Hour hand moves at a speed of 1/2 degree/min
The minute hand moves at a speed of 6 degrees/min
At 4:00, the hour hand is 120 degrees with the minute hand
in 45 min Minute hand covers 11/2*45 = 247.5 degrees
.’. The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand is 247.5 -120= 127.5 degrees

Assuming time taken by Ram = t

Then the time taken by Shyam = t-45/60 =t-0.75 (Since he started 45 minutes later)

Now, since the distance travelled by Ram and Shyam is same.

5t=10(t-0.75)

t=2t-0.75*2

=> t = 1.5 hours

1.5 hours after 9 a.m. =
10:30 a.m.

Let the number of workers remaining during unlock phases be x.
The average number of workers working per day during the unlock phase = (0.2x + 0.4x + 0.6x + 0.8x)/4 = 0.5x
Let the number of workers before lockdown be = y.
The average number of workers per day before lockdown = y.
It is given 0.5x = 40% of y
=> 0.5x = .4y
=> x = .8y
Hence the number of workers who migrated = y – 0.8y = 0.2y
Percentage of workers who migrated = $\frac{0.2y \times 100}{y}$ = 20%

Assume the
speed of person
is n and that of
the escalator is
N

Then, (n+N) =
d/60

(n-N) = d/80

equation,

2n = d/60 + d/80

Hence, d/n =
480/7 = 68.5
seconds

Assume the
speed of person
is n and that of
the escalator is
N

Then, (n+N) =
d/60

(n-N) = d/80

equation,

2n = d/60 + d/80

Hence, d/n =
480/7 = 68.5
seconds

Since the watch loses 5
seconds every minute
It loses 5 minutes every
hour.
The correct time would be
when it loses 12 hours=
12*60 minutes
Time taken= (12*60)/ 5=
144 hours= 6days.
The clock would show
correct time at 10 pm
Tuesday.

Let the time taken by A be x hours => Time taken by B is x – 2 hours.
1/x +1/x-2 = 7/24
48x- 48= 7×2-14x
7×2- 62x+48=0
x=8 annd 6/7
A takes 8 houre as A must be greater than 2.

At 4pm the angle between the minute and hour hand= 30×4 =120 degrees

Initial distance between min and hour hand = 120$^{\circ\ \ }$

Relative velocity of minutes hand wrt to hour hand = 11/2 $^{\circ\ \ }$ / min

Time taken for them to meet= 120/(11/2) = 240/11 minutes

At 4pm the angle between the minute and hour hand= 30×4 =120 degrees

Initial distance between min and hour hand = 120$^{\circ\ \ }$

Time taken by A to complete the marathon: 5hrs

Time taken by B to complete the marathon: 7hrs

Time taken by C to complete the marathon: 10hrs

They started the marathon at 10:10 AM, 9:30 AM and 7: 40 AM respectively

Let’s say A meet B after he travelled x minutes, B would have travelled x+40 minutes.

Now, x/x+40=5/7

7x= 5x+200

x=100 minutes.

Similarly,

Let’s say A meet C after he travelled y minutes, C would have travelled y+150 minutes.

y/(y+150)= 5/10

y=150

y-x=50 minutes

Option B

Time taken by A to complete the marathon: 5hrs

Time taken by B to complete the marathon: 7hrs

Time taken by C to complete the marathon: 10hrs

They started the marathon at 10:10 AM, 9:30 AM and 7: 40 AM respectively

Let’s say A meet B after he travelled x minutes, B would have travelled x+40 minutes.

Now, x/x+40=5/7

7x= 5x+200

x=100 minutes.

Similarly,

Let’s say A meet C after he travelled y minutes, C would have travelled y+150 minutes.

y/(y+150)= 5/10

y=150

y-x=50 minutes

Option B

Time taken by A to complete the marathon: 5hrs

Time taken by B to complete the marathon: 7hrs

Time taken by C to complete the marathon: 10hrs

They started the marathon at 10:10 AM, 9:30 AM and 7: 40 AM respectively

Let’s say A meet B after he travelled x minutes, B would have travelled x+40 minutes.

Now, x/x+40=5/7

7x= 5x+200

x=100 minutes.

Similarly,

Let’s say A meet C after he travelled y minutes, C would have travelled y+150 minutes.

y/(y+150)= 5/10

y=150

y-x=50 minutes

Option B
