Answer : 2. "40"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 40 Explanation: The third proportional of two numbers p and q is defined to be that number r such that p : q = q : r.   Here, required third proportional of 10 & 20, and let it be 'a' => 10 : 20 = 20 : a 10a = 20 x 20 => a = 40   Hence, third proportional of 10 & 20 is 40.

Answer : 4. "39"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 39 Explanation: Let the two-digit number be 10a + ba + b = 12 --- (1)If a>b, a - b = 6If b>a, b - a = 6If a - b = 6, adding it to equation (1), we get2a = 18 => a =9so b = 12 - a = 3Number would be 93.if b - a = 6, adding it to the equation (1), we get2b = 18 => b = 9a = 12 - b = 3.Number would be 39.There fore, Number would be 39 or 93.

Answer : 3. "6 hrs"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 6 hrs Explanation: Suppose A, B and C take x, x/2 and x/3 respectively to finish the work.  Then, (1/x + 2/x + 3/x) = 1/2  => 6/x = 1/2      => x = 12  So, B takes 6 hours to finish the work.

Q: Two trains are running at 60 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 6 seconds. What is the length of the fast train ? A. 6623 mts B. 6632 mts C.6345 mts D. 6354 mts 1514 0

Answer : 1. "Option A"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Option A Explanation: As Trains are moving in same direction, Relative Speed = 60-20 = 40 kmph --> 40×518=1009 m/sec   Length of Train= Speed * Time   Length = 1009×6 ⇒2003=6623 mts

Answer : 1. "36 & 90"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 36 & 90 Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ?? Second Series : 12,18,26, ?? So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :   Pattern of Series 1 :   6 divide 4 : 1.5 Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2 Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5 So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on So first series will look like 4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90   Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??   Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12) Series will be like 12,18,26,36.   For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90
