Ans: Jarius wins = 3 & Kylar wins = 2.

Sol 3: Let the current time is 6 AM. Then It will meet on its way 6 5 = 1AM. 6 + 5 = 11AM. So the train will meet 2.30AM, 3AM, 3.30AM 10.30AM.But it cant meet 11AM train because that particular train is ready to start its journey in the station. So totally 19 trains. Ans: 19 trains. Sol 4: Let the total number of children is X. [(X 1) / 3] + [3(X - 1) / 4] = X Solve the above equation and will get X = 13. Ans: 13 Children

Sol 5: 1 --- E; 2 --- B; 3 --- E; 4 --- A. (Please mention the reason)

Sol 7: Jones => Grocer, Clark => Druggist, Smith => Policeman, Mason => Butcher. Sol 8: 5 / 11 minutes gains because every 5 minutes gains for 11 gaps.

Sol 9: The product of the temperature is 12. GCM of 12 is, 1,2,3,4,6. In this case, 4 & 6 cant come because if such big numbers come, then the product can increase. So the other numbers are1, 2, 3. These are possible. Still we have to find two more temperature. We know that temperature may come in (-) ve value (i.e.) degree Celsius. So the product of 1, 2, 3 is 6. Therefore, -2, -1 will add these numbers. Ans: -2, -1, 1, 2, 3.

INFOSYS SOLUTION :4

Ans 1 : write x^1/3 as x^1/9. x^1/9. x^1/9 .

Now x^1/9(x^2/9 - 1) =60 Now use trial and error method. Then x= 4^9 .

Ans 4 : 31Approach:Let the total number of participants be XSo, [(x-1)/5 + 5(x-1)/6] = X

Ans 5: 45 kmph Let speed of car be x kmph Let at first he sees digits as abthat is the value of number is: 10a+b After traveling for one hour, he sees the number as bathus its value is 10b+a After traveling another hour,he sees the number as a0bthus value is 100a+b Now, 10a+b+x=10b+a..which gives x=9b-9a 10b+a+x=100a+b..which gives x=99a-9b Equating we get, b=6a since a and b are digits, a=1 and b=6 and thus x=45
