    Pipe A fills a tank at the rate of 100lit/min, Pipe B fills at the rate of 25 lit/min, pipe C drains at the rate of 50 lit/min. The three pipes are kept open for one minute each, one after the other. If the capacity of the tank is 7000 liters, how long will it take to fill the tank if
    i.   A is kept open first, followed by B and then C.

Hey! Can anyone answer this one..?

two cars, C1 and C2 move towards each other from X and Y respectively with respective speeds of 20m/s and 15m/s. After meeting each other Car1 reaches Y in 10seconds. In how many seconds does car2 reach X starting from Y?

Answer-31.11sec.

 M only stuck at why if we take the meeting point as O, XO = 20 x 200/15? I mean..200/15 is the time taken by Car2 to go from Y to X right? and 20 is the distanc covered by Car1 in 1sec..


Mr. Khan, a resident of city X, started by train for city Y, which is at a distance of 375 km from X, to meet his friend Thomas. As he got into the train he looked at his watch and noted that it showed 4:00 pm. When he reached station Y, Thomas met him and looking at his watch said “As it is 8:00 p.m. let’s have our dinner”. The next morning Khan started back for city X and Thomas came along with him to send him off. When the train arrived, Thomas looked at his watch and said, “It is 8:00 a.m. and the train has arrived on time.” When Khan reached X, his watch showed 2:00 p.m. The average speed of the train from Y to X is 100 km/hr less than the average speed of the train from X to Y. The watches of Mr. Khan and Thomas are both running at the correct speed, i.e., they neither lose time nor gain time. What is the time shown by Khan’s watch, when the time shown by Thomas’ watch is 6:30 p.m.?

a)5:30 p.m.

b)5:00 p.m.

c)5:40 p.m.
