Ques 19 Gate 2022 Set-1
A person travelled 80 km in 6 hours. If the person travelled the first part with a uniform speed of 10 kmph and the remaining part with a uniform speed of 18kmph.
What percentage of the total distance is travelled at a uniform speedof 10 kmph?
Let distance travelled at 10 kmph = d km
Remaining distance travelled at 18 kmph = (80 − d) km
Total time = (d ÷ 10) + (80 − d) ÷ 18 = 6
Multiplying throughout by 90:
9d + 5(80 − d) = 540
9d + 400 − 5d = 540
4d = 140
d = 35 km
Percentage of total distance at 10 kmph = (35 ÷ 80) × 100 = 43.75%
The percentage of total distance travelled at 10 kmph = 43.75% (Option C)
Ques 20 Gate 2022 Set-1
Four girls P, Q, R and S are studying languages in a University. P is learning French and Dutch. Q is learning Chinese and Japanese. R is learning Spanish and French. S is learning Dutch and Japanese.
Given that: French is easier than Dutch; Chinese is harder than Japanese; Dutch is easier than Japanese, and Spanish is easier than French.
Based on the above information, which girl is learning the most difficult pair of languages?
Given:
• P is learning French and Dutch.
• Q is learning Chinese and Japanese.
• R is learning Spanish and French.
• S is learning Dutch and Japanese.
Establish Language Difficulty Hierarchy:
We are given four comparative statements:
1. French is easier than Dutch (French < Dutch)
2. Chinese is harder than Japanese (Japanese < Chinese)
3. Dutch is easier than Japanese (Dutch < Japanese)
4. Spanish is easier than French (Spanish < French)
Let's combine these relationships to create an ordered list from easiest to hardest:
• From (4), Spanish is easier than French.
• From (1), French is easier than Dutch.
• From (3), Dutch is easier than Japanese.
• From (2), Japanese is easier than Chinese.
This gives us the complete difficulty order:
Spanish < French < Dutch < Japanese < Chinese
To make comparisons easier, let's assign a conceptual "difficulty score" where 1 is the easiest and 5 is the hardest:
• Spanish: 1
• French: 2
• Dutch: 3
• Japanese: 4
• Chinese: 5
Evaluate Each Girl's Pair of Languages:
Now, let's list the languages for each girl along with their difficulty scores:
• P: French (2), Dutch (3)
• Q: Chinese (5), Japanese (4)
• R: Spanish (1), French (2)
• S: Dutch (3), Japanese (4)
To find the girl learning the "most difficult pair," we can consider the total difficulty of the two languages. Let's sum the difficulty scores for each pair:
• P: 2 (French) + 3 (Dutch) = 5
• Q: 5 (Chinese) + 4 (Japanese) = 9
• R: 1 (Spanish) + 2 (French) = 3
• S: 3 (Dutch) + 4 (Japanese) = 7
Identify the Most Difficult Pair:
Comparing the total difficulty scores:
• P: 5
• Q: 9
• R: 3
• S: 7
Girl Q has the highest total difficulty score (9), indicating that she is learning the most difficult pair of languages (Chinese and Japanese).
