a: Stream of consciousness: Distance travelled = 140 + 210m = 350m
Speed = 60 * 5/8 = 50/3m
Time = 350 * 3/50 = 21 Seconds The answer is (C).

question: Rectangular tile each of size 25cm by 65cm must be laid horizontally on a rectangular floor of size 150cm by 390cm,such that the tiles do not overlap and they are placed with edges jutting against each other on all edges. A tile can be placed in any orientation so long as its edges are parallel to the edges of floor. No tile should overshoot any edge of the floor. The maximum number of tiles that can be accommodated on the floor is:
Options:
(A) 50
(B) 40
(C) 25
(D) 36
(E) 45
answer: Stream of consciousness: Area of tile = 25*65 = 1625
Area of floor = 150*390 = 58500
No of tiles = 58500/1625 = 36
So, the no of tile = 36 The answer is (D).

q: Find the invalid no.from the following series 13, 18, 25, 30, 37, 40

(B) 18
(C) 40
(D) 37

q: The average of 13 numbers is 60. Average of the first 7 of them is 56 and that of the last 7 is 61. Find the 8th number?
Options:
(A) 39
(B) 83
(C) 45
(D) 53
(E) 64
a:
Stream of consciousness: Sum of all the 13 numbers = 13 * 60 = 780
Sum of the first 7 of them = 7 * 56 = 392
Sum of the last 7 of them = 7 * 61 = 427
So, the 8th number = 427 + 392 - 780 = 39. The answer is (A).
