hey guys,

i have started this thread in the hope of helping you to develop your strengths and work on your weaknesses and at the same time have fun.....

well with this same motto my college began these spl. classes to improve our aptitude strength leaving aside the fact we were still in our 2nd year.😔

but it was not as it was expected.....it was all fun....😁

i decided to share some of those questions we encountered with you in this thread.:smile: :smile: :smile:

hope it helps you...

cooltwins5)the front wheels of a wagon are 2(pi) feet in circumference and the rear wheels are 3(pi) feet in circumference. When the front wheels have made 10 more revolutions than the rear wheels how many feet has the wagon travelled?
(a)30(pi) (b)60(pi) (c)90(pi) (d)150(pi)

(pi)-3.14
Let x be the distance moved...
so the first wheel moves x/2(pi) revolutions.
2nd one moves x/3(pi) revolutions.

if the diff. in revolutions is 10
then 10=x/2(pi)-x/3(pi) =x/6(pi) => x=60(pi).

so the answer is (b) 60(pi)
hope it is correct😀

4)if x men, working x hours per day, can do x units of work in x days then y men, working y hours per day would be able to complete how many units of work in y days?
(a) X^2/y^3 (b) x^3/y^2 (c) y^2/x^3 (d) y^3/x^2

^- to the power of.
work done by the x-group =x*x*x-------(1)
work done by the y-group =y*y*y-------(2)

(2)/(1)=>
y^3
x^3

but units of work done by x-group is x
let units of work done by y-group be a
=>
y^3=a
x^3 x

=>a=y^3 / x^2

so is the solution
4)y^3 / x^2

5)a car travelling 5/7th of its actual speed covers 42 km in 1hr 40 min 48 sec.find the actual speed of the car......:?:
Let x be the average speed.
its present velocity is v=5x/7.
the distance s=42km.
the time taken is,t=1hr40min48sec=1.68hr

speed is v=s/t

5x/7=42/1.68=25

=>x=7X25/5=35km/hr

so is the answer 35km/hr?
