Answer : 4. "100 & 4"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 100 & 4 Explanation: Let the first number be x and the second number be y. Given 5% of x = (25% of y) + y => 5x/100 = 5y/4 => x = 25y ......(1) and also given that, x - y = 96 => x = 96 + y .....(2) From (1)&(2) 25y = 96 + y => 24y = 96 => y = 4 From (1) x = 96 + 4 = 100 Hence, the numbers are 100 & 4.

Answer :
Explanation :

PWC refers to Personal Water Crafts. To control steering on a PWC, the most needed requirement is to have power in which will allows the one using it to control the engine for it to stop or for it to move. Without power, the person using it could be out of balance or fail to start the engine. This is the basic requirement because even though it is shut off or the engine is off, the PWC is still on and it could still move without proper knowledge of the engine.

Q: 80 litres of diesel is required to travel 800 km using a 800 cc engine. If the volume of diesel required to cover a distance varies directly as the capacity of the engine, then how many litres of diesel is required to travel 1000 kms using 1200 cc engine ? 1840 0

Answer : 4. "150 lit"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 150 lit Explanation: To cover a distance of 800 kms using a 800 cc engine, the amount of diesel required = 80 litres. => the amount of diesel required to cover a distance of 1000 kms = 1000 x 80/800 = 100 litres However, the vehicle uses a 1200 cc engine and it is given that the amount of diesel required varies directly as the engine capacity. i.e., for instance, if the capacity of engine doubles, the diesel requirement will double too. Therefore, with a 1200 cc engine, quantity of diesel required = 1200/800 x 100 = 150 litres.

Answer : 2. "30 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 30 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph   Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph   Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs   Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs  350s-5 - 350s = 2 hrs 20 min = 213 = 73   => S = 30 km/hr.
