Answer: 10
Reason:
The best case happens ONLY when each rat dies just as they
taste the FIRST bottle given to them (you can imagine it a
miracle 😀 )
In this case, the very first 10 attempts reveal the
poisonous bottles. So the answer is 10.

Ques:- A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 815 in 3 years and to Rs. 854 in 4 years. The sum is?
Recent Answer : Added by Shitoshe Wangatia On 2021-12-11 15:07:20:

Simple interest Formula:
A=P(1+rt)
Therefore,
815=P(1+3r)
P+3r=815

854=P(1+4r)
P+4r=854
Solve the sums using Elimination method.
P+4r=854
P+3r=815
r=39.
Toget Principal
P+4r=854
P+4*39=854
P=854-117
P=698

direction vector of all the ants/people change according to
the first person.
The independent path of each person taken will be spiral in
nature.

Ques:- Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror, facing it. Raise your left hand. Raise your right hand. Look at your reflection. When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be his right hand. But when you tilt your head up, your reflection does too, and does not appear to tilt his/her head down. Why is it that the mirror appears to reverse left and right, but not up and down?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:39:

The definition of left and right depends on the observer and
is reversed when facing the opposite direction. The
definition of up and down does not depend on the orientation
of the observer.

Ques:- Ajay and Vijay have some marbles with them. Ajay told Vijay “if you give me ‘x’ marbles, both of us will have equal number of marbles”. Vijay then told Ajay “if you give me twice as many marbles, I will have 30 more marbles than you would”. Find ‘x’?
Recent Answer : Added by Kristi Bardhan On 2022-09-02 17:04:00:

If Vijay gives ‘x’ marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V – x and A + x marbles.
V – x = A + x — (1)
If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A – 2x and V + 2x marbles.
V + 2x – (A – 2x) = 30 => V – A + 4x = 30 — (2)
From (1) we have V – A = 2x
Substituting V – A = 2x in (2)
6x = 30 => x = 5.

Ques:- A car travels a certain distance taking 7 hrs in forward journey, during the return journey increased speed 12km/hr takes the times 5 hrs.What is the distance travelled
A. 210 kms
B. 30 kms
C. 20 kms
D. none of these
Recent Answer : Added by Michael Torcaso On 2022-08-14 16:28:58:

Let d = 7r. And use distance is = rate × time
7r= ( r+12) 5
7r= 5r + 60
Subtract 5r from both sides
2r = 60
Divide out 2
Rate = 30 km/h
Original question 30 km/h × 7 = 210
30 +12 = 42× 5 = 210
