A pen along with its cap costs Rs. 5.50. If the cost of pen is Rs. 5, more than the cap, can you calculate the cost of the cap ?
Let the cost of cap = c
Cost of pen = (5 + c)
As per the condition
5.50 = 5 + c + c
2c = 0.5
C = 0.25
Thus the cost of the cap is 25 Paise
Can you count number of squares in a figure below ?
30 squares.
Assuming smallest square side is 1 cm, then
Total number of squares with side 1 cm: 16
Total number of squares with side 2 cm: 9
Total number of squares with side 3 cm: 4
Total number of squares with side 4 cm: 1
Adding 16+9+4+1 = 30
An ape is trying to climb on a pole that is 60 feet high. Due to the slippery surface, the ape climbs 3 feet in a minute only to slip back 2 feet.
How much time do you think the monkey will take to reach the top of the pole?
Hint: The answer is not sixty minutes.
The ape will be able to reach the top in 58 minutes.
Since the ape slips back two feet after climbing 3 feet every minute, he will reach 57 feet in 57 minutes. Now the remaining distance is 3 feet and the ape will take 1 more minute to reach there. He wont slip back because he has already reached the top.
