Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1928 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.p.A.. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has enjoyed great success. Rohit once bought a Ferrari. It could go 2 times as fast as Mohit,s old Mercedes.

. A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes in one direction and the hare in the other. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered 1/5 of its distance and that too leisurely. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor should the hare increase its speed so as to tie the race? if the hare starts after 1/4 th then asnwr 35

ANS-B





37.8



Hare starts after tortoise covers 1/5th distance .

When hare covers 1/8th of distance tortoise meets hare

So distance covered by tortoise = 1-(1/5 + 1/8)

= 27/40

Time taken by both is same

time = dist/speed

So (dist/ speed) of tortoise = (dist / speed) of hare

let speed of tortoise be t and of hare be h

27/40t = 1/8h

h = (40/(8*27) )* t = 5/27 * t

Now for the next part hare has to cover 7/8 th distance when tortoise covers 1/8 th distance

so we get

1/8t = 7/8h

h = 7t

so the factor by which h,s speed increases = 7t/ (5/27 * t)

= 37.8

The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints. For men, the formula, n/P = 144 gives an approximate relationship between n and P where, n = number of steps per minute and P = pacelength in meters. Bernard knows his pacelength is 164cm.

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression

N = 12 + X*(Y - Z)

where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both plays to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be

Anoop managed to draw 7 circles of equal radii with their centres on the diagonal of a square such that the two extreme circles touch two sides of the square and each middle circle touches two circles on either side. Find the ratio of the radius of the circles to the side of the square.

1:(4+ 7

1:(4+ 7√3)

1

1:(2+ 7

1:(2+ 7√2)

(2+ 7√2):1



ANS-1/(2+6SQRT(2))

Let the radius of circle be r

let the side of square be a

then diagonal of square= a*sqrt(2)

This diagonal length = 12*r + 2r * sqrt(2)

(because the extreme circle,s radius is perpendicular to side of square.)

Thus we get



12*r+2r*sqrt(2)=a*sqrt(2)



r(6*sqrt(2)+2)=a



r/a=1/(6*sqrt(2)+2)



Thus ratio: r:a = 1:(6*sqrt(2)+2)



Ans: 1:(6*sqrt(2)+2)

40. Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.



Alice starts and the players take turns

s. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 ≤ i ≤ 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move.



If the gold coin happens to be on top when it,s a player,s turn then the player wins the game.



Initially, the gold coins the third coin from the top. Then

Alice has no winning strategy.

In order to win, Alice,s first move should be a 0-move.

In order to win, Alice,s first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.

In order to win, Alice,s first move should be a 1-move

Can you help Alok find the answer?

3125

500

375

625

ANS-3125



no divisible by 4 if its last 2 digits is divisible by 4 so we find 5 such numbers 12,24,44,32,52....so the last 2 digits are fixed...and the remaining 3 digits can be formed by 5C1 for each digits i.e. 5.so for 3 digits 5*5*5 =625 and the last 2 digits 5 is possible so 625*5==3125.



21:

10 people meet and shake hands. The maximum number of handshakes possible if there is to be no "cycle" of handshakes is (A cycle of handshakes is a sequence of k people a1, a2, ......, ak (k > 2) such that the pairs {a1, a2}, {a2, a3}, ......, {ak-1, ak}, {ak, a1} shake hands).

: We all know that Aryabhatta is the greatest mathematician who belong to India. When his daughter Mayabati was in her teen age he discovered a problem. At that the time the age of Mayabati is a prime number, let that age is a . After some years her age becomes b. then Arya Bhatta was able to solve that problem wit the help of he daughter Mayabati. If a-b=5 & product of a & b is 26 then what is the sum of two squares?



a-b=5

a*b=26

sum of two squares = a^2 + b^2

formula : (a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab

(a-b)^2 + 2ab = a^2 + b^2

5^2 + (2*26) = 77

Simple question bt big one on average age.sth like a,b,c weigheted separately 1st a,b,c ,then a& b,then b&c ,then c&a at last abc,the last weight was 167,then what will be the avg weight of the 7 weight?

ans-a+b+c =167 ;

total wt of 7 weighings = a + b + c+ (a+ b) + (b+c) + (c+a) + (a+b+c)

= 4(a+b+c)

so avg of 7 weighs = 167*4/7 = 95.43 approx
