Answer : 1. "Rs. 6000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 6000 Explanation: Let the sum invested be Rs. P Let the rate of interest be R% per annum => Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20 Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)% => SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100 Hence, PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600 => P = 6000 Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000

Answer : 1. "50 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 50 days Explanation: 50 men can build a tank in 40 days  Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units   50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work 45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work 40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work 35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and   Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units   30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.   Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10   Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.

Answer : 3. "36 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 36 kmph Explanation: Given speed of the first train = 60 km/hr = 60 x 5/18 = 50/3 m/s Let the speed of the second train = x m/s Then, the difference in the speed is given by 503 - x = 12018 => x = 10 m/s => 10 x 18/5 = 36 km/hr

Answer : 1. "49 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 49 kmph Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec. [(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be 'x' km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 4) km/hr. x - 4 = 45 => x = 49 km/hr.
