Answer : 3. "35 days"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 35 days Explanation: Distance d = 1200kmlet S be the speed he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs. S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph given 1 1/2 of previous speedso 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7 New speed = 12/7kmph Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day. time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs=> 490/14 = 35 days So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.

Answer : 2. "72/5 days"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 72/5 days Explanation: Work done by Shyam and Rahim in 8 days = 8/32 = 1/4 Remaining work to be done by Shyam and Ram = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 Given efficieny of Ram is half of Rahim i.e, as Rahim can do the work in 48 days, Ram can do the work in 24 days. One day work of Ram and Shyam = (1/32 - 1/48) + 1/24 = 5/96 Hence, the total work can be done by Shyam and Ram together in 96/5 days.   Therefore, remaining work 3/4 can be done by them in 3/4 x 96/5 = 72/5 = 14.4 days.

Answer : 2. "60"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 60 Explanation: We know that, ● Each digit has a fixed position called its place. ● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit. ● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself ● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).   Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.
