Q:

Two trains start from same place at same time at right angles to each other. Their speeds are 36km/hr and 48km/hr respectively. After 30 seconds the distance between them will be ?

A) 900 mts B) 300 mts
C) 250 mts D) 500 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 500 mts

Explanation:

Using pythagarous theorem,
distance travelled by first train = 36x5/18x30 = 300m
distance travelled by second train = 48x5/18x30 = 400m
so distance between them =√( 90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500mts.

A) K & L will always be together B) K is not there, then L will not be there
C) k is there, then L will also be there D) K & L will always be not together
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) k is there, then L will also be there

Explanation:

This would not mean that K and L will always be together. It just implies that, if K is there, then L will also be there.

At the same time, it can happen that L is there but K isn't.

Remember, the condition is on K, not on L.

Q:

If 6 (P's Capital ) = 8 ( Q's Capital ) = 12 ( R's Capital ) , then out of the total profit of Rs 4650 , R will receive ?

A) Rs. 1033.33 B) Rs. 1024
C) Rs. 1148.14 D) Rs. 1245.32
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1033.33

Explanation:

Let
P's capital = p,
Q's capital = q and
R's capital = r.
Then

6p = 8q = 12r
=> 3p = 4q = 6r
=>q = 3p/4
r = 3p/6 = p/2
P : Q : R = p : 3p/4 : p/2
= 4 : 3 : 2
R's share = 4650 * (2/9) = 150*6 = Rs. 1033.33.
