Two trains running at speeds of 36 kmph and 54 kmph, respectively cross each other in 10 sec, if they run in opposite directions. When they run in the same direction, a person sitting in the faster train observes that he crossed the other train in 20 seconds. Find the lengths of the two trains.
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 24

Let length of slower train-1 be L1 and length of faster train-2 be L2.
Relative speed when trains run in opposite directions = (54 + 36) × 5/18 = 25 m/s
So, 10 = (L1 + L2)/25
L1 + L2 = 250 ........(1)
Relative speed when trains run in the same direction = (54 - 36) × 5/18 = 5 m/s
Now,
20 = L1/5
L1 = 100 m ..........(2)
Put (2) in (1),
L2 = 150 m

In a four-digit number, the sum of the first 2 digits is equal to that of the last 2 digits. The sum of the first and last digits is equal to the third digit. Finally, the sum of the second and fourth digits is twice the sum of the other 2 digits. What is the third digit of the number?
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 25

Let the 4 digit no. be xyzw.
According to given conditions we have x + y = z + w, x + w = z, y + w = 2x + 2z.
With help of these equations, we deduce that y = 2w, z = 5x.
Now the minimum value x can take is 1 so z = 5 and the no. is 1854, which satisfies all the conditions. Hence option A.

A is false as 
R is not reflexive or transitive
B is true.
C is false because

A milk vendor has 2 cans of milk. The first contains 25% water and the rest milk. The second contains 50% water. How much milk should he mix from each of the containers so as to get 12 litres of milk such that the ratio of water to milk is 3 : 5?
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 30

► Let x and (12-x) litres of milk be mixed from the first and second container respectively

► Amount of milk in x litres of the the first container = .75x

► Amount of water in x litres of the the first container = .25x

► Amount of milk in (12-x) litres of the the second container = .5(12-x)

► Amount of water in (12-x) litres of the the second container = .5(12-x)

► Ratio of water to milk = [.25x + .5(12-x)] : [.75x + .5(12-x)] = 3 : 5

⇒ (.25x+6-5x)/(.75x+6-.5x) =3/5

⇒(6−.25x)/(.25x+6) =3/5

⇒30−1.25x=.75x+18

⇒2x=12

⇒x=6

► Since x = 6, 12-x = 12-6 = 6

Hence 6 and 6 litres of milk should mixed from the first and second container respectively
