Answer : 3. "528"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 528 Explanation: Assume x soldiers join the fort. 1200 soldiers have provision for 1200 (days for which provisions last them)(rate of consumption of each soldier)= (1200)(30)(3) kg. Also provisions available for (1200 + x) soldiers is (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) k As the same provisions are available=> (1200)(30)(3) = (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) x = ([(1200)(30)(3)] / (25)(2.5)) - 1200 => x = 528.

Q: Ramu rides his bike at an average speed of 45 km/hr and reaches his desitination in four hours. Somu covers the same distance in six hours. If Ramu covered his journey at an average speed which was 9 km/hr less and Somu covered his journey at an average speed which was 10 km/hr more, then the difference in their times taken to reach the destination would be (in minutes). 3915 05b5cc6e5e4d2b4197774ed15

Answer : 2. "30 min"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 30 min Explanation: Distance travelled by Ramu = 45 x 4 = 180 km Somu travelled the same distance in 6 hours. His speed = 180/6 = 30 km/hr Hence in the conditional case, Ramu's speed = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr and Somu's speed = 30 + 10 = 40km/hr. Therefore travel time of Ramu and Somu would be 5 hours and 4.5 hours respectively. Hence difference in the time taken = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes.

Answer : 1. "21 min"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 21 min Explanation: Let the pipe B be closed after 'K' minutes. 30/16 - K/24 = 1 => K/24 = 30/16 - 1 = 14/16 => K = 14/16 x 24 = 21 min.
