Average number of students in B $=\frac{550 + 820 + 600 + 750 + 500 + 480}{6}=\frac{3700}{6}$

Question : Tapas works twice as fast as Mihir. If both of them together complete a work in 12 days, Tapas alone can complete it in:

Option 1: 15 days

Option 2: 18 days

Option 3: 20 days

Option 4: 24 days

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 18 days


Solution : Let $x$ be the number of days Tapas takes to complete the whole work.
So, Mihir takes = 2$x$ days
According to the question,
$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{12}$
$⇒\frac{2+1}{2x}=\frac{1}{12}$
$\therefore x$ = $\frac{3×12}{2}$ = 18 days
Hence, the correct answer is 18 days.

Side of Rhombus = $\sqrt{(\frac{16}{2})^{2}+ (\frac{30}{2})^{2}}$
Side = $\sqrt{82+152}

Question : A motorcyclist left $6\frac{6}{9}$ minutes later than the scheduled time but to reach its destination 21 km away on time, he had to increase his speed by 12 km/hr from the usual speed. What is the usual speed (in km/h) of the motorcyclist?

Option 1: 28

Option 2: 35

Option 3: 42

Option 4: 64

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 42


Solution : Distance = 21 km
Let the usual speed of a motorcyclist be $x$ km/hr.
Time taken, t1 = $\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$ = $\frac{21}{x}$
When left late by $6\frac{6}{9}$ min = $\frac{1}{9}$hr,
Time, t2 = travel time + waiting time
= $\frac{21}{(x+12)}+\frac{1}{9}$
