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 : 3. "12th element"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 12th element Explanation: If we consider the third term to be ‘x”The 15th term will be (x + 12d)6th term will be (x + 3d)11th term will be (x + 8d) and 13th term will be (x + 10d).Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.x + 9d will be the 12th term. Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.

Answer : 1. "55 kms"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 55 kms Explanation: Let x and y be the respective km's travelled by man via taxi and by his own car.Given x + y = 90 => x = 90 - yBut according to the question,7x + 6y = 5957(90-y) + 6y = 595=> 630 - 7y + 6y = 595=> y = 630 - 595 = 35=> x = 90 - 35 = 55Therefore, the distance travelled by taxi is 55 kms.
