Neeraj has agreed to mow a lawn, which is a 20 m 40 m rectangle. He mows it with 1 m wide strip. If Neeraj starts at one corner and mows around the lawn toward the centre, about how many times would he go round before he has mowed half the lawn?
In a class of 12 students , 7 boys and 5 girls.The class has 4 sessions each day,one each of arithmetic ,algebra,geometry and probability.These classes are to be held one after the other in 4 distinct time slots and can be in any sequence .Further there are 2 teachers available and they can teach any topic. In how many distinct ways can a session be scheduled for two consecutive days..??
classes can be held in 4! ways ,teachers can take classes in 2^4 ways so total ways =(4!* 2^4)^2
My take is 4! * 4! * 2^8 (Assuming that class remains same, no divsions in class) On each day, we have 4 sessions and hence there can be 4! ways to schedule them. On second day also, we will have 4! arrangements. And for 8 subjects, we have 2 teachers. Each subject can be be taught by 2 ...

My take is 4! * 4! * 2^8 (Assuming that class remains same, no divsions in class)
On each day, we have 4 sessions and hence there can be 4! ways to schedule them. On second day also, we will have 4! arrangements.
And for 8 subjects, we have 2 teachers. Each subject can be be taught by 2 teachers, so 2 choices for eac one. So, total choices of teachers = 2*2*2.. 8 times = 2^8
ans 64 years hai kya? it become k in 16 years..phir doubled in another 24 years.. so again it will double in another 24 years..so 64 years.. not sure though
A certain sum is invested in simple interest.It becomes k times itself in 16 years and 2k time itself in 40 years.In how many years it will become 4k times itself?

My take is 48. Sum of natural numbers till 49 = 1225 1225/2 = 612.5 So, if we make subsets of a set of first 49 natural numabers; half of them will have sum less than 612.5 and half of them will have sum more than 612.5. This is becuase, for every set A; there will be a counter set A'.
a subset of the set {1, 2, 3, , 49} is called good if the sum of its elements is greater than 612. How many good subsets are there?
My take is 48.
Sum of natural numbers till 49 = 1225 1225/2 = 612.5
So, if we make subsets of a set of first 49 natural numabers; half of them will have sum less than 612.5 and half of them will have sum more than 612.5. This is becuase, for every set A; there will be a counter set A'. One of A and A' will have sum of elements as more than 612.5 and one will have less than 612.5.
So, we just need to find out, (maximim possible number of sets)/2
As we have 49 elements, each element has two choices: Participate in set or do not participate in set.
Neeraj has agreed to mow a lawn, which is a 20 m 40 m rectangle. He mows it with 1 m wide strip. If Neeraj starts at one corner and mows around the lawn toward the centre, about how many times would he go round before he has mowed half the lawn?
iska answer approx 4 times (oh yaar apna confidence level toh kam ho rha hain )

I think this times will not be there. abcd - dcba = 7083 999(a - d) + 90(b - c) = 7083 111(a - d) + 10(b - c) = 787 => (a - d) = 7, so 3 ways and (b - c) = 9, so 9 ways So, 3*9 = 27 such numbers
My take is 103. We need to check for power of 97 and 2; higest and smallest prime number in 100!. Power of 97: 10000 => 103 + 1 => 104 Power of 2: 10000 => 5000 + 2500 + 1250 + 625 + 312 + 156 + 78 + 39 + 19 + 9 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9994 Now, 100! has (50 + 25 + 12 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 97 ti...
k got it upar yeh galti hui hain ki humne 44 aur 11 ko bi base n mei liya ,inhe humein decimal system mein hi lena tha.aur jo result aata ,use base n mein change karna tha jisse 3414 aata.
bhai yeh question sahi hain (4n+4)(n+1)=3n^3+4n^2+n+4,isse n natural number toh ni aa rha!!!
product of 44 and 11 given is 484 in decimal..is ko base 5 main convert karo toh 3414 milega.. so base 5 sahi hai..ab (3111)5 ko decimal main convert karo = 1+5+25+375=406

bhaiyo dekho... 44*11 = 484.... now 484 = 3414 in base n ab inke decimal rep ko equate kar do to get n as 5.....answer is not too far after that... PS: Yaar this question is a bit ambiguous in its language...but it came in CAT as it is...
45(base 5) = 25 (base 10) 11(base 5) = 6 (base 10) 45*11(base 5) = 25*6(base 10) 25*6 = 150 (base 10) Now if we convert 150 from base 10 to base 5 we should get 3414. But we are getting 1100 here, 5 does not satisfy.
product of 44 and 11 given is 484 in decimal..is ko base 5 main convert karo toh 3414 milega.. so base 5 sahi hai..ab (3111)5 ko decimal main convert karo = 1+5+25+375=406 P.S.-koi is type ke questions ki fixed method batado yaar

Okay, the solution goes like this possible combinations 3,3,8 and 2,6,6 both add up to 14 But only 3,3,8 is possible as 8 is the highest in Physics so answer is 6 BUT, I say, the combination can be 1,8,9 and 4,6,3 why aren't these considered? Shouldn't the answer be CBD?
Rohan is asked to figure out the marks scored by Sunil in three different subjects with the help of certain clues. He is told that the product of the marks obtained by Sunil is 72 and the sum of the marks obtained by Sunil is equal to the Rohan's current age (in completed years). Rohan could not answer the question with this information. When he was also told that Sunil got the highest marks in Physics among the three subjects, he immediately answered the question correctly. What is the sum of the marks scored by Sunil in the two subjects other than Physics? (a) 6 (b) 8 (c) 10 (d) Cannot be determined

There are 6 straight lines in a plane, no 2 of which are parallel and no 3 of which pass through the same point. If their points of intersection are joined, then the number of additional lines thus introduced is (a) 45 (b) 78 (c) 105 (d) none of the above
So number of additional lines created through intersection :
= 1/8 * [ n! / (n-4)!]
Where 'n' is the number of straight lines. In this case n=6
my ans is 3.. x+y+z=5 ..squaring both sides.. x^2+y^2+z^2=19.. x^2=19 not possible as x+y+z=5.. put x = 3, y = 3, z=-1..it will satisfy all conditions..
If x, y and z are real numbers such that x + y + z = 5 and xy + yz + zx = 3, what is the largest value that x can have?

