85. J is faster than P. J and P each walk 24 km. Sum of the speeds of J and P is 7 kmph. Sum of time taken by them is 14 hours. Then speed of J is equal to
Answer: 4 kmph
Explanation:As per the question: J > P ---(1)
and J + P = 7 ----- (2)
So, the below option can satisfy above both eq. (1) & (2)
(6, 1), (5, 2), (4, 3)
sum of time taken by them = 14 hrs. ---- (3)
To satisfy the 3rd condition
If J = 4 and P = 3.
Times taken by them = 24/4 + 24/3 = 14.

88. There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled up like, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 in tank B. (At the end of first hour, B has 10 liters, second hour it has 20 liters and so on). If tank B is 1/32 filled of the 21 hours, what is total duration of hours required to fill it completely?
Answer: 26
Explanation:for every hour water in tank in B is doubled,
Let the duration to fill the tank B is x hours.
x/32 part of water in tank of B is filled in 21 hours,
Next hour it is doubled so,
2*(x/32) part i.e (x/16) part is filled in 22 hours,
Similarly (x/8)th part in 23 hours,(x/4)th part is filled in 24 hours,
(x/2)th part is filled in 25 hours, (x)th part is filled in 26 hours
So answer is 26 hours.

89. 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. Hence the current average age has become 45. Find the age of seventh person?
Answer: 69
Explanation:Total age of 6 persons is x hours,after two years total age of 6 persons is x+12
Average age of 6 persons is after two years is 43
So (x+12)/6=43 => x = 246 ---------- (1)
After 7th person is added then (x+7th person age)/7=45
7th person age = 45 *7 - x
=> 7th age = 69
