Answer : 1. "99"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 99 Explanation: Let, Distance between A and B = d   Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11   Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11   Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9   Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9   Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11   The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9   But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2  SPSR = SPSQxSQSR = d+11d+9d-11d-9   => d+11d+9d-11d-9 = 3/2   =>  d = 1, 99   => d = 99 satisfies.   Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99

Answer : 2. "3.5 years"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 3.5 years Explanation: Given that Rs. 1860 will become Rs. 2641.20 at 12% => Simple Interest = 2641.20 - 1860 = Rs. 781.20 We know I = PTR/100 => 781.20 x 100 = 1860 x T x 12 => T = 78120/1860x12 => T = 78120/22320 => T = 3.5 years.

Answer : 3. "13 days"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 13 days Explanation: Now, Total work = LCM(16, 8) = 48 A's one day work = + 48/16 = + 3 B's one day work = - 48/8 = -6 Given A worked for 5 days to build the wall => 5 days work = 5 x 3 = + 15 2days B joined with A in working = 2(3 - 6) = - 6 Remaining Work of building wall = 48 - (15 - 6) = 39 Now this remaining work will be done by A in = 39/3 = 13 days.
