#12 - Distance Speed Problem

A car M starts from point A and a car N starts from point B and move towards opposite sides at a constant speed. The cars meet 500 yards from A for the first time. After reaching the opposite points, each of the car returns back without any break and this time, they meet 300 yards from B.

What is the distance between the two points A and B and what is the relation between the speeds of the two boats?

Distance Speed Problem

When the cars first meet, they have traveled a combined distance equal to the 1 length of the distance. When they meet the second time, they have travelled 3 lengths.

The elapsed time and distance for each of the cars is three times. Now when they meet the second time, M has traveled 500x3 = 1500 yards and since, it is 300 yards longer than the total distance between both the points, the distance is 1200 yards.

The ratio of M’s speed to the ratio of N’s speed is equal to the distance that they traveled before they met for the first time.

i.e. 500/(1200 – 500) = 5/7

#13 - Hard Maths Logic Question

There is a jar in which there are two types of candies – 20 blueberry and 16 strawberry. You perform the following steps:
1) You take out two candies.
2) If the two candies are of same flavor, you add a blueberry one otherwise, you add the strawberry one.

You repeat these two steps till there is just one candy remaining in the jar. Which flavored candy will be left?

Also, if you began with 100 blueberry candies and 93 strawberry candies, which flavor would have been the last one to remain?

Hard Maths Logic Question

Let us suppose that there are x blueberry candies and y strawberry candies. While removing the candies, there can be three possibilities:
1) 2 blueberry candies. In this case, you will replace one blueberry candy and so the jar will have x+1 blueberry and y-2 strawberry candies.
2) 2 strawberry candies. In this case, you will replace 1 blueberry candy and so the jar will have x-1 blueberry candies and y strawberry candies.
3) 1 blueberry and 1 strawberry. In this case, you will replace a strawberry candy and so the jar will have x-1 blueberry candies and y strawberry candies.

In this way at each step, we are either removing a blueberry candy or replacing 2 strawberry candies by 1 blueberry candy irreversibly till there is only one candy left. Thus each strawberry candy is equivalent to 2 blueberry candies.

Therefore, if there are odd number of strawberry candies, the last candy will be strawberry and if there are even number of strawberry candies, the last one will be a blueberry one.

#19 - Hard Math Question

A generous owner of a company decided to give a bonus of $45 to every man and $60 to every woman on his birthday. But only one ninth of the men and one twelfth of woman were present to take the bonus.

Can you calculate the amount of money the owner spent if there were 3552 employees ?

Hard Math Question

17,760

Let us assume that there are x male employees.
No. of female employees will be (3553 – x)
One ninth of men = x/9 who received $45
And one twelfth of the women = (3553 – x) /12 who received $60

Thus total received = (45 * (x / 9)) + (60 * (3552 - x) / 12)
= 5 * 3552
= $17,760
