A bus started from bus stand at 8.

00a m and after 30 min staying at destination, it returned back to the bus stand. The destination is 27 miles from the bus stand. The speed of the bus 50 percent fast speed. At what time it returns to the bus stand. (a) 11a.m (b) 12a.m (c) 10a.m (d) 10.30p.m
Answer is 11 a.m. .let da speed of bus is V..so it takes time in going T1=(27/V) and speed increases 50 % ,while returning time takenT2 =(27/1.5V=18/V) and it stops for 30 mins i.e., (.5 hr).therefore total time taken T=(27/V+18/V+.5). den average speed ,V=total dist.travld upon total time i.e.,V=2*27/T on solving we get V = 18 kmph hence finally time taken while going =1.5hr +staying time (.5hr.)+time in returning with increased speed of 27kmph(1hr.) hence total time taken=3 hrs. hence 11a.m. dats all I can do fr ur help . 364, 361, 19, 16, 4, 1, ? 364-3=361 sqrt(361)=19 19-3=16 sqrt(16)=4 4-3=1 sqrt(1)=1 Ans=1

3,6,13,26,33,66, ?
Next Number will be 73. 3*2 = 6 6+7 = 13 13*2 = 26 26+ 7 = 33 33*2 = 66 66 + 7 = 73 and the pattern goes like this..

In a restaurant with a staff of 5 members, the avg age is 45 yrs. after 5 years, a person joins them and the avg age is again 45 yrs. what is the age of 6th person?

total age of 5 members = 5*45= 225 after 5 years the total age of 5 members becomes, 225+25= 250 let the age of the 6th member be x yrs therefore; (250+x)/6= 45 => x= 20 yrs

If cosec18degree=secA, then the measure of A is?

Monthly income of X and Y are in the ratio 1:3 and their expenses are in the ratio 19:40. X saves 18,860 less than Y and in total they save 36,020. what are their respective incomes?
x-19y=8580,3x-40y=27440..solve them ans a=10480,b=31440

sheet of paper has statements numbered from 1 to 45. For all values of n from 1 to 45, statement n says At most n of the statements on this sheet are false. Which statements are true and which are false? A. The odd numbered statements are true and the even numbered are false. B. The even numbered statements are true and the odd numbered are false. C. All statements are true
ans:(C) All statements are True. eliminate 1 st and 2nd optionno sense of having odd or even numbered stmt in this puzzle. so ans is (C) {Explnation: At 45th stmt, condition is true. coz most 45 of statements on this sheet are false. which is true At stmt no n=35, condition is false, cos there are 10 more statments are remaining which may be true or false, and so on} So, to prove the condition as TRUE then all stmt must be TRUE.

Six bells commence tolling together and toll at intervals of 2, 4, 6, 8 10 and 12 seconds respectively. In 30 minutes, how many times do they toll together? (a) 4 (b) 10 (c) 15 (d) 16
Sol: LCM of 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 is 12o i.e 120 sec = 2 min In 3o min [(30/2)+1] ..here 1 is added for last toll = 16 ans:(d) 16

Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hrs ago. And horse started to ran with average speed 22km/hr, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth 3m, and it crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After traveling 6 hrs, 2hrs after sunset it got dog. compute the speed of dog?
Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it Hence d = 22*6 = 132km, Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier). Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr Ans:16.5km/hr.
