During the campaign 40% of the voters promised to vote for P, and rest for Q. However, on the day of election 15% of the voters went back on their promise to vote for P and instead voted for Q. 25% of the voters went back on their promise to vote for Q and instead voted for P, Suppose, P lost by 2 votes, then what was the total number of voters? (a) 100 (b) 110 © 9% (d) 95 3 fa) Let there be overall 'x’ candidates. Initially those who decided to vote for P and Q are. 0.4 and 0.6r respectively. On the day of election 15% of 0.4r = 0.06x went from P's side to Q's side and 25% of 0.6 = 0.15x went from Q's side to P's side. Now, after transfer 'p' has 0.4x ~ 0,06x + 0.15x = 0.49 and after transfer i! has 0.6x ~ 0.15x + 0.06x = 0.51x Given, in the question that P lost by 2 votes Q-P = 2votes O51x-0.49x = 0.02x = 2 votes Hence, (xr = 100) ‘Total number of votes are 100.

The tiger takes 5 leaps per minute to the deer's 4. If the tiger and the deer cover 8 metre and 5 metre per Ieap respectively, what distance in metres will the tiger have to run before it catches the deer? 13, (800) Tiger is 50 leap of its own behind deer. Given tiger’s one leap is 8 m. So initial separation of Tiger and deer = 50 x 8 = 400 m/min ‘Tiger goes 5 leap in a minute which is equal to 5 * 8 = 40 m/min Deer goes 4 leap in a minute which is equal to 4 * 5 = 20 m/min, Now relative distance of 400 m have to be covered with (40 ~ 20) 400m Required time = (4)=20)m/min = 20m/min, 20 min.

Q.25 The old concert hall was demolished because of fears that the foundation would be affected by the construction of the new metro line in the area. Modern technology for underground metro construction tried to mitigate the impact of pressurized air pockets created by the excavation of large amounts of soil. But even with these safeguards, it was feared that the soil below the concert hall would not be stable, From this, one can infer that (a) the foundations of old buildings create pressurized air pockets underground, which are different to handle during metro construction. (b) metro construction has to be done carefully considering its impact on the foundations of existing buildings. (0) old buildings in an area form an impossible hurdle to metro construction in that area.
