Ques:- a train is moving at speed of 25 kmph , another train moving the same direction at a speed of 49 kmph crossed a man in the first train in 10 sec ? wht is the length of the second train ?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:04:15:

Relative velocity of trains = 49kmph -25 kmph = 24kmph
=6.67m/s
Time taken to cross the first train = 10 sec
Length of the second train = Relative Velocity * Time taken
to cross the first Train = 6.67 *10 = 66.7 metres

C. 40 years
D. 50 years

Let x be fathers present age and y be son present age.
5 yrs ago, the age of father and son be x-5 & y-5.
Then,
x-5+y-5=40
x+y-10=40
x+y=50
y=50-x ———–> (1)
ratio between father and son in present age
x:y=4:1
x/y=4/1
x=4y
Apply eq (1) ,
x=4(50-x)
x=200-4x
x+4x=200
5x=200
x=200/5
x=40,,
=> The present age of father is 40.

Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 18:09:06:

let the amount of money be x

cloths 1/3 X x=rs.x/3

balance = x- x/3 = 2x/3

food = 1/5 X 2x/3 = 2x/15

balance = 2x/3 – 2x/15= 8x/15

travel = 1/4 X 8x/15 = 2x/15

now he has 100 rupees

2x/5 = 100
2x= 500
x = 500/2
x = 250
