Most tested: Applied quantitative reasoning through relative speed/time-work and basic deduction puzzles.
- 2024Two pipes A and B when opened simultaneously can fill an empty tank in 72 minutes. When the tank is initially empty, only pipe A is opened for 15 minutes. Next pipe A is closed and only pipe B is opened for 15 minutes. For filling the remaining part of the tank, if pipe A alone takes 76 minutes and pipe B alone takes K hours L minutes, then what are the factors the number (K+L)?
- 2024Two persons P and Q started a 300 meter race. Initially the speeds of P and Q are in the ratio 1 : 2. After 't' seconds, P quadrupled (four times) his speed and as a result, both of them reached the endpoint at same instant of time. But after 't' seconds, if P tripled his speed and Q reduced his speed by 5 seconds, then the race would have been won by 5 seconds. What is the value of 't'?
