Speed = (78 * 5/18) m/sec = 65/3 m/sec
Time = 1 minute = 60 seconds
Let the length of the tunnel be x metres
Then, (800 + x) / 60 = 65 / 3
3(800 + x) = 3900 x = 500

C	23 : 33 : 60
D	3 : 3 : 10

Question 6 Explanation: 

Let A = 2k, B = 3k and C = 5k
A's new salary = (115 / 100) of 2k = (115 / 100) x 2k = 23k / 10
B's new salary = (110 / 100) of 3k = (110 / 100) x 3k = 33k / 10
C's new salary = (120 / 100) of 5k = (120 / 100) x 5k = 6k
New ratio = [23k / 10 : 33k / 10 : 6k] = 23 : 33 : 60

A	1.2
B	1.28
C	1.27
D	1.20

Question 7 Explanation: 

3.87 - 2.59 = (3 + 0.87) - (2 + 0.59)

A	54 km/hr
B	55 km/hr
C	45 km/hr

Let the speed of the train be x km/hr
Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr
=> x - 5 = 45
=> x = 50 km/hr

B	72
C	74.7
D	72.9

Question 34 Explanation: 

Let the initial quantity of milk in vessel be T litres
Let us say y litres of the mixture is taken out and replaced by water for n times, alternatively
Quantity of milk finally in the vessel is then given by [(T- y) /T]n * T
For the given problem, T = 90, y = 9 and n = 2
Hence, quantity of milk finally in the vessel
= [(90 - 9) /90]2 (90) = 72.9 litres
