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

It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep. What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
