5. Two trains, one 350 ft long, the other 14. What is the largest number of pigeonholes
450 ft long, on parallel tracks, can pass that can be occupied by 100 pigeons if
each other completely in 8 seconds when each hole is occupied, but no two holes
moving in opposite directions. When contain the same number of pigeons?
moving in the same direction, the faster A. 12 C. 14
train completely passes the slower one in B. 13 D. cannot happen
16 seconds. Find the speed of the faster
train. 15. There are n points on a circle. A
A. 25fps B. 40fps C. 50fps D. 75fps straight line-segment is drawn between
each pair of points. How many
6. A freight train leaves a station and intersections are there the circle if no
travels at the rate of 30 kph. Two hours 3 lines are concurrent?
later, an express train leaves the same A. (nP4)/24 C. nC3
station traveling in the same direction B. (nC4)/24 D. nP3
at a rate of 50 kph. In how many hours
will the express train be 10 km behind 16. Find the values of b for which the line y
the freight train? = 3x + b and the parabola y2 = 5x will
