Q.1 [11831809]
Three cars - A, B and C travel at the speed of 90, 60 and 50 km/h respectively. These cars start from the same
point and in the same direction. Car A and Car C started at 9 AM and 6 AM respectively. If all the three cars
meet at the same place at the same time, then at what time did Car B start?

1 6 : 08: 30 AM

2 7 : 14 : 15 AM

3 8 : 07 : 15 AM

4 7 : 07 : 30 AM
Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 4
Time taken by Car A to meet Car C = 50 × (9 – 6)/(90 – 50) = 3.75 hours
So Car A and Car C meet at 12:45 PM
Distance travelled by Car A = 90 × 3.75 = 337.5 km
Time taken by Car B to travel this distance = 337.5/60 = 5.625 hours
Hence, Car B started at 7:07:30 AM.

Correct Answer : 3
The number takes a form 5, b, c, b, 5 in which 2b + c = 5k.
Case 1: 2b + c = 0, then b = c = 0
Case 2: 2b + c = 5, then (b, c) = (0, 5), (1, 3) and (2, 1)
Case 3: 2b + c = 10, then (b, c) = (1, 8), (2, 6), … , (5, 0)
Case 4: 2b + c = 15, then (b, c) = (3, 9) (4, 7), … , (7, 1)
Case 5: 2b + c = 20, then (b, c) = (6, 8), … , (9, 2)
Case 6: 2b + c = 25, then (b, c) = (8, 9) and (9, 7)
Hence, total 20 such numbers are possible.

Q.11 [11831809]
A pool has a capacity of 8.712 lakh liters. Two pipes of diameters 6 cm and 4 cm are used to fill the pool. The
rate at which water flows through the first and the second pipe is 14 liters per second and 8 liters per second
respectively. An emptying pipe of diameter 2 cm is also connected to the pool and water flows through this at a
rate of 4 liters per second. If all the three pipes are opened simultaneously, then find the time taken to fill the
empty pool (in minutes).
