Eddy and Freddy start simultaneously from city A and they travel to City B and City C respectively. Eddy takes 3 hours and Freddy takes 4 hours to complete the journey. If the distance between City A and City B is 450 kms and City A and City C is 300 kms. What is the ratio of their average speed of travel? (Eddy: Freddy)
Options:
(A) 8/3
(B) 2
(C) 8/5
(D) 5/8
(E) 5/3

Distance traveled by Eddy = 450 km
Time taken by Eddy = 3 hours
Average speed of Eddy = 450/3 = 150 km/hour
Distance traveled by Freddy = 300 km
Time taken by Freddy = 4 hours
Average speed of Freddy = 300/4 = 75 km/hour
Ratio of average speed of Eddy to Freddy = 150/75 = 2 So the answer is: (B).

From among the 36 students in a class, one leader and one class representative are to be appointed. In how many ways can this be done?
Options:
(A) 1360
(B) 1260
(C) 1060
(D) 1160
(E) 1460

There are 36 students and every one has equal chance of being selected as a leader. Hence, the leader can be appointed in 36 ways. When one person is appointed as leader, we are left with 35 students. Out of these 35 teachers, we can select one class representative. So, a class representative can be selected in 35 ways. Hence, the number of ways in which a leader and class representative can be selected = 36 x 35 = 1260 So the answer is: (B).
