Answer : 4. "12 p.m."
Explanation :

Answer: D) 12 p.m. Explanation: Assume both trains meet after 'p' hours after 7 a.m.Distance covered by train starting from A in 'p' hours = 20p kmDistance covered by train starting from B in (p-1) hours = 25(p-1)Total distance = 200=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 200=> 45x = 225=> p= 5Means, they meet after 5 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 12 p.m.

Answer : 3. "60 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 60 kmph Explanation: Speed on return trip = 150% of 50 = 75 km/hr. Average speed = (2 x 50 x 75)/(50 + 75) = 60 km/hr.

Answer : 2. "19/42"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 19/42 Explanation: A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways  (i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it.   (ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it.   Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows: E1 = selecting bag I, E2 = selecting bag II A = drawing a red ball Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore  P(E1) = 1/2  and  P(E2) = 1/2 Now, PAE1 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7   PAE2  = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6  Using the law of total probability, we have   P(red ball) = P(A) = PE1×PAE1+PE2×PAE2                              = 12×47+12×26=1942

Q: If the C.I. on a sum for 2 years at 12 1/2 % per annum is Rs. 510, the S.I. on the same sum at the same rate for the same period of time is   ? 2224 0

Answer : 2. "Rs. 480"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Rs. 480 Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. P. Then,   P1+252x1002-P= 510   P[982- 1] = 510.   Sum = Rs. 1920   So, S.I. = (1920 x 25 x 2) / (2 x 100) = Rs. 480

Answer : 1. "29"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 29 Explanation: Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4 According to the question, Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last two odd numbers is 396 i.e, x+3 and x-3 ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396⇒ 12x = 396⇒ x = 33   Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

Answer : 4. "6"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 6 Explanation: Sum of decimal places = 7. Since the last digit to the extreme right will be zero (since 4 x 5 = 20), so there will be 6 significant digits to the right of the decimal point.
