There are 6561 balls out of them 1 is heavy. Find the minimum number of times the balls have to be weighed for finding out the heavy ball.
 | Ravi Singh answered |
Divide the balls into 3 groups - each of size 6561/3 = 2187.
Comparing weight of two groups. Now take the heaviest - and sub-divide into 3 more groups 2187/3 = 729
Take the heaviest - divide into 3 - 729/3 = 243.
Similarly continue weighing the group of balls.
Take the heaviest - divide into 3 - 243/3 = 81.
Take the heaviest - divide into 3 - 81/3 = 27.
Take the heaviest - divide into 3 - 27/3 = 9
Take the heaviest - divide into 3 - 9/3 = 3.
Take the heaviest - divide into 3 - 3/3 = 1.
So, minimum number of weights = 8

a)
10 liters
b)
20 liters
c)
40 liters
d)
20 3/4 liters
| | Ravi Singh answered |
In one complete operation, water transferred = 1 - (1/2) = 1/2 liters as 1 liter goes from Y to X. So 1 liter is contained in X. But 1/2 liter goes from X to Y as well. So net 1/2 liters remain in X. If it takes 40 operations to equate water level,
40 - (1/2) = 20 liters is contained in X and Y.
Hence total volume of water in the system is 40 litres. Hence, 3rd option.
If I decrease my speed by 20% of original speed, I reach office 7 minute late. What is my usual time and new time of reaching office?- a)35 minutes

a)
35 minutes

| | Ravi Singh answered |
Since speed is decreased by 20% i.e. 1/5 of the original. New speed will become 4/5 of the original speed.
For the same distance, the time will become 5/4 of original time.
Therefore new time increase by 4 1 of the original.
This is given equal to 7 minutes.
So Usual time = 7 - 4 = 28 minutes and New time = 28 + 7 = 35 minutes.

 | Cstoppers Instructors answered |
Men - 20% of total 35% is 7% of all employees
Women - 40% of total 65% is 26% of all employees
So total (26+7) = 33% employees went to picnic.

 | Kavya Saxena answered |
Let x be the original average and n be the number of students. Let x1, x2, x3 ,. . . .. xn be the weights of n students respectively. Therefore,
Solving (1) and (2), we get
x + n = 49..... (4)
Solving (1) and (3), we get
4x + 3n = 194 ...... (5)
Now, Solving (4) and (5), we get
n = 2, x = 47
So, the original average weight (in kg) of the class = 47
Alternate Solution :
Let x be the original average and n be the number of students.
From the first increase in the average,
we get 50 - x = n + 1
From the second increase in the average,
we get 100 - 2x = 1.5 (n + 2)
Solving, we get the value of x = 47.

 | Aarav Sharma answered |
Given information:
- Ratio of male participants to female participants at the start of seminar = 3:1
- 16 participants left during tea break
- 6 more female participants registered during tea break
- Ratio of male participants to female participants after tea break = 2:1
To find:
- Total number of participants at the start of the seminar
Solution:
Let's assume that the ratio of male participants to female participants at the start of the seminar is 3x:1x, where x is a constant.
- So, the total number of participants at the start of the seminar = 3x + 1x = 4x
After tea break:
- The number of male participants remains the same, i.e., 3x
- The number of female participants becomes 1x+6 (as 6 more female participants registered)
So, the ratio of male participants to female participants after tea break is 3x:(1x+6) = 2:1
- Cross-multiplying, we get 3x+18 = 2x
- Solving for x, we get x = -18
Here, we get a negative value for x, which is not possible. Hence, the given information is insufficient to find the total number of participants at the start of the seminar.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D - Data Insufficient.

- Total number of participants at the start of the seminar
Solution:
Let's assume that the ratio of male participants to female participants at the start of the seminar is 3x:1x, where x is a constant.

After tea break:
- The number of male participants remains the same, i.e., 3x
- The number of female participants becomes 1x+6 (as 6 more female participants registered)
So, the ratio of male participants to female participants after tea break is 3x:(1x+6) = 2:1
- Cross-multiplying, we get 3x+18 = 2x
- Solving for x, we get x = -18
Here, we get a negative value for x, which is not possible. Hence, the given information is insufficient to find the total number of participants at the start of the seminar.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D - Data Insufficient.

 | Pallabi Deshpande answered |
Let rate upstream = x km/hr
and rate downstream = y km/hr.
Then,40/x +55/y = 13...(i)
and 30/x +44/y = 10
Multiplying (ii) by 4 and (i) by 3 and subtracting ,we get:11/y = 1 or y = 11.
Substituting y = 11 in (i),
we get: x = 5.
Rate in still water =1/2(11+5) kmph = 8 kmph.
Rate of current=1/2(11-5)kmph = 3 kmph

| | Rajeev Kumar answered |
Given: 8 women = 6 Men = 12 Boys
=> 12 Men + 12 Women + 12 Boys
= 12 Men + 9 Men + 6 Men = 27 Men
We have, M1 = 9, D1= 6, t1 = 6, W1 = 1
M2 = 27, D2 = ?, t2 = 8, W2 = 1
M1D1T1W2 = M2D2T2W1
9 - 6 - 6 - 1 = 27- D2 - 8 - 1
=> D2 = 3/2 days or, 1 1/2

 | Nikita Singh answered |
Let V be the variable part of the bill and F be the fixed part. Given 540V + F = 1800 & 620 V + F = 2040. Solving these we get V = 3 and F = 180. So when 500 units are consumed, 500 V + F = 500 - 3 + 180 = Rs. 1680.

