Answer : 3. "4 (1/2)"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 4 (1/2) Explanation: Work done by P alone in one day = 1/6th of the total work done by Q alone in one day = 1/3(of that done by P in one day) = 1/3(1/6 of the total) = 1/18 of the total.    Work done by P and Q, working together in one day = 1/6 + 1/18  = 4/18 = 2/9    They would take 9/2 days = 4 (1/2) days to complete the work working together.

Answer : 2. "420 m"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 420 m Explanation: Let the length of the stationary train Y be LY Given that length of train X, LX = 300 m Let the speed of Train X be V. Since the train X crosses train Y and a pole in 60 seconds and 25 seconds respectively. => 300/V = 25 ---> ( 1 ) (300 + LY) / V = 60 ---> ( 2 ) From (1) V = 300/25 = 12 m/sec. From (2) (300 + LY)/12 = 60 => 300 + LY = 60 (12) = 720 => LY = 720 - 300 = 420 m Length of the stationary train = 420 m
