Answer : 3. "36 sec"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 36 sec Explanation: Given speed of jogger = 9 kmph Speed of train = 45 kmphAs they are in same direction, Relative speed = 45 - 9 = 36 kmph = 36x5/18 = 10 m/sDistance = 240 + 120 = 360 mts Time = distance/speed = 360/10 = 36 sec.

Answer : 1. "9216"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 9216 Explanation: It takes four of those little squares -- each one 1/2 inch on a side -- to cover one square inch. That's because each one is 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/4 of a square inch. In a rectangle that is 48 inches by 48 inches, there are 2304 square inches.(1 ft = 12 inches) Since it takes 4 little squares to cover 1 sq inch, then it would need 2304 x 4 squares (1/2 inch on a side each) to cover a rectangle 4 feet by 4 feet. That is 9,216 of those squares.

Answer : 3. "40"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 40 Explanation: Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)On dividing (i) by (ii), we get: x = 40 km.

Answer : 4. "3/4"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 3/4 Explanation: Let S be the sample space.Here n(S)= 23 = 8Let E be the event of getting atmost two heads. Then,n(E) = {(H,T,T), (T,H,T), (T,T,H), (H,H,T), (T,H,H), (H,T,H)}Required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 6/8 = 3/4.

Answer : 1. "90%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 90% Explanation: Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively. Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit. Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. % Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.
