- Question
- The distance travelled by a train is 1830 km. The speed of the train is one more than twice the time taken to travel the distance. What will be the respective ratio of the speed of the train and time taken to travel?
Options- A. 30 : 61
- B. 61 : 30
- C. 25 : 51
- D. 51 : 25
- Correct Answer
- 61 : 30
ExplanationLet time taken to cover the distance = t
? Speed = (2t + 1)
? t(2t + 1) = 1830 ? 2t2 + t = 1830
? 2t2 + t - 1830 = 0
? t = -1 ± ?(1)2 - 4 x 2 x(-1830) / 2 x 2
= -1 ± ?1 + 14640 / 4
= -1 ± 121 / 4
Taking '+' sign t = -1 + 121 / 4 = 120/4 = 30
? Required ratio = (2 x 30 + 1) : 30 = 61 : 30 - 1. ?. x 4 ? 227 = 398
?. y 2 + 321 = 346

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
According to question ,we can say that
From equation ?. x4 = 398 + 227 = 625
? x4 = 54
From equation ?. y2 = 346 - 321 = 25
? y2 = 52
Correct Answer: Sunday
Explanation:
The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.
∴ The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.
Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.
∴ 6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).
Correct Answer: 23
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Couldn't be determined
Explanation:
Couldn't be determined, since the total amount of money is not given in either of the case
Correct Answer: a2 : c2
Explanation:
Given that a /b = b/c
? b2 = ac
? a4 : b4 = a4 : a2 c2 = a2 : c2
Correct Answer: 4 km/h
Explanation:
Given, A = 6 km/h, B = 3 km/ h
According to the formula, Average speed = 2AB/(A + B)
? Required average speed = 2 x 6 x 3/(6 + 3)
= 36/9 = 4 km/h
Correct Answer: 2 h
Explanation:
Given that, W + D = 6 ...(i)
[ w = Time taken while walking and
D = Time taken while driving ]
From Eq. (i)
5 +D = 6
? D = 1
2D = 2 x 1 = 2
? He will take 2 h to drive both ways.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
175760 = 24 x 5 x 13 3
= 23 x 2 x 5 x 133
To make perfect cube, it must be divided by 2 x 5 = 10
Correct Answer: p2 = 4q
Explanation:
On comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0 , we get a = 1, b = p, c = q
The roots of the equation x2 + px + q = 0 are equal if
b2 - 4ac = 0
? p2 - 4q = 0 ? p2 = 4q.
Thus , required answer is option B .
Correct Answer: 1 : 9
Explanation:
Let the volume be x3 and 27x3
? Their edges are x and 3x
Now Ratio of their surface area = 6x2 : 54x2 = 1 : 9