 | Sameer Rane answered |
The situation of positions can be depicted as follows:
... N (15L) . . . V (23 R) ...
Now, when they interchange their positions, then
... V (?) . . . N (18 L) ...
So, difference between their positions is 3 (18 - 15). That is, there are 3 people between both of them.
Thus, Vimla's position from right = 23 + 3 = 26th

| | Aarav Sharma answered |
Introduction:
This is a probability problem that requires us to determine the minimum number of socks a man needs to pick from a drawer containing 20 black socks and 20 brown socks in order to be sure that he has a matching pair. Since he is picking socks in the dark, he cannot differentiate between the colors of the socks.
Understanding the problem:
To solve this problem, we need to consider the worst-case scenario, where the man picks socks in a way that maximizes the number of different colors he selects before getting a matching pair. We want to find the minimum number of socks he needs to pick to guarantee a matching pair.
Analysis:
Let's consider the worst-case scenario where the man picks socks in a way that maximizes the number of different colors he selects before getting a matching pair.
Step 1:
In the worst-case scenario, the man can pick any colored sock at his first attempt.
Step 2:
In the second attempt, he needs to pick a sock of a different color than the one he picked in the first attempt. This ensures that he has two different colored socks.
Step 3:
In the third attempt, he needs to pick a sock of a color that matches one of the two socks he already picked. This guarantees that he has a matching pair.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the man needs to pick a minimum of two socks to be sure that he has a matching pair. In the worst-case scenario, he will end up with two different colored socks in the first two attempts and a matching pair in the third attempt.

If CRY is coded as MRYC then how will GET be coded?Correct answer is 'METG'. Can you explain this answer?
If CRY is coded as MRYC then how will GET be coded?
 | Sahil Khanna answered |
Understanding the Coding Pattern
To decode how "CRY" is transformed into "MRYC," we need to analyze the pattern of the transformation.
Step-by-Step Analysis
- The first letter 'C' in "CRY" is moved to the end of the code.
- The second letter 'R' remains unchanged.
- The third letter 'Y' becomes 'M' which is four letters back in the alphabet (Y → X → W → V → U → T → S → R → Q → P → O → N → M).
This transformation follows a pattern of shifting letters and reordering them.
Applying the Same Pattern to "GET"
Now let's apply the same transformation to "GET":
1. Reorder the Letters:
- Move the first letter 'G' to the end.
2. Shift the Last Letter:
- The last letter 'T' needs to be replaced with a letter that is four letters back in the alphabet:
- T → S → R → Q → P → O → N → M
3. Resulting Code:
- After moving 'G' to the end and shifting 'T' to 'M', we get:
- 'E' remains unchanged.
- The final arrangement gives us the coded word "METG."
Conclusion
Thus, the transformation of "GET" into the code is "METG," following the same pattern established by the initial example.

- T → S → R → Q → P → O → N → M
3. Resulting Code:
- After moving 'G' to the end and shifting 'T' to 'M', we get:
- 'E' remains unchanged.
- The final arrangement gives us the coded word "METG."
Conclusion
Thus, the transformation of "GET" into the code is "METG," following the same pattern established by the initial example.

If BURNER is coded as CASOIS then how will ALIMENT be coded?
| | Aarav Sharma answered |
Code Breakdown:
In order to find the coded word for "ALIMENT", we need to understand the pattern used to code the word "BURNER" into "CASOIS". Let's break down the given code:
Original word: BURNER
Coded word: CASOIS
- The coded word has the same number of letters as the original word.
- Each letter in the coded word is obtained by shifting the corresponding letter in the original word by a certain number of positions in the English alphabet.
Pattern:
To determine the pattern, we can compare the positions of the corresponding letters in the original and coded words:
Original word: B U R N E R
Coded word: C A S O I S
- The first letter "B" in the original word has shifted one position forward to become "C" in the coded word.
- The second letter "U" in the original word has shifted one position forward to become "A" in the coded word.
- The third letter "R" in the original word has shifted one position forward to become "S" in the coded word.
- The fourth letter "N" in the original word has shifted one position forward to become "O" in the coded word.
- The fifth letter "E" in the original word has shifted one position forward to become "I" in the coded word.
- The sixth letter "R" in the original word has shifted one position forward to become "S" in the coded word.
Applying the Pattern:
Now that we have identified the pattern, we can apply it to the word "ALIMENT".
Original word: A L I M E N T
Coded word: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
- The first letter "A" in the original word will shift one position forward to become "B" in the coded word.
- The second letter "L" in the original word will shift one position forward to become "M" in the coded word.
- The third letter "I" in the original word will shift one position forward to become "J" in the coded word.
- The fourth letter "M" in the original word will shift one position forward to become "N" in the coded word.
- The fifth letter "E" in the original word will shift one position forward to become "F" in the coded word.
- The sixth letter "N" in the original word will shift one position forward to become "O" in the coded word.
- The seventh letter "T" in the original word will shift one position forward to become "U" in the coded word.
Therefore, the coded word for "ALIMENT" is "B M J N F O U" which can be rearranged to form the word "EMONIOU".

84% of a particular total is 630 marks. What is 90% equal to?
| | Aarav Sharma answered |
Explanation:
To find out what 90% is equal to, we can use the concept of proportion. If 84% is equal to 630 marks, then we can set up a proportion using the following equation:
84/100 = 630/x
Here, x represents the total number of marks for 90%. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
84x = 63000
x = 750
So, the total number of marks for 90% is 750. However, the question asks for what 90% is equal to, not the total number of marks. To find out what 90% is equal to, we can use another proportion:
84/100 = 630/x
90/100 = y/750
Here, y represents what 90% is equal to. To solve for y, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
84x = 63000
x = 750
90y = 67500
y = 750
So, 90% is equal to 675 marks.

Since at 5 : 25 the minute hand will be at 5 and the angle between them will be same as the distance covered in degree by the hour hand in 25 minutes
Required angle = distance of hour hand = speed × time = 1/2*25 =12.5 degrees
