==>> Two trains 200mts and 150mts are running on the parallel rails at this rate of 40km/hr and 45km/hr.In how much time will they cross each other if they are running in the same direction.

Ans: 252sec

Sol: Relative speed=45-40=5km/hr=25/18 mt/sec

==>> 5/9 part of the population in a village are males. If 30% of the males are married, the percentage of unmarried females in the total population is:

Ans: (250/9)%

Sol: Let the population =x Males=(5/9)x
Married males = 30% of (5/9)x = x/6
Married females = x/6
Total females = (x-(5/9)x)=4x/9
Unmarried females = (4x/9 – x/6) = 5x/18
Required percentage = (5x/18 * 1/x * 100) = (250/9)%
