A train travelling at a speed of 75 mph enters a tunnel 31/2 miles long

A train travelling at a speed of 75 mph enters a tunnel 31/2 miles long. The train is 1/4mile long. How long does it take for the train to pass through the tunnel from the moment the front enters to the moment the rear emerges?

A.2.5 minB.3 min
C.3.2 minD.3.5 min

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Total distance covered
=(7+1(miles
24
=15miles.
4
Therefore Time taken
=(15(hrs
4 x 75
=1hrs
20
=(1x 60(min.
20
= 3 min.

Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,.

Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,................, 2300   (Hint 44^2=1936) a. 1   b. 2    c. 3   d. Can’t be determined Answer: a Explanation: The given series is an AP with common difference of 7. So the terms in the above series are in the form of 2013 + 7k.  We have to find the perfect squares in this format in the given series. Given that 44^2 = 1936. Shortcut: To find the next perfect square, add 45th odd number to 44^2. So 45^2 = 1936 + (2 x 45 -1) = 2025 46^2 = 2025 + (2 x 46 - 1) = 2116 47^2 = 2116 + (2 x 47 - 1) = 2209 Now subtract 2013 from the above numbers and divide by 7. Only 2209 is in the format of 2013 + 7k.  One number satisfies.
