Sorry the second point should be like this..2. 4 times time past 3 will be 4x(which is the time to reach 6 from now).

Check this out.. Its very simple. 1. Let the time past 3 be x min. 2. 4 times how many minutes is it to 6'o clock will be 4x.3. Time between 3 and 6 is 180 min. 4. This 180 min includes x, 4x and 50. ...

. two trains of length 1/6 miles are moving towardeach other with a speed of 60 miles per hour.aproaching toward each other In how much timethey will cover each other.ans.10 secPLEASE TELL THE APPROACH FOR TIS

Total dist travelled=(1/6+1/6)=1/3miles
relative speed=(60+60)=120miles per hour
therefore,
time=dist/speed
=(1/3)/120=(1/360)hours=10secs(1hr=3600secs).tmhasan7

1. Its obvious that since the trains travel towards each other the speed is 60+60 miles/hr2. The two trains will take 2/6 miles to cross themselves, since the length of the train is 1/6 miles.3. If it...

A 1 Km wire is connected between N poles. if 1 pole is removed the distance between the pole increases by 2/3 of the original distance. How many poles are there?
tmhasan7
- Sep 25th, 2006
SIMPLE.....Step 1: Space between the two poles originally = 1000/(N-1) (If there are N poles there are N-1 Spaces)Step 2: One pole is removed. So the no of poles is N-1 and no of spaces is N-2. I...

There is a 1 km long wire. It has been fixed around a wall of the building with the help of some poles between 2 telephone towers. It is noticed that if there is a increase of 1 2/3 m in width of 2 poles then there is a need of 1 pole less. How many poles were used?
How many Poles were used?

Old Man WrinkleMan Wrinkle spent one-fourth of his life as a boy, one-eighth as a youth, and one-half as an active man. If Man Wrinkle spent 8 years as an old man, then how many years did he spend as an active man?
(1/4)y+(1/8)y+(1/2)y =p; where y =total life time.y-p=8.since p=(14/16)ywe've y=64active age=32

In case the above solution confuses.....1. If x is total life(1/4)x+(1/8)x+(1/2)x+px =x, where p is the proportion of oldage.(1/4)+(1/8)+(1/2)+p =1This gives px = 1/8x = 8 years,2. This gives, total life, x = 64 years3. One half of this is active age. So its 32 years.

Two trains each 1/6 mile in length run in opposite dirctions to each other with equal speed of 60 miles/hour. What is the time taken to completelycross over the two trains.
Speed at which two trains travel towards each other = 60+60 = 120 miles/hour.Total length to be covered = (1/6)+(1/6) = 2/6 mile.Time to taken to cover 2/6 mile at speed of 120 miles/hour is.....(2/6)/120 = 1/360 hour = 10 seconds.

Two railway lines intersect at right angles. Two Trains are racing at the same time towards that Intersection; one having left a station 40 kms from the intersection And doing 48 kmph and the other 50 kms from the intersection and doing 36 kmph. In how many hours after The start will th trains be Separated by the shortest distance and where ?
