Rohit was descending from the elavator which was not working. When he had stepped down

7 steps his sir started from the bottom of the elevator and they passed each other and when Rohit had still 4 steps to go down, his sir reached at the top. Taking into consideration that sir’s 2 steps took same time as Rohit’s one what were the total no of steps?

Ans

22 steps

let no of steps be x

speed=distance/time

Distance covered by Rohit = x-7-4 (7 steps already covered and 4 were still to go)

Distance covered by sir = x

Speed of Rohit =s

Speed of sir = 2s

Time taken is equal in both the cases so

Time(rohit)=time(sir)

(x-7-4) / s = x / 2s

2x – 22 = x

x=22

A vendor who is an ex-mathematician has a number of apples and when he arranges them in rows of 3 he is left with one more, when he arranges them in rows of 5 again he is left with 1 more, Same happens with when he tries to arrange them in rows of 7 and 9 that is 1 apple is left extra.

But when he arranges them in a row of 11 he is left with none. Can u tell me how many apples were there?

Ans

946

the no is a multiple of 3,5,7,9 + a remainder of 1. So

3* 5* 7* 9= 945 + 1 =946

946 /11= 86

so it is divisible by 11 also.

A dice has faces 1 against 6, 3 against 5 and 2 against 4 always. How many such combinations of faces are possible in a dice?

Ans

24

keeping 1 and 6 fixed, we can have two combinations of 6 and 3, and two of 2 and 4 that means four. And interchanging 1 and 6 we can have two more combinations that means with one pair 8 combinations are there : 4*2=8. Similarly with other two also 8 combos. So in all 8*3=24 combos are possible.

A boy’s age is 5 times as old as his sister. His father’s age is twice to that of his mother who is five times as old as the boy. The sum of all of them equals to that of his grandmother who is celeberating his 81st birthday. How old is the boy?

Ans:

5 years old

let boys age b x

sister’s = x/5

mother’s=5x

fatther’s=2(5x)

grandmother’s=81

81=x/5+x+5x+10x

81*5 = x+5x+ 25x +50x

405 = 81x

x= 405/81

x=5

so boys age is 5 years
