Answer : 1. "70 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 70 kms Explanation: Let the time taken by train be 't' hrs. Then, 40t = 35t + 1560 40t = 35t + 35/4 t = 7/4 hrs Therefore, Required length of the total journey d = s x t = 40 x 7/4 = 70 kms.

Answer : 3. "1/4"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 1/4 Explanation: Non collision can happen only when all the cars move in same direction. That is either all cars moving in clockwise direction or all cars moving in anti clockwise direction.P(all cars not colliding) = P(all cars moving in the same direction) = P(all cars moving in clockwise direction) + P(all cars moving in anticlockwise direction) = [p(A --> C) x p(C --> B) x p(B --> A)] + [p(A --> B) x p(B --> C) x p(C --> A)] = [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2] + [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2] = 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4

Answer : 2. "40 sec"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 40 sec Explanation: Speed of train relative to jogger = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr.= 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec. Distance to be covered = 260 + 140 = 400 m. Time taken = 400/10 = 40 sec.

Answer :
Explanation :
In most cases, you will have no idea who you are competing with for a particular job. So this type of question really gives you a chance to open-up your strengths as a candidate with an emphasis on any assets that might separate you from the typical applicant. Think about what you bring to the table that you truly believe is unique - the easiest way to do is to think of your own personal stories that demonstrate your work ethic, skills, and dedication. Most people have some or all of those skills, but the unique stories are what make people stand out in interviews.

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
