Solution:

7.5Km

Explanation:
Denoting Ashley with A and Cecelia with C

Speed A = 60 km/hr = 1.2 x Speed C [km/hr] = 1 km/ min

Hence Speed C = 60/1.2 [km/hr] = 50 [km/hr] = 5/6 km/ min

Time C = D [km] /Speed C [km/min] = D/Speed C [min] = D/(5/6) min = 6D/5 min = 1.2 D min

Time A = D [km] /Speed A [km/min] = D/Speed A [min] = D/(1) min = D min

Since Time C – Time A = 1.5 min

Then (1.2 – 1)D min = 0.2D min = 1.5 min



Hence D = 1.5/0.2 km = 1.5*5 = 7.5 km

The total distance as calculated above is 7.5 Km.

Anybody will prefer the shop in the eastern market for sure. There are two reasons for it:
Firstly, since there are only two barbers in the town, the one running the shop in eastern market must have gotten his hair done by the one running the shop in the northern market and vice versa. Thus, if the barber in the eastern market has a shabby haircut, it must be due to the incompatibility.
Secondly, the neat and clean shop can be due to the scarcity of customers as well. While the untidy place refers to the fact that so many customers get their hair done in that shop.

Thus any one will opt for the barber shop in the eastern market.

Solution:

There are two things to keep in mind:
Firstly there is at least one red hat. (There can be two or three as well).
Secondly the competition is fair for everyone.

Thus if there is only one red hat, that person will see two green hats on other heads and will be able to deduce his own color as red. However the other students will see one red and one green hat and can never be sure. In such manner, the competition will prove to be partial for one student.

Suppose if there are two red hats. Then the students who are wearing red hats will see one red and one green hat on others. Now they must have deduced that there can’t be just one red hat. Thus they will know that they are also wearing a red hat. But the one who is wearing a green hat will see two red hats and can never be sure of his own color. In this case as well, the competition will not be fair.

Thus the only possible and fair means is if all of them are wearing a red hat. The one who is able to deduce the situation first, will raise his hand and will tell the correct answer.

Solution:

It will take the man 58 minutes to reach the top.

Since he is climbing 3 feet and falling 2 feet back every passing minute, he is actually climbing 1 feet every minute.
Therefore, he would have climbed 57 feet in 57 minutes. The remaining distance is 3 feet. He will take one more minute to climb it and reach the surface. Since he has reached the top surface, he won't slip back.
