1.There are two machines X and Y .

X produces 100X /min and takes rest of 5 min to clean after 1000X . And Y produces 75Y/min and takes 10 min rest after a production of 1500Y .what will be minimum time after which 9000 pair of X,Y will be produced............ a) 135 b) 130 c) 170 d) 180 Options 1) 135 2) 3) 4) 130 170 180 Problem with the Question? Report Here Solutions vimbloid 17-Jan-11 04:55:13 PM For machine X 100 X -> 1 min 1000 X -> 10 min + 5 min clean = 15 min So, 9000 X -> 15*9 = 135 min But the last 5 min would be for cleaning So, 9000 X can be produced by X in 130 min For machine Y 75 Y -> 1 min So, 1500 Y -> 20 min + 10 min rest = 30 min So, 9000 Y -> 30*6 = 180 min But the last 10 min would be for rest. So, 9000 Y can be made in 170 min Desired Answer = Max(min(X,Y)) = Max(130,170) = 170 min

Report Here Solutions vimbloid 18-Jan-11 10:31:04 PM Consider the side of the rectangle be x and 2 initially. After folding along the mid point of the longer side we have side as x/2,2. The ratio of longer side to short side in first is 2/x. After fold it may be 2/(x/2) or (x/2)/2 [Because we cant make out clearly if 2 or x/2 is the longer side in the new rectangle formed.] In one case upon equation x becomes zero which is not possible. Hence we consider the other equation alone, 2/x = (x/2)/2 --> x = 8; x = 22

Blue takes 12 days to finish a work. So, he finishes 1/12 of a work in 1 day. Total work to be done = 3 houses = 3 Brown works for the first 8 days. Total work done = 8*(1/6) = 4/3 Pink works for the next 6 days. Total work done = 6*(1/8) = 3/4 Total work done = 4/3 + 3/4 = 25/12 = 2 + 1/12 So, Blue would want to finish -> 3 - ( 2 + 1/12) = 11/12 of the work Since, Blue finishes 1/12 work in a day, he would take 11 more days

9.Paul the octopus who has been forecasting the outcome of FIFA world cup matches with tremendous accuracy has now been invited to predict ICC world cup matches in 2011. We will assume that the world cup contenders have been divided into 2 groups of 9 teams each. Each team in a group plays the other teams in the group. The top two teams from each group enter the semi finals ( after which the winner is decided by knockout). However, Paul has a soft spot for India and when India plays any team, Paul always backs India. Alas, his predictions on matches involving India are right only 2 out of 3 times. In order to qualify for the semi finals, it is sufficient for India to win 7 of its group matches. What is the probability that India will win the ICC world cup?