Here options would have helped but anyways: All multiples of 3 in 100-200 {that are odd} 105,111,......195 : 16 numbers. Now multiple of 7 and 3 that are odd : 105,147,189. So required answer : 16-3 : 13
Eek concept hai isme i guess: here we have to take N = 10000 Take root of N = 100 Find the number (prime) smaller then this one 97. Now 10000! will be divisible by 97^97. So my Take is 97

Let A take 1 step/sec So A will take 10 steps in 10 sec. B will take 90 steps in 10 sec So speed of B is 9 steps/sec. Speed ration A:B :: 1:9 Time ratio A:B :: 9:1 Let the speed of escalator be n steps/sec. A has taken 50 steps to reach bottom taking 50 sec, B will take 50/9 ...
Could you please help me with a proper solution for this problem?
An escalator is descending at constant speed. A walks down and takes 50 steps to reach the bottom. B runs down and takes 90 steps in the same time as A takes 10 steps. How many steps are visible when the escalator is not operating?
Let A take 1 step/sec
So A will take 10 steps in 10 sec. B will take 90 steps in 10 sec So speed of B is 9 steps/sec.
Speed ration A:B :: 1:9 Time ratio A:B :: 9:1 Let the speed of escalator be n steps/sec.
A has taken 50 steps to reach bottom taking 50 sec, B will take 50/9 So 50 + 50n = 90 + 50/9n 50n - 50n/9 = 40 50*(8/9)n = 40 n = 9/10 steps/sec
so visible steps of escalator : 50 + 50n : 95 steps
For the first time i am not sure in escalator question.

Yaar Harsh bhai, ismein aapne 2^4 ke liye good sets kaise determine kiye ? I mean what sum did you consider and why ? Did you take the sum as 7 ? i.e., 15/2 ?
answers are 1) B and D 2) 0.65 3) 25 my approach - first of all net run rate = (total runs scored/total balls faced) - ( total runs conceded/total overs bowled) given - If a team was all out within the stipulated 50 overs, it was deemed to have batted 50 overs.. thus tota...
Its an LR set @Nachieket bhai , Gaurav bhai..or any puys!! plzz help Post approach too..!!
Consider A tournament having 4 teams A,B,C,D...The Table given below Shows the proceedings of the tournament. The Table shows NRR of the team after that match....
Team_____First Match_____Second Match____Third Match A__________+0.8____________A2_____________+0.6____ B__________B1______________-0.4___________+0.066__ C__________+1______________+0.25__________C3_____ D__________D1______________-0.5____________D3____
A team Plays its second match, once every team has played its first match..Similarly, it plays 3rd match only after every team has played its 2nd match. If A team was allout within the stipulated 50 overs, it was deemed to have batted 50 overs. All matches ended in a victory..except 1..which was a tie...In these victories, all the teams that batted first were the winners in all the matches except one which happened to be the last match played by C.
Q1. Which Teams were Involved In a tie ? 1. A and D 2. A and B 3. B and D 4. CBD
Q2. What is Value of A2 ? 1. +1.3 2. +1.05 3. +0.65 4. +0.525
Q3. By how many runs A won the match against C 1. 50 2. 90 3. 45 4. 25
answers are 1) B and D 2) 0.65 3) 25
my approach -
first of all net run rate = (total runs scored/total balls faced) - ( total runs conceded/total overs bowled)
given - If a team was all out within the stipulated 50 overs, it was deemed to have batted 50 overs.. thus total overs faced = total overs bowled
if a team plays 3 matches, then it's final NRR would be average of NRR of all 3 matches... thus column showing net run rate in the 2nd round is average of the NRRs of 1st two matches..same for 3rd column..
when two teams play a match, net run rate of one team is equal to that of other team but sign would be opposite i.e. winning team will have +ve NRR while losing team will have -ve NRR (same value)
in case of a tie, NRR of both teams would be 0.00
now NRR of C is given for 1st 2 matches.. NRR after 1st and 2nd match are 1 and 0.25 thus NRR in 2nd match = 1+ x/2 = 0.25 x = -0.5..NRR of C -2nd match is -0.5..thus match played by C in 2nd round is not a tie.
now for B and D - NRR after 1st match is any of -0.8 and -1.0 . so no tie in 1st round.
for a tie to take place in 2nd round - NRR after 2 matches would be half of the NRR after 1st round..as (x+0)/2 = x/2..
from data we can see that for B and D, NRR after 2 matches is -.4 and -.5 which is half of their NRR after 1st match..
So tie took place between B and D
2) as a tie took place between B and D, A played against C in that round.. as we found that NRR of C in 2nd match is -0.5.. So NRR of A is 0.5 thus A2 = (0.5 + 0. )/2 = 0.65
3) NRR between A and C in 2nd match is 0.5.. for eg. if RR of A is 6..then RR of C is 5.5.. then net difference in runs = 300 - 275 = 25 runs same would be for other RRs..
