After the completion of puzzle test they will take away question paper of puzzles but answer sheet of puzzles will be with u only so if time is left in English section u can attempt puzzles.
The questions in my test are as follows:
1) In woods there were certain birds on each tree .Number of birds on each tree are equal to total number of trees in the woods. There are 2000-2100 birds altogether in the woods. How many trees are there in the woods? ( 3 marks )
Ans) let number of birds on each tree = X = number of trees in the woods.
Then total number of birds in woods = X^ 2. = in between 2000-2100.
This number should be a perfect square there is only one number in that range which is
2025.=45^2.
So total number of trees = 45. ( 100% sure )
2)In the construction of a house these were required Designer and Painter equals Rs. 1100-----à1
Painter and Plumber equals Rs. 1700----à2
Plumber and Electrician equals Rs. 1100----à3
Electrician and Constructor equals Rs. 3300-----à4
ð By solving 7 and 2 we get pa = 900 and pl = 800.
3) A passenger train requires twice the time to overtake the freight train as it takes to cross the freight train when it is coming in opposite direction. How much faster is the passenger train in comparison with freight train? ( 3 marks) . ans) thrice.
Ans) let time taken by passenger train to cross freight (opposite direction) = t sec.=d/(sp+sf)
Then Time taken by passenger to overtake freight (same direction) = 2t sec. =d/ (sp-sf)
where total distance = d meters.
Speed of passenger = sp
Speed of freight train = sf.
So d / ( sp-sf) = 2d/(sp+sf)
ð sp = 3sf.
ð So passenger train is 3 times faster than freight train.
4) There are 5 towns - nalanda, thrilothika, rampur, solanpur and maninagar. So say N, T, S, R, M. Out of these, 4 are capitals, 3 industrial towns, two hill stations, two towns are on same longitude. Population of two cities is less than five lakhs and that of one city is 20 lakhs, also of other two cities is more than 50 lakhs. Thirlothika is an industrial town.
