|
Answer» Let the number of STUDENTS in ROOMS A and B be x and y respectively. Then, x - 10 = y + 10 x - y = 20 .... (i) and x + 20 = 2(y - 20) x - 2y = -60 .... (ii) Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80. The required answer A = 100. Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively. Then, x - 10 = y + 10 x - y = 20 .... (i) and x + 20 = 2(y - 20) x - 2y = -60 .... (ii) Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80. The required answer A = 100. |

Robert Is Travelling On His Cycle And Has Calculated To Reach Point A At 2 P.m. If He Travels At 10 Kmph, He Will Reach There At 12 Noon If He Travels At 15 Kmph. At What Speed Must He Travel To Reach A At 1 P.m.? |
|
Answer» Let the DISTANCE travelled by x km. Then,x/10-x/15= 2 3x - 2x = 60 x = 60 km. Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr =[60/10]HRS= 6 hrs. So, ROBERT started 6 hours before 2 P.M. i.e., at 8 A.M. REQUIRED speed =[60/5]kmph.= 12 kmph. Let the distance travelled by x km. Then,x/10-x/15= 2 3x - 2x = 60 x = 60 km. Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr =[60/10]hrs= 6 hrs. So, Robert started 6 hours before 2 P.M. i.e., at 8 A.M. Required speed =[60/5]kmph.= 12 kmph. |

|
Answer» Let the duration of the flight be x hours. Then,600/x-600/x + (1/2)= 200 600/x-1200/2X + 1= 200 x(2x + 1) = 3 2X2 + x - 3 = 0 (2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 x= 1 hr. Let the duration of the flight be x hours. Then,600/x-600/x + (1/2)= 200 600/x-1200/2x + 1= 200 x(2x + 1) = 3 2x2 + x - 3 = 0 (2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 x= 1 hr. |

The Diameter Of A Circle Is 21 Metres. It Will Take How Many Revolutions To Cover A Distance Of 6.6 Km? |
|
Answer» No. of REVOLUTIONS = DISTANCE/circumference. Distance = 6.6 × 1000 = 6600 METRES. Circumference = 2 × 22/7 × 21/2 = 66 metres. No. of revolutions = 6600/66 = 100 revolutions. No. of revolutions = Distance/circumference. Distance = 6.6 × 1000 = 6600 metres. Circumference = 2 × 22/7 × 21/2 = 66 metres. No. of revolutions = 6600/66 = 100 revolutions. |
