241. If A can fill a tank in 10 hours and B in 8 hours, how long will it take if both work together?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 4 hours 48 minutes

Explanation A’s 1 hour work = 1/10 B’s 1 hour work = 1/8 Combined work per hour = 1/10 + 1/8 = (4 + 5)/40 = 9/40 Time = 1 ÷ (9/40) = 40/9 ≈ 4.44 hours = 4 hours 48 minutes

242. A and B work 7 hours a day. A completes a task in 6 days, B in 8 days. In how many days will they complete it together working 8 hours/day?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 3 days

Explanation Work done by A per hour = 1/(6*7) = 1/42 Work done by B per hour = 1/(8*7) = 1/56 Combined work per hour = 1/42 + 1/56 = (4/168 + 3/168) = 7/168 = 1/24 At 8 hours/day, work per day = 8 * 1/24 = 1/3 Total days to complete = 1 / (1/3) = 3 days

243. A person travels 80 km north and 60 km west. How far is he from starting point?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 100 km

Explanation This is a distance problem using the Pythagorean theorem . A person moves: 80 km North 60 km West These form a right triangle. Distance from starting point: d= √(80^2 + 60^2) =√(6400 + 3600) = √(10000) = 100 km Last updated question by NS on 2 MAY 2026

244. A man earned Rs. 5000 for his first 40 hours of work in a week and is then pain double of his regular hourly rate. He earned Rs. 6000 in a week. How many hours he worked in that week?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 44

Explanation Man earned Rs. 5000 for 40 hours. Regular hourly rate = 5000 / 40 = Rs. 125 Overtime rate = double = 2 x 125 = Rs. 250 Total earned = Rs. 6000 Overtime pay = 6000 - 5000 = Rs. 1000 Overtime hours = 1000 / 250 = 4 hours Total hours = 40 + 4 = 44 hours Last verified on 06-03-2026

245. A person washes eight cars in eighteen minutes. At this rate how many cars he can wash in three hours?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 80

Explanation Let's break it down: Cars washed in 18 minutes = 8 Cars washed per minute = 8 / 18 To find cars washed in 3 hours (180 minutes): Cars washed in 180 minutes = (8 / 18) * 180 = 8 * 10 = 80

246. Fatima bought 19 m 61 cm lace and used 8 m 89 cm from it on her shirt. Find the length of remaining lace?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 10.72 meters

Explanation Total length of lace = 19 m 61 cm = 19.61 m Length used = 8 m 89 cm = 8.89 m Remaining length = Total length - Length used Remaining length = 19.61 m - 8.89 m Remaining length = 10.72 m

247. A famous batsman scored a century in 38 overs. If he could keep up the same run rate, how many runs would he score in 47.5 overs?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 125 runs

Explanation Batman current runs rate = 100/38 =2.63 Runs in 47.5 overs =47.5x2.63 =124.925 (125)

248. Two trains 140 m and 160 m long run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr, respectively in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time (in seconds) which they take to cross each other is?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 10.8 s

Explanation When the trains move in opposite directions , their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds: 60 km/h + 40 km/h = 100 km/h To convert this to meters per second, divide by 3600 (since there are 3600 seconds in an hour): 100 km/h ÷ 3600 = 27.78 m/s (approximately) The total distance covered by the trains as they cross each other is the sum of their lengths: 140 m + 160 m = 300 m Time = Distance ÷ Relative Speed Time = 300 m ÷ 27.78 m/s ≈ 10.8 s

249. Ali's school is 2 Km away from home. His speed is 4 Km/h. If he starts at 7:30, after how much time will he reach the school?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 30 minutes

Explanation Distance to school = 2 km Speed = 4 km/h Time = ? Step 1: Use the formula Time = Distance ​. Speed = 2/4 ​ = 0.5 hours Step 2: Convert 0.5 hours to minutes 0.5 times 60 = 30 text{ minutes} 0.5 × 60 = 30 minutes

250. A cyclist covers a distance of 750 meters in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. What is his speed in km/hr?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 18 km/hr

Explanation To find speed, convert the time to hours and distance to kilometers: Time = 2 minutes 30 seconds = 2.5 minutes = 2.5/60 = 1/24 hours Distance = 750 meters = 0.75 kilometers Speed = Distance / Time = 0.75 / (1/24) = 0.75 x 24 = 18 km/hr
