Answer : 3. "4312 sq.m"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 4312 sq.m Explanation: Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively. 2πs = 264 and 2πl = 352 s = 2642π and l = 3522π Difference between the areas =πl2-πs2 = π1762π2-1322π2 = 1762π-1322π = (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / π = (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m

Answer : 1. "20"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 20 Explanation: Numbers of students in section A = x ∴ Numbers of students in section B and C = (100 – x) ∴ x 70 + (100 – x) 87.5 = 84 100 => 70x + 87.5 100 – 87.5x = 8400 => 8750 – 17.5x = 8400 => 17.5x = 8750 – 8400 => x = 20.

Answer : 3. "36 sec"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 36 sec Explanation: Given speed of jogger = 9 kmph Speed of train = 45 kmphAs they are in same direction, Relative speed = 45 - 9 = 36 kmph = 36x5/18 = 10 m/sDistance = 240 + 120 = 360 mts Time = distance/speed = 360/10 = 36 sec.

Answer : 1. "68 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 68 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of the faster train be 'X' kmph, Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmphTo cross slower train by faster train, Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.Time = Distance/Speed => 1/20 = 1/(x-48)X = 68 kmph
