 If all the 6 are replaced by 9, then the algebraic sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100(both inclusive) varies by

the solution is as follows:
 1)sum of numbers from 1 to 100 is 5050

2)numbers having 6 are 6,16,..56,60,61,...69,76,86,96 whose sum is 1089.

3)remove the above sum from 5050 we get 3961.

4)replace 6 in numbers in step 2 with 9,which we get 9,19,..59,90,91,..99,79,89,99 whose sum is 1419.

5)add above sum to 3961 we get 5380.

6)so increase in sum is by 5380-5050=330.

B is 50% faster than A. If A starts at 9 A.M. and B starts at 10 A.M. A travels at a speed of 50 km/hr. If A and B are 300 kms apart, The time when they meet when they travel in opposite direction is Ans:12 noon

speed of A=50 so speed of B=75.

let at T am they meet.

so distance travelled by A=50(T-9)
abd distance by B=75(T-10).

total=50(T-9)+75(T-10)=300 so T=12 noon.

A,B,C, can do a work in 8,14,16 days respectively. A does the work for 2 days. B continues from it and finishes till 25% of the remaining work. C finishes the remaining work. How many days would have taken to complete the work Ans:

A compltes 1/4th in 2 days and remaining is 3/4th.
B completes 3/16 th work in 14*3/16 21/8 days
C completes 9/16 th work in 9 days. so total no of days =2+21/8+9=13 5/8 days.

The problem may be solve in this way also .
A travel =50km/hr.
b travel=50 + 50*50/100.=75km/h.
Let x be the distance travel, after that they meet.
then x be the distance travel by A in time t1.
& the same x distance is travel by B in time t2.
then there time ratio is,
t1:t2=x/50:x/75=3:2.


Therefore if A travel x distance in time 3 hour & same distance travel by B
in 2 hour.
so, A start at 9AM+3=12 noon & B start at 10AM+2=12noon.
so they meet at 12 noon.

divya: Let Fathers age and sons age be 5x and 3x respectively
           then, Fathers age after 10 years= (5x+10)
                     Son's age after 10 years =(3x+10)
                    (5x+10)/(3x+10)=3/2
                      2(5x+10)=3(3x+10)
                     x=10
                  father's age is 50

80 coins - One Counterfeit-  No of weighings required.

The answer is 4.

Step 1:  Divide 80 as : 27 -  27- 26 : If the first two weighing are the same select 26 coins later.

 Step 2:  Taking the worst case: 27
Divide into 3 groups : 9 -9-9 

Step 3: Divide 9 as : 3-3-3

Step 4: Divide 3 as 1-1-1

The logic is: On weighing 1 and 1 , if one one tilts you know, which coin is counterfeit, else the remaining one coin is counterfeit.

Question:
How will you find distance between Nagpur and Mumbai? I took one hour more when I travel at 80 km/hr than at 90 km/hr.
 
Distance = Speed x Time

Hence ,
Distance = 80 x (t +1 )  --(1), since it takes one hour more

Distance  =  90 x t -- (2), where t is the time in hours, since speed (given)  also has dimensions in hours.

Now, dividing one by the other.  Since distance is the same , it will result to 1, hence you get the equation after solving:

t= 8

On solving for both the equations above, you get the distance as: 720 Kms.

26. A car travels from B at a speed of 20 km/hr. The bus travel starts from A at a time of 6 A.M. There is a bus for every half an hour interval. The car starts at 12 noon. Each bus travels at a speed of 25 km/hr. Distance between A and B is 100 km. During its journey , The number of buses that the car encounter is

The Answer is 3.

The car encounters the first bus when it starts, or in some mins if car starts earlier :)

The car travels slower than any bus , as given in the question, hence it will not be able to catch up with the other buses which had left before.

Distance = Speed x time. The car takes 5 hours to reach the destination. Buses take 4 hours.

Hence the bus which will start 30 minutes or 1 hour later than the car will be able to catch up with the car.

Hence the total no. of buses encountered is: 3

If all the 6 are replaced by 9, then the algebraic sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100(both inclusive) varies by Ans: 330


Another way of looking at this question is where all do we need to replace:

Exluding 60 - 69 , we are left with 9 places 6, 16,26,36,46,56,76,86,96 where adding 3 each will make the changes, hence partial sum now is 9 x 3 =27.

In the remaining part: excluding 66, 60 - 69 can to be replaced  by adding 30 , which comes as 30 x 9 =270 .

Finally , for 66 adding 33 will suffice.

Hence the difference will be:


27 + 270 +33 =   330

There will be 51 multiples of 2 between 100 and 200 (both are inclusive)
There will be 33 mutiples of 3 between 100 and 200 (both are inclusive)
Number of mutiples in common is 17
(51+33)-17 = 67
Its just logical just think cool.

Answer for 24th Question
90 x n=80 x (n+1)
=> n=8
so distance =90 x 8=720km

Answer for 12th Question is 7
Method-Let it take n hours
when they meet the distance travelled by both shud be same.
so 4*n=n(n+1)/2n=7

Question 3: 

From a pack of cards Jack, Queen, King & ace are removed. Then the algebraic sum of rest of the cards is

Answer:
A pack of cards has 52 cards.
King = 4
Queen = 4
Jack =  4
Ace = 4
Remaining cards will be from 2 to 10 individually in all the four symbols(spade, diamond, autin,claver)
Sum of numbers from 2 to 10 is 
n/2(first digit+last digit)
so, 9/2(2+10)=54
one symbol=54
Four symbol= 54*4 = 216.

The total no divisible by 2 b/w 100 and 200 is 50(102,104....)
The total no divisible by 3 b/w 100 and 200 is 29(120-150 is 10 then 151-180 is 10 then 181-200 is 6)
so total is 79.

Answer:

  1. Amount of work completed by A in 2 days:1/4
  2. B completes half of the work in:7 days
  3. Remaining 25% ie 1/4 work is completed by C in 4 days
Therefore no. of days to complete the work=2+7+4=13days

There is a simpler way of doing it.


The numbers that are changed in two ways:

i) 6 becomes 9, 16, becomes 19, 26 becomes 29....so on.... total 10 changes.

Now for all the changes of the above mentioned type.. the difference is always 3.

For eg. 9-6=3, 19-16=3... so on.... So the total variation due to this type of change is 3*10=30

Now coming to the second type of change
ii) all the digits in the 60s becomes corresponding digits in 90s.

Like 60 becomes 90, 61 becomes 91..and so on... here also the number of changes will be 10 and the variation due to this change will be 30 for each change.

So the total amount of change = 10*30=300

So adding the two up we get 300+30=330

Hope this helps.

13th questions answer is 5.

Step 1 : weigh 27,27 and 26 coins are left
Step 2 : if one 27 measure less, weigh 9, 9 and 9 is left
Step 3 : weigh 3, 3 and 3 is left
Step 4 : weigh 1, 1 and 1 is left.

but we have to check whether odd coin is in 26 coins which is left.
therefore...

Step 2 : weigh 9, 9 and 8 is left
Step 3 : weigh 3, 3 and 2 is left (if odd coin is in 8 coins which is left)
Step 4 : weigh 1, 1 and 2 is left(if odd coin is in 2 coins which is left)
Step 5 : weigh 1, 1
