Question : The time in which a train 1800 m long, travelling at the speed of 30 km/hr, will pass a signal pole is:

Option 1: 200 seconds

Option 2: 250 seconds

Option 3: 220 seconds

Option 4: 216 seconds

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 216 seconds


Solution : Given: A train 1800 m long, travelling at the speed of 30 km/hr.
Convert km/hr into m/s by multiplying it with $\frac{5}{18}$.
⇒ 30 km/hr = 30 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{25}{3}$ m/s
Now, $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$
So, the time in which a train passes a signal pole $=\frac{1800}{\frac{25}{3}}=\frac{1800\times 3}{25}=216$ seconds
Hence, the correct answer is 216 seconds.

Question : The selling price of a desktop is 9 times the profit earned on selling this desktop. What is the profit percentage?

Option 1: 10%

Option 2: 12.5%

Option 3: 11.11%

Option 4: 8.33%

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 12.5%


Solution : Let's the cost price of the desktop as $C$, the profit as $P$, and the selling price as $S$
Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit
⇒ $S = 9P$
⇒ $C + P = 9P$
⇒ $C = 8P$
So, Profit % = $\frac{Profit}{Cost Price}$×100  = $\frac{P}{8P}$ ​×100 = 12.5%
Hence, the correct answer is 12.5%.
