v₁ = speed in first half

D = total distance traveled = 50 km

d₁ = distance of the first half = 25 km

t₁ = time taken in first half

t₁ = d₁ /v₁

t₁ = 25/v₁                                                 (1)

for the second half :

v₂ = speed in second half = v₁ + 10

d₂ = distance of the second half = 25 km

t₂ = time taken in second half

t₂ = d₂ /v₂

t₂ = 25/(v₁ + 10)                                          (2)

given that :

t₁ - t₂ = 5/60                        (5 min in h = 5/60 h)

(25/v₁ ) - (25/(v₁ + 10)) = 5/60

v₁ = 50 km/h

B completes = 100% – 60% = 40% of the work

Hence, Option A is correct.

Let AB be the taller building of height 60 m and CD be the smaller one of height h m.

⇒ DB / AB = tan 30º = 1/√3

⇒ DB = AB x tan 30º

= 34.64 m.

tan 30º = AE/CE = AE/DB = 1/ = AE/34.64

∴ AE = 60 – h = 20

∴ h = 40 m

18% of x = 13.50% of y

50% of x = 37.50% of y
Hence, Option D is correct.

 a = -3 and a(2) = 4
a = -3
d = 4 - a = 4 - (-3) = 7
a(21)=a + (21-1) x d
= -3 + (20) x 7
= -3 + 140
= 137

Let AB be the observer and CD be the tower.

Draw BE ⊥ CD.

Then, CE = AB = 1.6 m,

BE = AC = 20√3 m.

∴ CD = CE + DE = (1.6 + 20) m = 21.6 m.

Given number:

Hence, the correct answer is "One".

 is the same as 1 × 4 : 1 × 3 i.e., 4 : 3

Share of A 

Share of B 

Difference = 48 - 36 = 12

Alternatively:

Since the ratio is 4 : 3, the difference is 

From Statement I:  From this statement, we have three possible scenarios as shown:

Clearly, Statement I alone is insufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get the following table

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Now combining both the statements, we get,

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Checking Statement I:

Using the above references, we get the following cases:

Case 1:

Case 2:
