Question : The base of a right prism is a triangle with sides 16 cm, 30 cm, and 34 cm. Its height is 32 cm. The lateral surface area (in cm2 ) and the volume (in cm3 ) are, respectively:
Option 1: 2560 and 7680
Option 2: 2688 and 7680
Option 3: 2624 and 7040
Option 4: 2560 and 6400

Question : Train A running at 81 km/hr takes 72 sec to overtake train B, when both the trains are running in the same direction, but it takes 36 sec to cross each other if the trains are running in the opposite direction. If the length of train B is 600 metres, then find the length of train A (in metres).
Option 1: 600
Option 2: 480
Option 3: 590
Option 4: 900
Correct Answer: 480
Solution : Let the length of train A be $L{_A}$ and the speed of train B be $S{_B}$ km/hr. When both trains are running in the same direction, Distance = relative speed $\times$ time ⇒ $L{_A}+600 = (81-S{_B})\times\frac{5}{18}\times 72$ ⇒ $L{_A}+600 = (81-S{_B})\times 20$ ⇒ $L{_A}+20S{_B} =
