Answer : 2. "9 kms"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 9 kms Explanation: The first train covers 180 kms in 5 hrs => Speed = 180/5 = 36 kmph Now the second train covers the same distance in 1 hour less than the first train => 4 hrs => Speed of the second train = 180/4 = 45 kmph Now, required difference in distance in 1 hour = 45 - 36 = 9 kms.

Answer : 3. "3/4"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 3/4 Explanation: Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and A , B, C be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event ∴A, B, C are independent events Now,  P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4  PA=12, PB=23, PC= 34 ∴ P( none  solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C)                     = PA∩B∩C                    = PAPBPC         ∵ A, B, C are Independent                                          =  12×23×34                     = 14   Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem)                  = 1-14= 3/4

Explanation :

Answer: C) 91.5 Explanation: We have M1 D1 H1 / W1 = M2 D2 H2 / W2 (Variation rule)(60 x 30 x 8)/ 150 = (35 x D2 x 6) / 200 D2 = (60 x 30 x 8 x 200) / (150 x 35 x 6) => D2 = 91.42 days =~ 91.5 days.
