How many iron rods, each of length 7 mts and diameter 2 cms can be made out of 0.88 cubic metre of iron ?

A) 500 B) 600
C) 400 D) 300
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 400

Explanation:

Given length of iron rod =7 mts and  and diameter of rod = 2 cms 

=> r = 1/100 mts

Therefore,  Volume of one rod = πr2h cu. m =  227×11002×7cu. m = 115000 cu. m

Given volume of iron = 0.88 cu. m 

Therefore, Number of rods = 0.88×500011 = 400.

Q:

A train covers a distance in 50 minutes, if it runs at a speed of 48kmph on an average. Find the speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to 40 minutes.

A) 50 km/hr B) 60 km/hr
C) 65 km/hr D) 70 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60 km/hr

Explanation:

We are having time and speed given, so first we will calculate the distance. Then we can get new speed for given time and distance.
Lets solve it.

Time = 50/60 hr = 5/6 hr
Speed = 48 mph
Distance = S*T = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km

New time will be 40 minutes so,
Time = 40/60 hr = 2/3 hr
Now we know,
Speed = Distance/Time
New speed = 40*3/2 kmph = 60kmph

Q:

Jagan went to another town covering 240 km by car moving at 60 kmph. Then he covered 400km by train moving at 100 kmph and then rest 200 km he covered by a bus moving at 50 kmph. The average speed during the whole journey was ?

A) 36 kmph B) 35 kmph
C) 72 kmph D) 70 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 70 kmph

Explanation:

By car 240 km at 60 kmph
Time taken = 240/60 = 4 hr.

By train 240 km at 60 kmph
Time taken = 400/100 = 4 hr.

By bus 240 km at 60 kmph
Time taken = 200/50 = 4 hr.

So total time = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 hr.
and total speed = 240+400+200 = 840 km
Average speed of the whole journey = 840/12 = 70 kmph.
