#1
The pacelength P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints. For men,
the formula, n/P = 144 gives an approximate relationship between n and P where, n =
number of steps per minute and P = pacelength in meters. Bernard knows his pacelength
is 164cm. The formula applies to Bernard's walking. Calculate Bernard's walking speed
in kmph.

There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the
rate of one litre 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 litres, second hour it has 20, and so on). If 1/32 of B's
volume is filled after 3 hours, what is the total duration required to fill it completely?

Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated

from the rest by a line; i.e. the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the
other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The maximum value of n1(P)
over all configurations P of 10 points in the plane is

Ferrari S.p.A. is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded
by Enzo Ferrari in 1928 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and
manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947
as Ferrari S.p.A.. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued
participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has enjoyed great success.
Rohit once bought a Ferrari. It could go 2 times as fast as Mohit's old Mercedes. If the
speed of Mohit's Mercedes is 32 km/hr and the distance travelled by the Ferrari is 952
km, find the total time taken in hours for Rohit to drive that distance.

A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes
in one direction and the hare in the other. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered
1/5 of its distance and that too leisurely. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has
covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor should the hare increase its speed so as
to tie the race?

The IT giant Tirnop has recently crossed a head count of 150000 and earnings of $7
billion. As one of the forerunners in the technology front, Tirnop continues to lead the
way in products and services in India. At Tirnop, all programmers are equal in every
respect. They receive identical salaries ans also write code at the same rate.Suppose 12
such programmers take 12 minutes to write 12 lines of code in total. How long will it take
72 programmers to write 72 lines of code in total?

Planet fourfi resides in 4-dimensional space and thus the currency used by its residents
are 3-dimensional objects. The rupee notes are cubical in shape while their coins are
spherical. However the coin minting machinery lays out some stipulations on the size of
the coins.

The diameter of the coins should be at least 64mm and not exceed 512mm.
Given a coin, the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater.
The diameter of the coin must always be an integer.
You are asked to design a set of coins of different diameters with these requirements and
your goal is to design as many coins as possible. How many coins can you design?

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression
N = 12 + X*(Y - Z)
where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to
maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a
single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z).
Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally
Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal
strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be

On the planet Oz, there are 8 days in a week- Sunday to Saturday and another day called
Oz day. There are 36 hours in a day and each hour has 90 min while each minute has 60
sec. As on earth, the hour hand covers the dial twice every day.
