Answer : 1. "36 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 36 days Explanation: Given the ratio of efficiencies of P, Q & R are 3 : 8 : 5 Let the efficiencies of P, Q & R be 3x, 8x and 5x respectively They can do work for 12 days. => Total work = 12 x 16x = 192x   Now, the required time taken by Q to complete the job alone = 162x8x = 24 days.

Answer : 3. "24/625"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 24/625 Explanation: Total no of ways = (14 – 1)! = 13! Number of favorable ways = (12 – 1)! = 11!   So, required probability = 11!×3!13! = 39916800×66227020800 = 24625

Answer : 2. "1/6"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 1/6 Explanation: Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36 Total work = 144 units Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day   According to the given data, 2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100 3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54 p = 198/16.5 p = 12 days.   Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day (C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Answer : 1. "84 km/hr"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 84 km/hr Explanation: Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hrTherefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5x+9x2= 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.
