A man crosses stationary train in 5 minutes. The same train crosses a pole in 48 seconds, What is the ratio between speed of man and speed of train..?

Evergreen question on speed distance and time :


A train an hour after starting , meets with an accident which detains it for a half hour, after which it proceeds at 3/4 of its former rate and arrives 7/2 hours late. Had the accident happened 90 kilometers farther along the line, it would have arrived only 3 hours late.

The length of the trip in kilometers was ??mg


Remainder theorem 😁


If the remainder obtained when P(x) is divided by (x^2-5x+6) is (x+3) and the remainder obtained when P(x) is divided by (x^2 -5x+7) is (x+4).

What is the remainder obtained when P(x) is divided by (x^2-5x+6)(x^2-5x+7)?

👍👍

how to solve this??

1) a man sells a book @ profit of 20% if he had bought it @ 20%less and sold it for 18 rupees less he would have gained 25% find the cost price of the book.
