- C. 8:12 pm
- D. 8:35 pm
- Correct Answer
- 7:12 pm
ExplanationLet the cistern gets emptied in m h after 3:pm
Work done by A in m h, by B in (m - 1) h and by c in (m - 2) h= 0
? m/3 + (m - 1)/4 - (m - 2) = 0
? 4m + 3(m - 1) - 12(m - 2) = 0
? 5m = 21
? m = 21/5 = 4.2
? m = 4 h 12 min

Correct Answer: 76 m
Explanation:
If A runs 600 m, B runs 600 - 60 or, 540 m.
If A runs 400 m, B runs = 540 x 400 / 600 = 360 m.
Now, when B runs 500 m, C runs 500 - 50 = 450 m.
? When B runs 360 m, C runs = 450 * 360 / 500 = 324 m
? A beats C by 400 - 324 = 76 m.
Correct Answer: 4.5
Explanation:
Let Y = 0.15 / (0.5 / 15)
= (15/100) / [(5/100) / 15)
= 4.5
Correct Answer: Either 1 or 2
Explanation:
Putting arbitrary values of a and b.
IIIustration 1:
Let a = 9 and b = 8
HCF (8 + 9, 9 - 8)
HCF (17, 1) = 1
IIIustration 2:
Let a = 23 and b =17
HCF (17 + 23, 23 -17)
HCF ( 40, 6) = 2
Hence, HCF (a + b, a - b) can either be 1 or 2.
Correct Answer: 273258
Explanation:
| 5358 x 51 | = 5358 x (50 + 1) |
