹ 2x2 + x - 3 = 0
⟹ (2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
⟹ x = 1 hr. [neglecting the -ve value of x]
