Placement Question 3
3) In a dark room with no equipments other than a clock, you are given a pendulum. How can you measure your height now ?

Answer: This is a bit difficult one. Time period of pendulum is given by 2 X 3.14 X (sqrt(height of rope/gravity)). Now, gravity = g = 9.18. Using stop clock you can find the Time Period of pendulum.(average time for one oscillation). Using the formula for time period you can measure the height of the rope. Then using the rope you can measure your own height.

1) An elephant fell into a well of depth 20mts. Everyday it climbs 4 mts but at the end falls by 2 mts. Find the number of days it would take for the elephant to get out of the well ?

Solution

Since it climbs 4 mts and falls by 2 mts everyday, effectively it climbs 2 mts everyday. In 8 days it climbs 16mts. Then on 9th day it climbs by 4 mts and can get out without having to fall back. Hence it takes 9 days for the elephant to be safe.

Placement Question 2 :

2) Ramu was driving to a city full of mathematicians. There was a distance board reading the number of Kms he has to travel further. It stated that the distance when divided by 2,3,4,5 and 6 leaves a remainder 1. But when divided by 11 it leaves a remainder 0. Help Ramu in knowing the exact distance.

Solution

LCM of 2,3,4,5 and 6 is 60. LCM and its multiples are perfectly divisible by all the numbers 2,3,4,5 and 6. i.e, Then 60,120,180... 61,121,181.... would are leave a perfectly remainder 1 divisible when divided by by any of 2,3,4,5 the numbers and 2,3,4,5 or 6. 6.

Among these 121 is perfectly divisible by 11. Hence Ramu has to travel 121 Kms to reach the city of mathematicians.
