P and Q are two stations .train A started from P towards Q at 6.00 Am at 90kmph.At the same time,train B started from R,an intermediate station 60 km from P,and travelled towards Q at 60kmph.Train C started from Q towards P are 7.00 Am at 120 kmph.All the trains crossed each other simultaneously.Find PQ.?
PQ = 300
after 1hr a will be 30km behind B and will take 1hr to meet B.
total distance covered by A = 120. In the mean time C will cover 120km to meet B.
Total distance = 300

6x = 18y(studying students)
x = 3y = 50, y = 50/3


pls give the detailed solution and elaborate it step wis epls

Re: official quant thread for CAT 2009 - 02-07-2009, 02:17 AM

When statement 1 holds, the length of the wire cant be more than 20 cm. Hence, we have an isoceles triangle of side 5cm, 5cm and 8cm (perimeter=18cm). Hence, the circumradius would be 2.5*2/sqrt(3).

Clearly ,since in the above case, the circumradius is not greater than 4cm , for statement 2 to hold, the sides of the triangle must be 8cm,8cm and 5 cm, in which case, the circumradius would be 4*2/sqrt(3).

all u hav to do is to check the last digit....

say for 1!^ 1 = 1
2!^2 = 4
3!^3 = 9
4!^4 = 16
5!^5 = 25


Similarly for every term u wud be getting the terms square....

add them using formaula

Sum = n(n+1)(2n+1) / 6

u will get last digit as 1/.....simple

How can savings be 4:1

Savings of H = 6000 - 3600 = 2400
Savings of B = 4000 - 3600 = 400

so Hs:Bs = 2400:400 = 6:1

P........................R........................ .Q
<--------------------x--->

let train A and B meet at 'x', since the started st the same time so they will take same time to reach 'x'

x/90 = (x-60)/60

=> x=180
time taken by A and B to reach x=180km
t=180/90 =2hrs (that means its 8:00 am now)

by this time the train C would have covered distance= 120km
since all three trains meet at the same time
PQ-x=120

therefore, PQ=180+120
=300kms

hope this helps....

I think you are making a silly mistake here.......
1!^1=1
2!^2=4
3!^3=6^3=Last digit 6......
4!^4=24^4=Last digit 6.....
5!^5=120^5=Last digit 0......
After 5!,there will be alwayz b a 0 in units digit.....

So Units digit is 1+4+6+6=7....
