#1373 - Solve Mathematical Problem
There are two insects on a tile. Insect X is sitting on one side of the tile (point A) and Insect Y is sitting opposite on the other side of the tile (point B). Now both of them decide to change their position and thus X starts crawling to point B and Y starts crawling to point A. When they meet and pass each other in between, X takes 20 seconds to reach to B and Y takes just 5 seconds to reach A.
Can you calculate the total time each of the insects took to change their positions?
Assume that P is the speed of Insect X and Q is the speed of Insect Y.
Let T be the number of seconds it takes them to cross paths.
Now Distance = Speed * Time
Thus for Insect X
Distance = P * T before meeting
And Distance = P *20 after meeting
For Insect Y
Distance = Q * T before meeting
And Distance = Q * 5 after meeting
Now the distance travelled by X before meeting is equal to the distance travelled by Y after meeting and vice versa
Thus
P * T = Q * 5
And Q * T = P * 20
Solving both equations, we get T = 10
Thus Insect X requires 10 + 20 = 30 seconds,
Whereas Insect Y requires 10 + 5 = 15 seconds to change the position.
#1375 - Hard Mathematics Expression Puzzle
You are given with six numbers – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. You can arrange them in any order and you can use all the four mathematics expression i.e. add, subtract, multiply and divide and also parenthesis. The result must be 278.
There are three other rules
1) You can only use a number once.
2) It is not compulsory to use all the six numbers.
3) You can't join numbers i.e. you can't use 1, 2 and 3 as 123.
(1 + (3 + 4*5)*6)*2
There can be more than one possibilities.
