A bus travels at 54km/h while moving but after accounting for stopping time, to let passengers on and off the coach, it averages a speed of 45km/h. How many minutes does the bus stop for each hour?
Solution (b)
In one hour without stopping, the bus would have travelled 54km.
Once stopping is factored in, the bus actually travels 45km.
So it travels 9km less far as a consequence.
Distance/Speed = Time 9km/54kmph = 0.16 hours 0.16 x 60 = 10 minutes
So the bus stops for 10 minutes in every hour on average.
Solution (b)
In one hour without stopping, the bus would have travelled 54km.
Once stopping is factored in, the bus actually travels 45km.
So it travels 9km less far as a consequence.
Distance/Speed = Time 9km/54kmph = 0.16 hours 0.16 x 60 = 10 minutes
So the bus stops for 10 minutes in every hour on average.
The product of two positive consecutive odd integers is 1 less than six times their sum. One of the integers is
Solution (d)
Product of two positive consecutive odd integers = (6 * sum of two positive consecutive odd integers ) – 1
Calculation
Let the two positive consecutive odd integers be x and (x+2)
Therefore, we have
x * (x+2) = [6*[x + x + 2]-1
x^2 + 2x = 12x + 12 -1
x^2-10x-11 = 0
x^2 + x – 11x – 11=0
x(x + 1) – 11(x + 1) = 0
x+1 = 0 or x-11 = 0
x – 11 = 0 , x = 11
Hence, positive integers are ( x, x+2) = (11,13)
13 is the answer
Solution (d)
Product of two positive consecutive odd integers = (6 * sum of two positive consecutive odd integers ) – 1
Calculation
Let the two positive consecutive odd integers be x and (x+2)
Therefore, we have
x * (x+2) = [6*[x + x + 2]-1
x^2 + 2x = 12x + 12 -1
x^2-10x-11 = 0
x^2 + x – 11x – 11=0
x(x + 1) – 11(x + 1) = 0
x+1 = 0 or x-11 = 0
x – 11 = 0 , x = 11
Hence, positive integers are ( x, x+2) = (11,13)
13 is the answer
Replace the incorrect term by the correct term in the given sequence 3, 6, 7, 10, 13, 16, 21, 24, 31, 36, 43, 46 where odd terms and even terms follow the same pattern.
Solution (c)
On separating the Odd and the Even Series, we observe the following pattern:
ODD SERIES EVEN SERIES
3
3 + 4 =7 6
7 + 6 =13 6+4 = 10
13 + 8=21 10+6 =16
21 +10=31 16+8=24
31 +12=43 24+10=34
34+12=46
On observing the given two series, we observe that the fifth term in EVEN SERIES should be replaced by 34.
Solution (c)
On separating the Odd and the Even Series, we observe the following pattern:
