- 1/A=10 and 1/B+1/C=14 (Given)
1/A+1/B+1/C=1/14+1/10=7/20
In 20 hours, working together they will complete 7 products.
Thus in 40 hours they will complete 14 products

- time taken without stoppage = > t=d/s
so,t= 300 /60
so time taken without stoppage is 5h.
time taken with stoppage=> 300/40 =7.5h
so difference of time due to stoppage = 7.5-5 =2.5 hrs - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- Let r = running time of the train
s= stoppage time of the train
D= total distance travelled by train
We have:
Dr=60 and D(r+s)=40
⇒ (r+s)r=32
⇒ sr=½
As, D=300 kms
300r=60
⇒ r=5 hrs and s= 2.5 hr - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- If only one of the boxes has a green ball, it can be any of the 6 boxes. So, this can be achieved in 6 ways.
If two of the boxes have green balls and then there are 5 arrangement possible. i.e., the two boxes can one of 1-2 or 2-3 or 3-4 or 4-5 or 5-6.
If 3 of the boxes have green balls, there will be 4 options in which the 3 boxes are in consecutive positions. i.e., 1−2−3 or 2−3−4 or 3−4−5 or 4−5−6
If 4 boxes have green balls, there will be 3 options. i.e., 1−2−3−4 or 2−3−4−5 or 3−4−5−6
If 5 boxes have green balls, then there will be 2 options. i.e., 1−2−3−4−5 or 2−3−4−5−6
If all 6 boxes have green balls, then there will be just 1 options.
Total number of options =6+5+4+3+2+1= 21
ANS 2-Option(C) is correct
Let us assume that Arun started running at 10 AM and Barun started at 12 noon.
So, in these two hours distance travelled by Arun is 60 km and the relative speed of Barun w.r.t Arun is 10 km/hr.
So Barun will overtake Arun after =6010=6 hrs
So, Barun reaches there at 6 PM.
So, Kiranmala also overtakes Arun at 6 PM.
Let us assume Kiranmala takes t time to overtake Arun and the relative speed of Kiranmala w.r.t Arun is 30 km/hr and Arun ran for 8 hrs.
So, distance travelled by Arun is:
=time×speed
=8×30 -------- (1)
While Kiranmala's distance travelled is:
=t×60 -------- (2)
Since distance traveled by them is equal,
⇒(1)=(2)
⇒8×30=t×60
t=4 hours
So, after 4 hrs, Kiranmala will start running

- 2q ans:-ua=30km/hr, ub=40km/hr, uc=60km/hr so,
60+30*t=40*t so value of t=6 than total dist=240 where barun overtake arun so the total time taken by karanmala to overtake arun is 240/60=4hr the correct ans is c in 2q - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 1)after two hours arun complete 60 and barun 0
continuously after 8 hours arun and barun will meet
at same time kiranmala must baet in 8 hours but she can 60km in 4 hrs =240
remaining time waiting before start that is 4hrs

- qus1) If only one of the boxes has a green ball, it can be any of the 6 boxes. So, we have 6 possibilities.
If two of the boxes have green balls and then there are 5 consecutive sets of 2 boxes. 12, 23, 34, 45, 56.
If 3 of the boxes have green balls, there are 4 possibilities: 123, 234, 345, 456.
If 4 boxes have green balls, there are 3 possibilities: 1234, 2345, 3456.
If 5 boxes have green balls, there are 2 possibilities: 12345, 23456.
If all 6 boxes have green balls, there is just 1 possibility.
Total number of possibilities = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21.

- 2) Let us assume that Arun started running at 10 AM and Barun started at 12 noon.
So, in these two hours distance travelled by Arun is 60 km and the relative speed of Barun w.r.t Arun is 10 km/hr.
So Barun will overtake Arun after =
60
10
=6 hrs
So, Barun reaches there at 6 PM.
So, Kiranmala also overtakes Arun at 6 PM.
Let us assume Kiranmala takes 't' time to overtake Arun and the relative speed of Kiranmala w.r.t Arun is 30 km/hr and Arun ran for 8 hrs.
So, distance travelled by Arun is:
While Kiranmala's distance travelled is:
t=4 hours
So, after 4 hrs, Kiranmala will start running
