Answer : 1. "36 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 36 days Explanation: Given the ratio of efficiencies of P, Q & R are 3 : 8 : 5 Let the efficiencies of P, Q & R be 3x, 8x and 5x respectively They can do work for 12 days. => Total work = 12 x 16x = 192x Now, the required time taken by Q to complete the job alone = 162x8x = 24 days.
Q: Avinash gave a sum of 5400 at the simple rate of interest of 8% to Rajeev for 4 years and Rajeev gave this amount to Chanukya at the rate of 6% for 4 years. Find how much extra amount has to be paid by Rajeev to Avinash after 4 years? 1405 05b5cc698e4d2b4197774c618

Answer: B) Rs. 432 Explanation: Here Avinash gave to Rajeev and Rajeev gave the same to Chanukya Principal amount and Time is same but the only difference is Rate of interest. Rajeev took @ 8% and gave it to Chanukya @ 6% Here the difference in interest rate = 2% 2% of 5400 should be the extra amount paid by Rajeev to Avinash Required amount = 2 x 5400 x 4100 = 432 Hence, Rs. 432 is the extra amount has to be paid by Rajeev to Avinash after 4 years.

Answer : 1. "200 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 200 mts Explanation: Length of train A = 48 x 9 x 5/18 = 120 mts Length of train B = 48 x 24 x 5/18 - 120 => 320 - 120 = 200 mts.
