2.Jarius and Kylar are playing the game. If Jarius wins, then he wins twice as many games as Kylar. If Jarius loses, then Kylar wins as the same number of games that Jarius wins. How many do Jarius and Kylar play before this match? Ans ) let no of match played by the two (j and k)before the current match be x and y resp If j wins :- x + 1 =2y If k wins :- y + 1 =x Solving for two variables in two eqn ans = x = 3 and y = 2 3.Two trains travel from NewYork to Washington and the travel takes 5 hours journey time. Trains leave from Washington for every hour and an half hour and the trains leave from NewYork every hour. If the train leaves from new york , Then how many trains from washington cross this train on its way? Let us concider the time of departure of first train be 5 0 clock So it will meet the following trains from opp direction 5 0 clock to 10 o clock 5:30 10:30 6.00 11.00 6.30 7.00. 7.30.. 8.00 8.30 9.00. 9.30 10.00 will not be considered because the train starts after the train from NY reaches W

0.00 .. to 5.00 (will not be considered because the train starts arfter the train from Washington reaches NY) 0.30 .. to 5.30 .. 6.00

. 6.30 . 7.00 .. 7.30 .. 8.00 .. 8.30 9.00 9.30 So it makes a total of 19 trains. 4.A man travels a merry go round .He says 1/3rd of the children are before me and 3/4th of the children behind me.
