Correct
At the time of meeting, let the distance traveled by the second train be x km. Then, distance covered by the first train is (x + 100) km.
x/40 = (x + 100)/50
50x = 40x + 4000 => x = 400
So, distance between P and Q = (x + x + 100)km = 900 km.Incorrect
At the time of meeting, let the distance traveled by the second train be x km. Then, distance covered by the first train is (x + 100) km.
x/40 = (x + 100)/50

42. Question
3 men, 4 women and 6 children can complete a work in 7 days. A woman does double the work a man does and a child does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete this work in 7 days?
Correct
Let 1 woman’s 1 day work = x.
Then, 1 man’s 1 day work = x/2 and 1 child’s 1 day work x/4.
So, (3x/2 + 4x + + 6x/4) = 1/7
28x/4 = 1/7 => x = 1/49
1 woman alone can complete the work in 49 days.
So, to complete the work in 7 days, number of women required = 49/7 = 7.Incorrect

49. Question
A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that they are either blue or yellow?
Correct
Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles. Probability that both marbles are blue = ³C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (3 * 2)/(15 * 14) = 1/35
Probability that both are yellow = ²C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (2 * 1)/(15 * 14) = 1/105
Probability that one blue and other is yellow = (³C₁ * ²C₁)/¹⁵C₂ = (2 * 3 * 2)/(15 * 14) = 2/35
Required probability = 1/35 + 1/105 + 2/35
= 3/35 + 1/105 = 1/35(3 + 1/3)

50. Question
Mohit sold an article for Rs. 18000. Had he offered a discount of 10% on the selling price, he would have earned a profit of 8%. What is the cost price of the article?
Correct
Let the CP be Rs. x.
Had he offered 10% discount, profit = 8%
Profit = 8/100 x and hence his SP = x + 8/100 x = Rs. 1.08x = 18000 – 10/100(18000) = 18000 – 1800 = Rs. 16200
=> 1.08x = 16200
=> x = 15000Incorrect
