 A can complete a journey in 19 hours. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.



[A] 220 km
[B] 224 km
[C] 230 km
[D] 234 km


ANS: B
Explanation:
Let the total distance be X km. Then,
=> 15x = 168 x 20 => x = [(168 x 20)/15] = 224 km.

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.
