    A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 7

Answer: Option C
Explanation: let the number be 100a + 10b + c (100a + 10b +c) – (100a + 10c +b) = 36 b – c = 4

1. Nishu is standing on a railway bridge which is 180 m long. He finds that a train crosses the bridge in 20 seconds but himself in 8 seconds. Find the speed of the train?
    A. 35 kmph B. 54 kmph C. 62 kmph D. 70 kmph

Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let the length of the train be x metres. Then, the train covers x metres in 8 seconds (train is actually covering itself because length of man is very less compartable to train)and (x + 180) metres in 20 seconds. equate speed in both case,s = [latex]\frac{d}{t}[/latex] ∴ [latex]\frac{x}{8}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{x + 180}{20}[/latex] ⇔ 20x = 8([latex]\frac{x + 180}{20}[/latex]) ⇔ x = 120. ∴ Length of the train = 120 m. Speed of the train = [latex]\frac{120}{8}[/latex]m/sec (convert to km/hr i.e x [latex]\frac{18}{5}[/latex]) =[latex]\frac{120}{8}[/latex] x [latex]\frac{18}{5}[/latex] kmph = 54 kmph.
2. Two train travel in opposite directions at 36 kmph and 45 kmph and a man sitting in slower train passes the faster train in 8 seconds. Then length of the faster train is:
    A. 120 m B. 140 m C. 160 m D. 180 m

Answer: Option D
Explanation: When OPP. direction-PLUS Relative speed = (36 + 45) km/hr = [81 x [latex]\frac{5}{18}[/latex]] m/sec = [latex]\frac{45}{2}[/latex] m/sec. Length of train = [latex]\frac{45}{2}[/latex] x 8 m = 180 m.
3. A can do a piece of work in 60days working 14 hours. B has the same efficiency as of A. A and B started working together. A works 5,6,7 and 8 hours respectively on first four days and repeats the cycle again. Then B has to work how many hours daily if they together completed the work in 80 days?
    A. 1 Hour B. 2 Hours C. 3 Hours D. 4 Hours
