Solution:

17 mins

The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 mins. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

Let’s brainstorm a little further. To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1 across. So let’s put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross
2 comes back
7 and 10 go across
1 comes back
1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 mins

Solution:

There is a simple logic to solve this question.
The size of the chocolate is 2 x 8. Thus, you need to have 2 x 8 = 16 pieces.
Every time you break the chocolate, you will get one extra piece.
Thus, to get 16 pieces, you must break it (16 - 1) = 15 times.

Solution:

mother

We know from (3) that the youngest person was not the victim, from (4) that the youngest person was not the helper and from (6) that the youngest person was not the killer. The youngest person can only have been the witness therefore. If we make up a chart there are now three possible combinations:

Oldest person (father) H H M

Next to oldest (mother) V M H

Next to youngest (son) M V V

Youngest (daughter) W W W

(H = Helper ; V = Victim ; M = Murderer ; W = Witness)

We can work out from (5) that the father was the oldest, from (2) that the youngest person must have been the daughter. Therefore the next to the youngest must have been the son and the next to the oldest, the mother.

Solution:

192

Explanation:
I started with the number 192.
Adding the reversed 291 to 192 gave me 483.
Similarly,
483 + 384 = 867
867 + 768 = 1635
1635 + 5361 = 6996

Solution:

Costa

Explanation:
c + 1 characters-> d
o + 2 characters-> q
s + 3 characters-> v
t + 4 characters-> x
a + 5 characters-> f

=> dqvxf = costa

Solution:

The answer is 'R'

It represents the gear stick. The number 1-5 represents gears and the last one thus should be reverse i.e. R.

Solution:

Hockey Stick $49.50 & ball $0.50

Solution:

All Digits [0-9] follow the following pattern: There is one occurrence of all digits in every 10 numbers Example. Digit-9 occurred one time between 10 and 19 in 9, between 20 and 29 in 29
However, for tens(91,92,93...99) and hundreds (900,901.... 999), the occurrence is much more. Since we have included 1000, Therefor 1 is the most occurred digit.
Note: Despite three '0s' in 1000, 0 is not most occurred digit as they don't have tens and hundreds like other digits.

Solution:

The mules is moving in circular path and hence outside legs travels more distance than inner legs.
