Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. The general recognition of this fact is shown in the proverbial phrase,' It is the busiest man who has time to spare'. Thus, an elderly lady at leisure can spend the entire day writing a postcard to her niece. An hour will be spent in writing a postcard , another hunting for spectacles, half an hour to search for the address , an hour and a quarter in composition and twenty minutes in deciding whether or not to take an umbrella when going to the pillar box in the street. The
total effort that could occupy a busy man for three minutes, all told may in this fashion leave another person completely exhausted after a day of doubt ,anxiety and toil.

A (Your Answer): B: C:
According to Albert Einstein the non mathematician, is seized by a mysterious shuddering when he hears of 'four-dimensional' things, he is seized by a feeling, which is very similar to the thoughts awakened by the occult. And at the same time the statement that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space - time continuum is quite a common place statement. This might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ''commonplace'' by Einstein. Yet the difficulty lies more in the wording than the ideas. Einstein's concept of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and clear, when what he means by ''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is something that is continuous, A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space continuum. Most rulers are divided into inches and frWASLions, scaled down to one-sixteenth of an inch. Will it be possible to conceive a ruler, which is calibrated to a millionth or billionth of an inch. In theory there is no reason why the steps from point to point should not be even
smaller. What distinguishes a continuum is the fWASL that the space between any two points can be sub-divided into an infinite number of smaller divisions. A railroad track is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the engineer of a train can describe his position at any time by citing a single co-ordinate point - i.e., a station or a milestone. A sea captain, however, has to worry about two dimensions. The surface of the sea is a two-dimensional continuum and the co-ordinate points by which sailor fixes his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and longitude. An airplane pilot guides his plane through a three - dimensional continuum, hence he has to consider not only latitude and longitude, but also his height above the ground. The continuum of an airplane pilot constitutes space as we perceive it. In other words, the space of our world is a threedimensional continuum. Just indicating its position in space is not enough while describing any physical event, which involves motion. How position changes in time also needs to be mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a New York - Chicago express, one must mention not only that it goes from New - York to Albany to Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also the times at which it touches each of those points. This can be done either by means of a timetable or a visual chart. If the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece of ruled paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two dimensional space - time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar to most newspaper readers; a stock market chart, for example, pictures financial events in a two dimensional dollar - time continuum. Similarly for the best picturisation of the flight of an airplane from New York to Los Angeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is essential. The latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the traffic manager of the airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is the fourth dimension.
If a flight has to be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it is broken down into a series of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing, it needs to be looked at and perceived as a continuous four - dimensional space - time continuum curve.

464 512
Report | Discuss A:
70,15,15
B
Let quantity of a,b and c bought = x, y, y kg respectively Total cost = 95x + 100y + 70y = 95x + 170y Total quantity = x + 2y = 100 (Given) .........(i) Price per kg of mixture = (95x + 170y)/100 = 90 (Given) ........(ii) Solving (i) and (ii) x = 50y = 25 Q.No. : Question : 29 If all the 6 are replaced by 9, then the algebraic sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100(both inclusive) varies by Report | Discuss
Solution 6 can appear either at unit place or at decimal place. No of numbers in which 6 appear in unit place = 10 (6,16,26,.... , 96) No of numbers in which 6 appear in decimal place = 10 (60,61,62,.... , 69) if 6 is replace by 9. Then 3 will be added due to each unit place number an 30 will be added due to each decimal place number. So total addition = 3 * 10 + 30 *10 = 330 Q.No. : Question : 30 A car travels from B at a speed of 20 km/hr. The bus travel starts from A at a time of 6 A.M. There is a bus for every half an hour interval. The car starts at 12 noon. Each bus travels at a speed of 25 km/hr. Distance between A and B is 100 km.

x + y + z = 32 Total of all three circles together = 300 So, 125 + (145-x-w) + (95 - y - z) = 300 360 - (x + y + z ) - 2w = 300 x + y + z = 32 or w = 14
No. of people owning at least two brands = 32 + 14 = 46 Now, the 5 owners who had Voltas and Fedders Lloyd buying Carrier Aircon also does not change this figure because there are moving from two brands to 3 brands and 46 is including both categories. The 10 people owning only Carrier Aircon now buying Voltas also will be coming into the
category of those "owing at least two brands" and hence the figure will now be 46 + 10 = 56 These questions are based on the following data There is a cube in which one pair of adjacent faces is painted red, the second pair of adjacent faces is painted blue and a third pair of adjacent faces is painted green. This cube is now cut into 216 smaller but identical cubes.
Q.No. : Question :
46 How many small cubes are there with no red paint at all? Report | Discuss
150
A: B: C: D: Answer: A Solution No of cubes having red faces = 6*6 + 6*6 - 6 36 cubes from one face of the big cube and 36 from the adjacent face of the big cube 6 cubes are common to both So No of cubes having red faces = 66 Req Ans = 216-66 = 150 Q.No. : Question : 47 How many small cubes are there with at least two different colours on
64 81 33
44
D: Answer: D Solution Cubes which will contain colors will be at edges only. There are 12 edges. Now there are 8 corners in cube which will definitely contain at least 2 colors. Except these 8 corners there are 4* 12 = 48 cubes having at least 1 color. There are 3 edges which contain only one color (Either red or green or blue) So number of cubes having only one color = 3 * 4 = 12 So Number of cubes having at least two colors = 48-12 + 8 = 44 Q.No. : Question : A: B (Your Answer): 48 How many small cubes are there with one face painted red?

When he returned, he discovered that the potatoes had dehydrated and were now only made up of 98% water. How much did the potatoes now weigh? Report | Discuss
3 4
A: B:
Total weight = 100 pounds; potato wt= 1pound; water =99 pound Now it has dehydrated and made up of 98% water and 2 % potato matter. Since weight of potato matter can not decreased
So, 2% Potato matter = 1 pound . Let potatoes now weigh = x pound x * 2/100 = 1 or x = 50 Therefore total weight = 50 pounds Q.No. : Question : 68 One boy can eat 100 chocolates in half a minute, and another can eat half as many in twice the length of time.
