Inspired by the Golden quadrilateral project, the

UP Government recently accomplished a diamond
triangular project. Under this project, the State
Government laid down 6 lane roads connecting
three cities Ayodhya, Banaras and Chitrakoot,
which are equally separated from each other i.e., in
terms of geometry they form an equilateral
triangle. Angad and Bajrang start simultaneously
from Ayodhya and Banaras respectively, towards
Chitrakoot. When Angad covers 100 km, Bajrang
covers such a distance that the distance between
Angad and Bajrang makes 90 angle with the road
joining Banaras to Chitrakoot. When Bajrang
reaches Chitrakoot, Angad is still 150 km away
from Chitrakoot.

So, 20 employees are non-executive and 40 employees are

employees it must be given the salary of only one class
otherwise it will not be possible to find average salary.

Let the breadth of a rectangular plot be x m.

Length = (x + 15) m
Perimeter of rectangular plot = 2(l + b )
Relative velocity = V1 + V2
So, 2(x + x + 15) 30 = 2700 2(2 x + 15) 30 = 2700
Here, V1 = 10
4x + 30 = 90 4x = 60 x = 15m
Velocity of B, V1 + V2 =
So, length of plot = 15 + 15 = 30 m

(x 100)
Boney takes profit of 10% = 120
x2 150 x 100x + 15000 = 2 x2 500 x

x2 250x + 15000 = 2 x2 500x
x2 250 x 15000 = 0
x 300x + 50x 15000 = 0
x2 (x 300) + 50(x 300) = 0
Again, mechanic takes profit of 8.33%

108.33

= 132. 00132
100
Annas loss = 142.99 120 =22 .99
(x 300)(x + 50) = 0
Since, Anna sells the car at `120.50.
x = 300, x 50
Anna having money from this car is ` 120

So, distance between Ayodhya and Chitrakoot is 300 km.

Now,mechanic spents 10% on cars maintenance.

Rest distance of Bajrang = x
10r = 1000 900 10 r = 100

39. (c) Speed of jackal = Po 2 + (18)2 = (30)2

35. (b) A and B fill a cistern in 15 h and 10 h respectively but C can

empty it in 30 h. So, LCM of A, B and C is 30.
Here, speeds of jackal to train = 1 : 5

So, distance covered by train = 12 = 10 km

and distance covered by jackal = 12 = 2 km

Now, A, B and C all these three taps are open for
So, jackal will meet train at M1 which is 10 km away from A.

41. (a) Total returns obtained by X and Y together = 107. + 9.8

So, at the time when train is at A the jackal will cover 6 km
