1.B
The marbles used to tile the floor are square marbles. Therefore, the length of the marble = width of the marble.
As we have to use whole number of marbles, the side of the square should a factor of both 5 m 78 cm and 3m 74. And it should be the highest factor of 5 m 78 cm and 3m 74.
5m78cm=578cm and 3m74cm=374cm.
The HCF of 578 and 374 = 34.
Hence, the side of the square is 34.
The number of such square marbles required =
(578×374)/(34×34)
=17×11= 187
2.D
3.A
Solution:
The first train has a start of 25 / 5 km and the second train gains ( 35 – 25 ) or 10 km per hour.
The second train will gain 25 x 5 km in (25 x5) / 10 or 12 ½ hours.
The required distance from Delhi = 12 ½ x 35 km = 437 ½ km
4.B
Solution:
Let the total distance be x km.
Time taken at the sped of 80 km/hr = x/80 hrs.
Time taken at the sped of 60 km/hr = x/60 hrs.
He rested for ( x/60 – x/80) hrs = 20x / 60 x 80 = x/240 hrs.
his rest per hour = x/240 ÷ x/60 = ¼ hrs. = 15 minutes.
5.D
Explanation: Let the speeds of boat and stream be x and y km/hr respectively.
Then, Rate downstream = (x + y) km/hr and Rate upstream = (x – y) km/hr
Given d / (x+y) + d / ( x-y ) =5 hrs 15 minutes = 21/4 hours
and 2d / (x+y) = 7 => d / (x+y)=7/4 => 2d / (x+y)=7/2
Hence, he takes 7/2 hours to row 2d km distance downstream.
