Maths question: 

A,B,C had to go 100 kms. A had a motorcycle by which he could go@25 kmph. Walking is done @5kmph. A picks up B, while C walks, after sometime A drops B , B moves on , A comes back picks up C and all of them reach at the same time. a. At what distance B was dropped b. Motorcyclists traveled how many kms? c. Journey is of how many hours? d. A picked up C at what distance?

www.afterschoool.tk

AFTERSCHOOOL MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS

Answer : A

cannot take 4 or more hours with B (4 hours means 100 KM). So let us try with 3 KM. A will travel 75 Km. Now C is at 15 KM. now A returns back.[(75-15)/(25+5)] 60/30 = 2 hours, thus A will take 2 hours to return back to C. now A and C will travel for 50 +25 = 75 KM in 3 hours. B will also reach with them (5 hours * 5 KM) Total time: 8 hours.

. 5 women & 7 men can complete a work in 8 days, 3 women & 10 men complete it in 6 days, then 10 men and 10 women will complete the work in how many days.        

5w+7M=1/8, 2nd equation: 3W+10M =1/6 Multiply first equation by 3 and 2nd by 5, we get: 29M = 5/6 – 3/8 29M = 22/48 or M = 11/ (24*29). Put the value of M in first equation : 5 W = 1/8 – 77/(24*29), W = 10 / (24*29). = 10/ 696 Thus we get 100/696 + 110/696 or 210/696 Or 696 / 110 = 6.32 days.

Number of factors of 72? Out of these how many are odd? How many will be perfect squares? How many will be prime factors. 

  

Let us take factorisation of 72. let us start by dividing by 2. 2*2*2*3*3 Thus we have 3 two and 2 three. Thus (4 * 3) -1 = 11 factors of 72 (we can verify this : (2,3,4,6,8,9,12,24,18, 36,72). Out of these we have 4,9,36 as perfect squares and we have 2 prime numbers = 2,3

A beats B by 30 mts in a 100 mts. Race , B beats C by 40 mts. In a 100 mts. Race, A will defeat C by how much in a 400 mts race.  When

A completes 100 meters, B completes 70 meters. When B completes 100 meters, C completes 60 meters. When B travels 70, B will travel for 60 *70/100 = 42 thus A will defeat C by 58 meters. Thus in 400 meters, A will defeat C by 58 *4 = 232 meters answer.
